Why is history included in a curriculum?

Answer 1

History is included in curriculum so that we might notice that it helps us to understand that including to the past event. We prefer to define ourselves in terms of where we are going, not where we come from. The history is the part of our life from the past and now a days.(Present)

Answer 2

As the great philosopher G. Santayana once said, "those who do not understand history are destined to repeat it". History teaches us not only facts but also the concept of self-examination - of our own history, behaviors, and proclivities. History teaches us that those in power tend toward corruption, and that those who possess absolute power tend toward absolute corruption. History teaches us that long, drawn out, protracted wars accomplish little, other than mass suffering, and tend to bleed all nations (involved in such wars) of their treasure, often setting them back decades, or even centuries. History teaches us that if we do not care for those in need, we cheapen the value of life itself. Understanding history can make us better participants in our own government, whether on a local, state or national level. Ultimately, history is the story of our development as a species, and challenges us to continue that development in a way that will promote the survival of our species, rather than its destruction.
