  3. Why study history? • Believe it or not you use history all the time. However, most history you use is personal history. • i.e. You touching fire and/or hot surfaces can burn you. Therefore you don’ touch a lit fire place and you use oven mitts when handling a pan from the oven. • History classes at school focus on studying formal history. • The purpose of formal history is to learn the important values and lessons that should be inherited by each generation. • i.e. themes of Democracy, social equality, integrity of beliefs, appreciation, awareness, civic virtues • It will make you more informed when you vote!
