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.
