Some people think past history has nothing or little to tell us, but others think that studying the past history can help us better understand the present. Please discuss the two views and give your own opinion

Over the past few decades, there has been a high degree of the ambivalence over this matter, whether our past helps us understand present. Whereas some people disagree with this fact, I sanguinely agree. This essay will further discuss reasons to support this notion and then deduce a logical conclusion.

At the outset, there are myriads of reasons to support this notion, but one of the most compelling reason is that past study can teach us about our legacy and would increase our confidence. Another cogent reason is that knowledge of past helps in future research. According to my own experience, when I was a university student, I performed an academic experiment which discovered the benefits of past study. Thus, the beneficial ramification of understanding the past apparently can be seen.

On the contrary, skeptics conjecture that past facts cannot be trusted. Hence studying them doesn't help. Although it seems ostensibly veridical, this is the one-sided story. As a tangible example, researchers from a reputed company proved that knowing the past helps in many ways. Hence, this is correct to presume a preconceived notion of opponents.

To conclude, while there are several compelling arguments from both the sides, I profoundly believe that the benefits of studying history far outweigh its drawbacks. Not only do the advantage of studying history prove its significance, but also pinpoints implications of not doing so.
