What do
you get
from
studying
History?
Learning about
people - how they
interact, the motives
and emotions that
can tear people apart
into rival factions or
help them to work
together for a
common cause
(useful knowledge for
team-building at
work!).
Learning about countries, societies and
cultures - so many of today's conflicts
and alliances have their roots in the past;
how can you negotiate with, trade
successfully with, or report on a country
if you know nothing of its history?
Learning to locate and sift
facts - to identify truth and
recognise myth, propaganda
and downright lies (useful in
every aspect of life!)
Presenting what
you've learned in
a way that makes
sense to others -
whether in
graphs, essays or
reports - and
having the
confidence to
defend your
findings.
