"The chief benefit of the study of history is to break down the illusion that people in one period of time are significantly different from people who lived at any other time in history."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
basically, people of different period of time are the same in some aspects
however, people in different times are different from each other in many other repects.
further, other functions of history
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I agree with part of the author's assertion that breaking down the illusion that people in one period of time are significantly different from people of any other time in history is the chief benefit of the study of history. However, the author asserts a little extremely to some extent. I take exceptions with this assertion when it comes to the following two aspects: people of different times are significantly the same; breaking down that illusion is the chief benefit of study in history.

To begin with, it is true that people, from different period of time, actually are the same with each other. According to the theory of 6-level hierarchy motives, by American Psychologist, Abraham Maslow, all the human behaviors are impelled from 6 levels that ranges from low to high: Physiological, security, love, esteem, full-filment and curiosity. It is obvious that people of either ancient times or modern times have the habit to work hard in order to feed themselves. Besides, every period of time, there are always quantities of people having strong curiosity to discover the world without whose efforts our society couldn’t have experienced so many big progresses since ancient times. The unconsciousness motives those behaviors, both the lower and the higher. Here is a small example to better illustrate this conclusion. In medieval, there was a kind of good moral called chivalry which is the same with the modern moral: heroism. The only difference is the way we call them. Therefore, the human nature hardly changes during this long period of time.

However, people of different times form their own characteristic. With the rigid development of society and technology, especially the trends of globalization, the characteristic of people in different countries have been influenced more or less by the out-coming culture. After that---sometimes we call it "culture invasion"--- the new characteristic differentiate from before. Even if the people is not involved into the globalization, they are also heavily affected by their developing technology which will change not only the way of life but also their moods, value, culture. For example, the high-intensified pace of life has made every person more vulnerable, less contact with their neighbor, resulting in a cold relationship from each other. All these will be unimaginable in ancient times. Thus, people have really confronted a lot of changes from this point of view.

Further, there are other functions in the study of history. As we all know, the major effects of learning history is to remember the experiences of before, especially the faults our procedure had made, in order to serve for the future, sometimes even predict the future. Moreover, study of history can teach us to tell between good and wrong, establishing a set of system of morality. As the saying goes, history is like a mirror. Hence, the study of history can teach us a lot rather than just telling us whether people of different times are the same.

In sum, we have to look on the question that if people in one period of time are significantly different from people who lived at any other time in history, from two points of view as mentioned above. Meanwhile, many other important benefits should not be ignored except breaking down that illusion from study of history.

I agree with part of the author's assertion I agree with the author's assertion partlythat breaking down the illusion that people in one period of time are significantly different from people of any other time in history is the chief benefit of the study of history. However, the author asserts a little extremely to some extent. I take exceptions with this assertion when it comes to the following two aspects: people of different times are significantly the same; breaking down that illusion is the chief benefit of study in history.不好吧……有一点边扭，也就是前半句话啦。

To begin with, it is true that people, from different period of time复数, actually are the same with each other怎么这么绝对阿？后面怎么转折？. According to the theory of 6-level hierarchy motives哈哈心理学概论果然没学好~马斯洛的需要层次理论是人的5个需要层次, by American Psychologist, Abraham Maslow, all the human behaviors are impelled from 6 levels that ranges from low to high: Physiological, security, love, esteem, full-filment and curiosity哪有好奇这一点？上课可没有讲我以前还上过社会心理学也没有这一点. It is obvious that people of either ancient times or modern times have the habit to work hard in order to feed themselves. Besides, every period of time, there are always quantities of people having strong curiosity to discover the world without whose efforts our society couldn’t have experienced so many big 好土的词progresses since ancient times. The unconsciousness motives those behaviors, both the lower and the higher. 跑到弗洛伊德了说明一下吧~老外应该很明白的Here is a small example to better illustrate this conclusion. In medieval, there was a kind of good moral called chivalry which is the same with the modern moral: heroism. The only difference is the way we call them.有点绝对~only哦 Therefore, the human nature hardly changes during this long period of time.有个问题：study哪里去了？不是学习历史可以blabla么？

However, people of different times form their own characteristic. With the rigid development of society and technology, especially the trends of globalization, the characteristic of people in different countries have been influenced more or less by the out-coming culture. After that---sometimes we call it "culture invasion"--- the new characteristic differentiate from before.这句话三个句子有什么逻辑联系？ Even if the people is not involved into the globalization, they are also heavily affected by their developing technology which will change not only the way of life but also their moods, value, culture. For example, the high-intensified pace of life has made every person more vulnerable, less contact with their neighbor, resulting in a cold relationship from each other. All these will be unimaginable in ancient times. Thus, people have really confronted a lot of changes from this point of view.这段话我很不喜欢不同时段的人形成不同的特征，怎么跑到全球化对特征的影响上去了同样也没有讲到学习历史这个过程

Further, there are other functions in the 去掉thestudy of history. As we all know, the major effects of learning history is to remember the experiences of before, especially the faults our procedure had made, in order to serve for the future, sometimes even predict the future. Moreover, study of history can teach us to tell between good and wrong, establishing a set of system of morality. As the saying goes, history is like a mirror. Hence, the study of history can teach us a lot rather than just telling us whether people of different times are the same.这段话还不错

In sum, we have to look on the question that if people in one period of time are significantly different from people who lived at any other time in history, from two points of view as mentioned above. 两种观点我看了半天才明白，要改的通俗易懂Meanwhile, many other important benefits should not be ignoredneglect不管范文有没有，老实用中性词 except except for知道为什么吧breaking down that illusion from study of history.
