Without a sense of history, we cannot understand where our world has come from nor can we understand where it might be going. With the rapid pace at which the world is changing, it is even more important that we have a good sense of how we got to where we are.At a more practical level, the study of history also teaches us some important skills: to examine a problem or question critically, to consider it analytically, to draw an informed conclusion based upon that analysis, and to effectively communicate that analysis and conclusion. It is these skills - critical thinking, analysis and effective communication - which employers are increasingly seeking.
