各位大侠，我来交作业咯~~~汗颜哪！！！
The study of history has value only to the extent that it is relevant to our daily lives.
Basically I agree with what the author has stated, from a pragmatic’s view point, if a research on history or any other subjuect is with no relevance to actual practice, surely it’s not worth of the money and energy allocated to it. It might seem confusing to a pragmatic why historians tried so hard to find out how many lovers a Ceasar might had and investigate the all these women’s battle behind the whole event.
How can the author accurately define the the extent of relevance between the history study and daily lives is worth of reconsidering. Extent is a word that needs pondering, and which could be interpreted by people in different versions. Take the previous women-battle for example, some people might just enjoy to read such stories, who actually draw happiness from reading, surely with no doubt happiness is relevant to their lives.
By looking back we see marvoulous miracles we had created which would inspire us to march on. See the pyrimids along the Niles, The Great Wall wandering with the mountains’ curves, giant pictures located in Mexico plato, and the legendary stonehenge, historians are trying to find out whehter or not there’re exterrestials creatures behind these unbelievable architectures. Simply by admiring these, no human-being can fail to sense a tinkle of proud , and maybe this very proudness has already proved the historians’ study is worthwhile.
Ancient wisdom may benefit the present. The famous Dujiang-dam in China enabled Chengdu Plato to nourish its people, its uncomparable design has many mini-sized-copies which have solved lots of similar problems in other water systems.
With histories as mirrors, humans may have a clearer image of their already bolstered self-esteem and fallacies might be diminished . Researches have shown that after thousands of years’ evolution, our knowledge concerning science have heaped and multipled, but the same improvement did not occurred in our emotioanl ability. We still, sometimes, abandon career for love as Edward Ⅷ did. We keep on being defeated by the tempting desire of conquring, slaughtering, abtaining things do not belong to us., meanwhile longing for peace both for the world and the soul deep within. Just as what Gone With the Wind had cited : ‘When the wars were over, no one ever knew what they war about ‘ It was a depressing conclusion by an old-fashioned southern gentleman in the Civel War, revealing wars brings nothing but sorrow to the suffered people. Then by Chinese traditional philosophy: peace follows wars, and so forth. We awake to this fact that wars are unescapable. By delving into and reliving history can we feel the pulse of our predecessors, and then perfect our own ways of thinking, behaviors and solutions toward certain pendabel issues.
In sum, relevancy is a indicator in whether we should digging into an historical topic or not is generally acceptable. yet human-beings are always fond of sheer waste, and as you can never make sure which study would actually lead to so-called ‘worthiness’, just let our historians be free in their time-back journey, at least that’ll make them happy, since happiness is one kind of value after all. |
