Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present?

Here is a general controversy and contention nowadays on this topic whether people should learn about the past has no value for those of us living in the present? Which means the past and history will help us make progress or not in today’s society. I had to say this problem sure is a dilemma. In the light of this statement, to some degree, a deluge of people who hold the viewpoint that the life we living in are totally based on the past, we definitely can learn a lot from our past, especially our history. Because of history plays an important role in our daily life, we cannot ignore the past. However, about the same problem, other people believe that the important thing that we need to do is facing to present and cherish today’s time we have and put effort to do everything for today and tomorrow. Obviously, they think we do not need to look backward.

As far as I am concern, from learning about the past, we can see more clearly about what had happened, what are happening and what will happen. Basic to any understanding of present knowledge is the conclusion and summary with long period time’s accumulation. Another way look at this problem is, say, past knowledge to modern society is what foundation to a grand mansion. Scarcely can we set up a skyscraper without groundwork! How can I imagine such a rapidly developing world without past supporting can long endure! And, I will find more information through my later on research to support my argument.

Well, about the research, I never done thing like this, so, I really interested in this research, I am looking forward to do this research and hopefully I can learn some useful tips for my future study. Also, I hope I can find more information to support my idea and show people who considers the past is unnecessary, I want to let them know how important the value of past and history are!
