"In order to solve the problems of the present and future, it is necessary to understand the past"
Living in such highly developed society, people in growing numbers feel puzzled about the function of history. Dose it have the ability to lead us to the future directly or just provide us asolutions in solving problems? There maybe one or two drawbacks of history, but I believe that the understanding of history plays an even more critical role today than before, not only in the development of people but also the global world.
Every people must has such experience, when we come up with problems and feel so depressed, our friends or families always encourage us by telling an even harder experience of some historical characters. Then we will find the motion to carry on. From this point, history give us hope and power. what's more, the understand of past can stop us from making silly mistakes. If a certain policy was questioned my most of the people, the government or the leader may compare the matter with some similar events in the past.What the solution they use or what consequence would be,if the policy was forced to promote ? So that in order to reach a brighter future , avoid an irreversible bad result, people must consider the history as a great "future teller".
More importantly, the history can solve the threatening problems which frustrated us today. For example, the year 2002 was a hurting memory for the entire human being because of the SARS,especially in China. Hundreds of people died and thousands of people's life were threatened, however, what saves the lives of people in the country is the ancient traditional Chinese medicine which was nearly forgot by people nowadays. From that moment the ancient medical treatment caught the eyes globally. The knowledge of history also warns us of the future. The lack of farm land, the extinct of certain animals , the wars in some part of the world , we can find all these experiences in the history. So that, for the coming up day, many scientists and politicians advocate the whole world to prevent the painful result in the past from happening nowadays. And people also learns a lot from them in treating the problems now.
There is not a perfect thing in the world without fault. Although history helps us a lot, it still has some disadvantages. For instance, the treatment for the slaves in the past was inhuman. They were considered as tools without respect,without freedom, what's worse, they even can not decides their own life. I always say to my friends that, if I were the slave, I would rather never come to the world.
However, the advantages of understanding the past far outweigh its disadvantages. What we should do is to face the history fairly, try to find out what is useful and avoid the bad. If people make a full use of the history , it must lead us to the far-reaching future in a efficient way.
