There is a debate about whether or not to study history.Different people hold opposite opinions. Some people think that students should be required to study history as studying the past history can help us be able to better unnderstand the present.They believe that in history classes, students will learn many historical periods and evaluate various historical events, which can improve their analytical ability to a certain extent.In addition, learning history can improve national identity by studying historical figures and historical environment.Most importantly, learning history allows us to have solutions when encountering similar situations.We can solve the current difficulties and get rid of the current difficulties by learning the wisdom of people in the past. However,some people think history has nothing or little to tell us.They think that learning history is too boring and tedious. In the process of learning, it is difficult for students to have enthusiasm and passion, and they cannot learn much knowledge.At the same time, learning history is not beneficial for students to find jobs in the future. It is very painful for them not to find a well-paid job if they choose to study history. My own view is that learning history is exceedingly essential.As Li Shimin said, taking history as a mirror can make people know how to replace. I believe that history helps students develop a sense of national identity and understand how the social changes.So I think it is necessary to learn history.
