Top Ten Reasons Why History is the Best Subject

The Top Ten
1 It is interesting

The reason I love history is because my history teacher Mr Shayan is super super nice to me. Also its fun and intersting and it's the only class I have had field trips so far.

It can be, but when it comes to getting ready for real life jobs and responsibilities, history is the most useless subject.

Especially when you get to learn about your own history and heritage. Even if your black..

It is interesting when they teach it well but not when they don't

2 No math

Math is actually easy for me but history? Lots of memorization of dates, names, doesn't teach me how to survive in the wild, know about chemicals and what they do to our body, etc... History is just a bunch of writing essays, and compared to math? Math may just be a bunch of calculations but it's so easy to me! I even have to look at different versions of history and do a lot of readings. In math, barely any projects and I hate doing presentations so much

Memorizing dates and subtraction and addition isn't complex math so technically involed but not hard math

3 It will help you in life

We have a lot of evidence that the human in the past have done these have done that. History is history but if the history of human doesn't begin there will be no human raise like nowadays. History is showing about the legend, religious, culture... etc. that is important for you to understand and showing the path that the legend walk through, the legend do, and show about what the legend sacrifice to get what they want. it also show about the some wrong path that you shouldn't go through. if you know a lot of history (not only your country history but every country)it can also help you in your life in a different way.

4 It's common sense
5 It has reading in it
6 Teaches you moral lessons

Powerful morals can be learned because dang, the past people did some stupid things. Awesome, but some of them really stupid (see Trojan horse).

7 Similarities between past and present

You all know who Hitler is, right? If you don't, you shouldn't be on the Internet. Hitler is known for obvious reasons, but comparing Hitler and Napoleon Bonaparte, the made the exact same mistakes, and they tried to take over too much land. Just goes to show how the past can still be similar to mare recent times.

There are also a lot of similarities between historical events which happen at different points in the past. For example, the ancient Egyptian kings claimed to be gods, and the more recent absolute monarchs in Europe claimed to be chosen to rule by God.

8 It is awesome

It's remarkable.

9 You learn about the past

Learning about history is learning about our heritage. It connects us from the present to the past.

Like Obama does every day?

10 It can change you

It has actually changed me

The Contenders
11 It is easier to learn

Nope. I would rather learn that there is barely any oxygen in the outer space than freaking learn about boring German history. Ugh seriously history is my worst subject. This is so hard to learn.

It makes sense and it is a simple subject to learn for all ages

12 Learning about politics in the past
13 It's easy to understand

Then please explain why I got a lot of 60s in this subject. I have all 90s except for ugly history. I couldve gone to honors if history isn't freaking mandatory

14 It controls the present

No, it INFLUENCES the present.

15 It’s cool
16 It's easier than math
17 You can ignore the grim parts of history
