yes people do need to know about their true history because they will have more respect for it then, but its not that you even have to go back to far. you just need to understand how to appreciate what you know and put it to use. i know i am very German and its not that i have even had to do much research about it but since my family does many German traditions i have looked up exactly why certain traditions are done and how they started. i have a respect for my background and the thing is its not that you even have to necessarily have pride you just need to respect your background for what it is

They say it's important so you can learn more, especially nonfiction like text books for high school and college or the classics, but I think it is more important to be doing something than reading: playing basketball, socializing, going on dates, working on your car, etc. See, reading is very passive and probably very lonely. You just sit there. Everybody has to read enough to get buy at their jobs and school, but don't overdo it.

History is systematically collected information about the past. When used as the name of a field of study, history refers to the study and interpretation of the record of humans, families, and societies. Knowledge of history is often said to encompass both knowledge of past events and historical thinking skills.\n\nTraditionally, the study of history has been considered a part of the humanities. However, in modern academia, history is increasingly classified as a social science, especially when chronology is the focus.\n\nLiterature is literally "acquaintance with letters" as in the first sense given in the Oxford English Dictionary (from the Latin littera meaning "an individual written character (letter)"). The term has generally come to identify a collection of texts, which in Western culture are mainly prose, both fiction and non-fiction, drama and poetry. In much, if not all of the world, texts can be oral as well, and include such genres as epic, legend, myth, ballad, other forms of oral poetry, and the folktale.

I think the role of social studies is to learn from the past and not to repeat the mistakes. It also makes us comprehend and anaylze specific situations in diffrent time periods.

They are both a bachelor's degree and are therefore viewed the same. Your major determines which one you will be awarded upon graduation. History and education both fall into the arts category.

Research allows a student to explore, systematically, a field of study with the intention of finding specific information, but all along learning additional facts in the search. It allows a student to focus strictly, without int eruption, on fact and gain a greater understanding of the information at hand; and learn how it relates to their world. It expands their mental perceptions and gives them new skills for handling new situations in that particular  area of study.\n\nWhich is why it is so important that the material being studied is organized, correct, and relevant. The more organized and relevant the facts are, the faster a students mind can absorb, categorize and relate it to other objects in their long term memory. With this greater understanding and knowledge obtained through this method, the better prepared a student will be when it comes time to apply that material to a new situation in the future.\n\nThe material above is my own words and is approx. 152 words long. I suggest you expand on it a little further instead of just copying and pasting. Do as the question suggests and gain a greater understanding of the material that I have written.

Higher education is important for two reasons.  First, depending on what you want to do for a career, you might need knowledge to do your job.  You can't be an engineer without some higher education.\nSecond, in college you learn whole new ways of thinking. Employers like to hire people who have gone to college because they can think in more sophisticated ways.

The general meaning of history is encouraging us to look back at the past and not make the same mistakes our previous generations have made. It makes our society better and more efficient to have knowlege of our past so we can make society the best for future generations.

I don't think you have to know the history.  I think as long as long as you understand the concept, you get it.  I mean, for instance, look at government.  I bet no one knows the absolute, complete history of government, and still multiple brilliant minds work just fine.

History tells us many things. What happend in the past can affect what you as an individual does in your lifetime. Such as , the effects of war and or the causes. How to better improve the light bulb or something as complex as to curing a disease.

They had to study their history without going on-line and cheating. You should have studied instead of goofing off. Now, you're against the wall, needing an answer because you were too lazy in school. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! TOO BAD!

We live in the present. We can't change the past, but we can learn from it for the future.\n\nEducation is important because it teaches about the wheel, so you don't have to make it. You learned that fire was hot; did you ever touch it to find out? You learned that being electricuted is lethal; did you ever bathe with a toaster to see?\n\nFrom a deeper perspective, education is exercise for your brain. We have to get up and move so our muscles don't deteriorate and we perish. Likewise, we need to use our brains in order to empower them.\n\nThere are no other creatures like humans on the face of this Earth. We have abilities like no other and are considered superior ro every other species for it. The biggest difference is what is in our heads and what it is capable of. So at the very least education is necessary because we have power like no other living thing does, and to waste that ability (when we should be using it to do our part in the world) cancels any reason for us existing in the first place.

Because history is created by the people who end up in power. We see only one side of most things, when there are many points of view...

associate your study material with your daily life activity, or some past experience that you have had, These events will never get wiped out from your memories as you have experienced them personally. Hence, by associating them with your study you can recollect the material whenever you want.
