History
History is a vast area of knowledge that involves the study of the recorded past. Historians aim to gather and produce knowledge of past events and make sense of them. Studying history is essential in deepening our understanding of the present through reflections of the past
. Historical knowledge can never be absolute, and the reliability of evidence is dependent on the judgment of the historian
. Ways of knowing such as sense perception and memory are vital to the process of making sense of past events
. History is unique compared to other areas of knowledge because it cannot be revisited as it is not present anymore
. Historical study raises knowledge questions like whether it is possible to speak with certainty concerning an event that took place in the past
. Each historian's reasoning about a past event is a fruit of individual emotions, imagination, socio-cultural contexts, and shared knowledge, which lack firm conviction or certainty
. The object of historical study is very different in nature from other areas of knowledge
. History is important to study because it is essential for all of us in understanding ourselves and the world around us
. It allows us to comprehend more about our world and brings about empathy and understanding for groups of people whose history may be different from the mainstream
. Through studying history, we can develop and refine our skills in reading, writing, and critical thinking
