Studying History

A brief Introduction

1Why study history?

Studying history increases the subject specific knowledge as?well as the general knowledge which is useful in academic as well as in social context.

Additionally those studying history gain increased analytical skills and learn how to conduct research and where to find sources.

The intellectual and linguistic precision necessary in history pushes students to sharpen their argumentative skills and to get used to employing a proper style in essay crafting.

The abilities in presentation and oration benefit as well from active participation in a history course.

The core benefit of the study of history however still is that it does enable students to gain a deeper understanding of why people do things and how they do them, a knowledge that is applicable in one’s own life.

Those who don't know history's mistakes are doomed to repeat them. - George Santayana

以史為鑒，可以知興替。
