Why study history 3

Why should people study history?

A famous Chinese philosopher Confucius said: “Study the past if you wish to define the future”. Some people think: "Why should we study history? History consists of the events that passed centuries ago…" The answer is simple: If you don’t know history, you can’t understand your past, you can’t explain your present, and you can’t predict your future.
