However, sometimes history serves our daily from a broad view which may be not directly associated with our daily lives. History bring the whole society, particularly its top leaders and elites, lessons and experience which help us avoid duplicating some mistakes and consequently improve the whole society. Take the World War II as an example. After the World War I, the victorious countries imposed an severe and cruel Versailles Treaty on the Germany, and hence the cause of World War II. By learning the lessons from the tragic results, the allied countries did not repeat the mistake but help Germany realize the Democracy and economic prosper. Certainly these policies and actions did not relate to our daily directly, they indisputably guarantee us peace and more opportunities for developing economy rather than international conflicts. Without these efforts, we may still suffer a lot from war and conflicts, lose lives of our relatives and ours. History, in this perspective, has even better value than just providing individual inspiration.
In addition, history also helps cultivate our own cultural and national identity. Every country has its distinctive features which we want our children to know and to understand. That is the one significant reason nearly every modern country encourage its involvement in the education. By learning the great achievements of our ancestors,we feel proud and a commitment to our country is formed in this way. Patriotism serves a real purpose for a country to become independent and powerful. Before the collapse of the last dynasty in China, there was rare education about history and most people at that time were at a state of numbness under which they care little about politics and the future of their country. But now, the history teaching has been infused through education, from the kindergarten to the college, in order to arouse peoples loyalty to not only their ancestors and families, but the whole nation. Maybe from this point history still has no relevance to our daily lives, but no one can deny its value in maintain the cultural and national identity.
