103"The study of history has value only to the extent that it is relevant to our daily lives."
"If only I could turn back the time!" We always hear people say this. However, since history is irreversible, past events could never occur in our daily lives. As a result, some people regard history as mostly irrelevant to our daily lives. They even think the study of history has value only to the extent that it is relevant to our daily lives. Such opinion is biased. In fact, the value of studying history is far beyond that.
On one hand, history tells us the origin of new problems today, and helps us to better understand today's world. Things are really getting more and more complex today and problems rise one after another. While we have not solved the problems of the environment, social problems like unemployment are coming rightly towards us. How to solve these problems? People are at a loss. At this time, turn to history for help is the best choice. The past is directed linked to the present because it is the origin of the present. Delving into history, we find the origin of the environment problems is our hasty industrialization process and unemployment comes from this highly development technology. So no more worry, no more complaint, as soon as we find the origin of the problems, we could take actions rightly to solve them.
On the other, history not only tells us where the origins of the problems are but also tells us how to solve them. For one thing, history helps us to learn from mistakes and find the possible ways. Although past things could never occur in our daily lives, similar things could. Being aware of past mistakes, we are informed of what are the impossible ways. Making further investigations into the mistakes, we find where the problems are. That is why Edison finally invented the light bulb through 1800 trial-and-errors. That is why we learn from the 1930 prohibition and build a wholesome legislation system today. For another, history provides us with inspirations. When an analyst in the chemistry field developed a novel biosensor for the detection of glucose, he gets his inspiration from the work of his predecessors who introduced nanomaterials to that area. When a business man finally makes a successful strategy, he might attribute his success to the inspirations from military strategies in the past. This is history, not only tells us what should do, but also gives out tips for us about how to do.
In sum, although history seems irrelevant to our daily lives, the study of history is essential because it helps us to find the origin of new problems today as well as provides us with possible ways to solve them.
昨天堕落了,没再准备提纲,就没再写政治类的,随手拿了一篇昨天改过的同主题来写.可惜呀,严重超时.原因嘛,是我的提纲有问题,论点有交叉,害得我写不下去.改了一下,还是觉得很失败,大家借鉴一下吧! 现在发现提纲 is one thing, while 作文 is quite another. 总以为写了提纲就行了,其实问题还很多呢!
