Does learning American History bear any importance to the United States in the 21st century? The study of U.S History is what helps one place in perspective the issues before us today.Are racism,religious conflict, questions over education,the balance between civil rights and domestic security still issues today? How have we debt with those issues in the past, and what are the constitutional and legal grounds for any decisions on any those issues? without a knowledge of U.S history (and history in general) it's impossible to understand how things have come to be this way,and what solutions have been tried for what problems.The lack of historical knowledge means that each new generation must try to invent "the new wheel" anew rather than knowing what mistakes were made before and hopefully avoiding some of the most glaring ones.If you don't know where you came from, you don't know where you going.Does knowing who your parents are and where they came from have any importance to your life?If you don't know your family history you cannot understand your family. Although it's always always good to know the history,you can find out why things are happening now,why we have laws,and freedoms we have grown to know today.History makes the future.That's a fact.Therefore, learning what you're will help you deal with what's coming.If you don't know your history,you're doomed to repeat it. *btw i need at least a full paper but i have run out of things to say what eles should i add??*
