History and Its Benefits
Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
Knowing how to live is one of the most important and necessary parts of individuals’ lives. Some people think that you should live in the moment and learning about the past, both past human experiences in general and past personal experiences in particular, will not help much to lead a satisfying life. I would like to express my opposition to this opinion. Learning about the past could help us at least in two major aspects.
Firstly, in order to avoid past mistakes, it is inevitable for individuals and societies to learn from the past. History is the accumulation of significant events that have influenced societies to a great extent. Critics of the view put forward this argument that the historical context of events is different from the context of the modern world and two situations cannot be found with the same conditions. This argument suggests it is not reasonable to expect that the same specific results would be reproduced in the present situation. The problem with the argument is that although it repudiates the possibility of producing very specific and detailed results it does not refute the possibility of general ones. Precious general results could be inferred from the context of historical events and it would be a great loss to not use this vast knowledge source called history. For example, Iranians could make use of the history of Europe with regard to the religious government. Europe has seen the consequences of the Church intervening in the affairs of the government and how catastrophic this intervention could be. Iranians thought that the problem is Christianity, not the intervention itself and this wrong inference led them to vote for The Islamic Government which violates basic human rights as easily as possible. People cannot go back in time and correct their decisions. To avoid a lifetime of regret it is best to avoid making mistakes in the first place.
Secondly, history is an undeniable resource for knowing humans’ nature and tracking down the origins of religious, moral, and societal institutions. Under the influence of modernism in the west, Tsarist Russia carried out a series of reforms. In European societies, the process of modernization was accompanied gradually by improving and expanding critical reason and the formation of civil society but in 19th-century Russia and the 20th-century Third World (including Tehran), the reverse was true. In these countries, modernization was advocated by the bureaucrats and officers (including Reza Khan) who see the benefits of their government in modernization. In this view of modernism, individuals’ rights and the duties of the government to individuals were valued little and basically, critical reasoning was not given any attention. In other words, in forceful modernization, something that was important was modernization, not modernism. On the 14th December of 1825, approximately one century after starting to build St Petersburg and after the death of Alexander I, a populist revolution in Russia for supporting the Constitution and Grand Duke Konstantin took place that we can see its similar examples in the next century and in the Third World. Many of the rebels were the people who were forced to reside in this city by the government. Their rebellion was against a king who attempted to make Russia like Europe with murder, terror, and tyranny. This explanation could be applied to Iran Revolution in the same way. The Revolution was a reaction to modernization from above.
In sum, learning about the past, at least, can benefit us from two aspects: first, to prevent societies from going to the wrong path and second, to give us a deeper knowledge of humans and institutions.
