5 reasons why you study history?
1. Recognize mistakes.
What this means is that through the knowledge of what different people have done in the past we can make better decisions about the future. For example, after WWI Germany was left in complete disaster. Because of that along with other factors it ultimately led to WWII. With that knowledge most countries that have lost wars since then are given a reconstruction period to help rebuild and stabilize the country.
2. Human Curiosity
We humans have always been curious about what happened before. Sometimes our curiosity is answered and sometimes it remains a mystery. For example, there are many theories about how the pyramids were built, but there remains no hard evidence to support any. In order to answer questions such as these an understanding of history plays an important role.
3. Preservation
Humans have a tendency to want to be remembered for something after they are gone. Otherwise what is the point to life. Our parents instill in us many things. Some of which we pass on to our children, or even utilize in our day to day lives. When we get to the point were we know are time here on earth is short we will look back and wonder if anyone will remember me when I am gone, and for what. This example is on a small scale. Now think about all the important events in human history. If we forget them or simply choose to ignore them, we are essentially forgetting who we are and where we came from.
4. Interesting
Many people argue that history is boring. I believe that this is far from the truth. Everyone finds some part of history interesting, just not all of history. Maybe you can care less who won at the battle of Troy but find it interesting to know that Columbus was not the first to discover America, the Titanic's maiden voyage would also be its last, or that Henry Ford did not invent the automobile. When you study history pay attention to what interests you the most, you might find it surprising. After all that is the point of history, to remember. Humans tend to remember what the find interesting and forget what they do not care about.
What are the advantages of the scientific method?
The advantages of the scientific method... the scientific method is very useful when you have a problem that you can't figure out using your common sense. Here is an example( this is off of the worksheet I am working on) Ralph's isn't making enough free shots. His coach says he is holding his hands incorrectly. This question is an example of how the experimental part of the scientfic method is useful. But you would need to go through the other parts of the scientific method to get an accurate answer.
Because the reflection upon issues that are hard to answer is innate to any science and is paramount to progress. The study of philosophy is also often said to improve our capacity for critical reasoning.
What are good examples of poetic justice?
I do not know about justice but if is revenge you seek...
Sucess is a good way to take revenge but takes 10 to 20 years to realize, is only indirect (as you did nothing against the other person) and you never get the satisfation of getting even.
Now please answer:
If you are boiling with RAGE, frustrated, depressed and seeking REVENGE?
Will the person be excited about a chance to win big chunk of money?
Will you like it to know you will be the only person to know that if he or she is selected, he or she stands NOT a chance to win the money and that it did happen because of you?
And would you like to see his or her face in the "Loosers" Photo Gallery, with a tag saying "Looser" along with a photo (sent by him himself or her herself as a condition to enter the competition for the money)?
Then YOU NEED TO KNOW about an innocuous way to vent the steam off your system and still get your revenge and laugh from the moment you begin to act until you see the results months later and for the years to come.
Nominate the person a thousand times over (but at least twice!) to the "Sweet Revenge" Sweepstake [ http://sweetrevenge.110mb.com/instructions/index.html ] and you will feel much better, guaranteed!

What are 2 reasons for the fast growth of population in the past 200 years?
There are a few simple ideas that lie behind these trends. Before 1900, many children who were born did not reach adulthood so they never had their own children. In America and Europe, young children died of many diseases that we now immunize against such as diphtheria, tetanus, measles, pneumonia and whooping cough. In the 20th century, as these diseases became less common, more children lived to adulthood. result was that more children than ever before were born and lived and had their own children, all of which increased the size of the world's population. And thus one predator of humans began to recede.

Our knowledge of Jesus is indirect because we have no first-hand account of his life and mission.
The earliest New Testament gospel to be written was Mark's Gospel, but this was not written until around 70 CE and is clearly not based on eye-witness sources. All the New Testament gospels were originally anonymous and we now know that the other gospels were actually based on Mark's Gospel, either directly (Matthew and Luke) or indirectly (John).
Is geography both a social science and a science?
No. Geography is a completely different topic and subject to science. Science is a whole different topic to geography. Geography is things about the world e.g. places, sort of like history but of the planet.
