▶ Your Answer : Some people believe that comprehending the past is important to have an ability to tackle obstacles facing us now and in the future, while other do not think this way. Both sides may have their own reasons to support their views. I strongly say that comprehending the past enables people to being able to tackle obstacles now and in the future, so this is crucial. There are several reasons as follows.
To begin with, comprehending their countries' past can help people improve their self-esteem and have national pride. This gives them a chance to learn many national contributors in the past and thus feel confident about their countries. Accordingly, this leads them to have a high level of self-esteem, thus become emotionally stable and feel so patriotic, whereas lack in understanding the past would cause them to become egoistic, lazy in national projects and have narrow-minded. For instance, many researcher teams, including Tokyo Researcher Center, analyzed data from two groups of students. One group consisted of those who studied in a school that force them to take history classes, whereas the other group was made up of those who did in a school where they didn't have to enroll in any history class. The researchers found that the former was more likely to have a higher level of self-esteem and patriotism. This is due to the fact that most of the first group could feel be proud of people who contributed to their countires in a diversity of fields. The researchers added they showed a stronger passion in voluntary works at many national institutions. This clearly shows that learning the past can spark people's national pride and patriotism.
On top of that, comprehending the past can help people to develop many skills. This provides people with many advice to correct their wrong behaviors and improve their performance in schools or companies. When these advice are well taken, people can achieve great success and enhance problem-solving skills. Let me bring up my personal example to verify my contention. When I was in middle school, I did poorly. I tended to be procrastinate and just give up when I was faced with difficult problems, because my teacher always said my solutions were not viable and unreasonable. However, when I read ' Yi-Sun-Shin general ', a book regarding a great Korean general in 16 century, I could come up with brilliant ideas and make many classmates amazing. To more specific, tactics that the admiral took advantage of in order to save a nation in crisis offered an innovative solution when I was in academic difficulties. From that time, I have been a history buff and taught many people about how crucial learning the history is.
In a nut shell, I firmly believe that that people must comprehend the past in order to being able to tackle obstacles now and in the future, because they can improve many problem-solving skills and feel confident about their countries, which leads them to become emotionally stable and passionate in work.
