39. Some people say that history has little or nothing to offer, while others say 
that the study of the past helps the present. Discuss both the view and give 
your opinion. 
 
  
People have different opinions about the importance of learning history. Some of them feel it is 
completely a waste of time, while others think that it is absolutely necessary to know about the 
past events that took place in our world. In my opinion, though it takes a lot of time to learn 
history it gives us not only an insight into our culture and tradition but also a sense of identity.  
  
History refers to all the things that happened in the past, especially the social, political, or 
economic development of a nation. Literally, everything, including a nation, a city, a town, a 
subject, a business, and even a product, has its unique history. Some individuals are of the 
opinion that studying the past history is useless today but others believe it is very essential to 
know history to better understand the present.  
  
Undoubtedly, the present is the continuation of the past. Therefore, studying the past history can 
enable us to better understand what is going on around us. For example, if we are equipped with 
relevant knowledge of history, it will be easier for us to understand the evolution of mankind. It 
would also tell us how we progressed and reached where we are today. We would also know 
how technology developed step by step. History can serve us as a guide because of which we 
would not repeat the mistakes done in the previous years. We also get inspiration from the great 
men of the past through history.  
  
In conclusion, studying the past history can not only deepen and widen our knowledge but also 
help us develop the power of analysis. Thus, we are able to look at what is happening at present 
from a historical perspective and better understanding.
