    HISTORY

    MEANING AND RELEVANCE.


    HISTORY

    • Is a branch of knowledge that deals with past events. (dictionary.com)


    • It is the study of or a record of past events considered together, especially events of a particular period,
    country or subject. (dictionary.Cambridge.org)
    • It is an attempt of modern people to understand history, it is a pursuit common to all human
    societies. (alphahistory.com)
    WHY HISTORY?

    • Because many people are skeptical about the practical worth of history. Some question the relevance
    and usefulness of studying things that happened long ago.
    • History teaches lessons about the past, the present and the future.
    • History teaches the students to research and interpret.
    • Research is the skill of locating and gathering information and historical evidence from many different
    places.
    WHY HISTORY?

    • History teaches the students to think and problem-solve.


    • As historians locate information and evidence, they begin to build up an understanding and a ‘picture’
    of the people, event or society being studied. As they delve deeper into the past, historians almost
    always find unanswered questions, unclear information or missing pieces of evidence.
    WHY HISTORY?

    • History teaches the students to communicate.


    • Historians and students must develop and refine techniques to share their findings and conclusions.
    • Historians can also articulate their findings in newspaper or magazine articles, interviews, lectures,
    symposiums and conferences or on the Internet.
    WHY HISTORY?

    • History prepares the students for many professions.


    • Can help the people to become successful journalists, copywriters, authors, editors, content managers,
    and marketing professionals.
    • Being able to locate, organise and manage information has enabled many history graduates to become
    outstanding researchers, librarians, information managers and administrators.
    WHY HISTORY?

    • History creates good citizens.


    • History students spend most of their time studying people and societies. They learn what it means to be
    human. They learn the value of things like ethics, empathy, diversity and social justice.
    • Many history students are also endowed with healthy skepticism. They have a willingness and capacity
    to question their own world – and perhaps find ways to make it better.
    THE RELEVANCE OF HISTORY

    • History is important to study because it is essential for all of us in understanding ourselves and the
    world around us.
    • There is a history of every field and topic, from medicine, to music, to art.
    • To know and understand history is absolutely necessary, even though the results of historical study are
    not as visible, and less immediate.
