I knew history is important, but I knew it for mainly one reason; learning about our history helps us to learn from our mistakes\/successes in order to go forward into the future. While reading this article I realized not only that there are people who still believe History doesn\u2019t matter, or simply wonder why it does matter at all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cornfield brings up the idea that History allows us to explore new topics without having to learn everything new again. She says about how \u201cthe<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> human mind can and does explore much wider terrain than does the human body<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201d. Not only does History allow people to have so much more information then what is put right in front of them, but it gives them a framework to understand and make sense of the information. I found this interesting because Cornfield highlights how it is the job of educationalists to have students analyze a subject fully by understanding the history of a topic and the ways it may have changed or been challenged. The idea that History is much more than past events that helps us learn, but how we can learn from how we are living in it now is important to realize moving forward.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Before reading \u201cWhy History Matters\u201d I was already aware of the fact that it is, and needed no convincing.
