Issue 221
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.

History is the product of people and events in different times whereas it follows a certain path that is symbolized a cryptic but perpetual line of human nature. No one can deny that history study functions mainly on clarifying the misconception that mankind diversify when they live in different periods of time. To illustrate the existence of latent connection, I support this point of view from the following three aspects.

Some current longstanding issues are left over by history. Just like the physics tells us, one may be blinded when he merely looks at the ice mountain which emerges only 1/9 of itself above the water. The problems existing nowadays may have a deep root in the ancient times. For example, in 2001, a terrorists attack called "9.11" fell upon the World Trade Centre in New York and cast the whole America with a deep shadow. This extremely tragic disaster paralyzed the national economy for a long period of time and threw the whole country into a panic. However, it is not a single trouble arising at the moment. In fact, the horrible tragedy was stemming from the most persistent social problem—the Middle East. As known to all, the powerful Roman Empire invaded Jerusalem and expelled the Jews from their land and homes more than 2000 years ago. What’s more, the Jews suffered a lot of pains and wandered about homeless due to the subsequent five Middle East wars. Never have they ever yielded to their bitter fate, otherwise, the determined people devote themselves completely to the faith of recapturing their independent country and fought for this idealism for more than 2000 years. That’s the reason why Arab and Israeli have formed a length feud and the both sides cannot accept each other. In consideration of the hearty support to Israeli from the USA, it is obvious to conclude that and the terrorists’ attack "9.11" is stemming from the longstanding matter--the Middle East. Above all, no nation is able to forget its ancestor or neglect the collective goal irrespective of the related age.

The study of the past benefits the understanding of human nature which can hardly be altered through thousands of years. For instance, Japan is a very special country in Asia, who obtains the world’s second power with its limited resources. The fact that Japan joins the list of the world powers in less than 20 years may roots in its national character including worship of the stronger and study of the innovation. As early as the Tang Dynasty, Japan sent a number of students to China aiming at researching the ancient Chinese tradition as well as absorbing the cultural achievements. After World War II, Japanese initiate a new study and imitation of the foreign advanced technology. In this way, Japan not only changed the appearance of wartime turbulence and waste, but also made a profound and lasting influence for its later social development. Eventually, it stepped onto the world powers stage by its learning spirit. That is the human nature which tends to perpetual for thousands of years.

Nowadays, individuals are living in a totally different society against the past: radio communication has replaced a loud exclamation, and mechanical transportation becomes a substitute for walking. Factually, in spite of the rapid development in technology, no one can deny the connection between human beings is universal and eternal no matter what the period they are living in. In other words, mankind bases themselves on the similar or even the same orbit in realizing modernization and achieving self social value. After all, it is not fair to lag such a potential whereas consistent connection merely as a surge of nostalgia for the past days.

有拍必回哦:lol

还是先列个提纲吧：
1. Some current longstanding issues are left over by history.
2.The study of the past benefits the understanding of human nature which can hardly be altered through thousands of years.

本来还有第三点：历史对现在有启示作用，觉得和本题关系不是很大，所以省略了:lol

简单看了一下其他人的文章提纲，感觉如果直接大谈历史的几大功能，有点偏题的嫌疑，所以...
很担心啊！也因此我删掉了一段来着:L

汗，俺刚重写完这篇。感冒了，准备早些睡，只看了下楼主的提纲。
1. Some current longstanding issues are left over by history. 题目说的是不同时代的人都有共同点，主题句是否该靠到“人”上？
2.The study of the past benefits the understanding of human nature which can hardly be altered through thousands of years. 红色部分与此段的关系好比锦和花，是否先有锦，再有此段的花会更好？
个人意见，仅供参考，呵呵
