The study of history
develops two skills; first, the ability to understand complex changes in
society, the economy, and the government; and second, the ability to
organize and express the results in written form. The practical
reason for studying history is to recognize and analyze the complexity
of changing forces that have created our world today. History
tells a story that helps us to understand major human events and
accomplishments such as the rise and fall of civilization, the roots of
cultural differences and the evolution of science and technology.
These skills are useful
in many positions in public administration, business, law and
journalism. History also prepares students for secondary school,
social studies teaching, library science, historical presentation,
archival management and museum studies.
