What I find interesting about studying History
Hello Everyone! History has always been an interesting topic to study for a variety of reasons but primarily because it allows one to compare and contrast today’s world with the world centuries ago. This is important especially to political science majors like myself because it allows us to have a deeper, more analytical perspective on today’s issues facing our country as well as others. I look forward to learning in this class especially now that it is for honors!
Welcome to the Honors Community Arthur. I agree with you that history is an excellent discipline to pair with political science. Seeing parallels between today and past events is always enlightening. It also begs the question: Can we learn from the past?
We certainly can learn from the past. In fact, we must. Those who are ignorant of history are doomed to repeat it. While the world we live in is certainly of a different context than years ago, we can still find information of explanatory value at the least to help solve or remedy todays issues.
