Paper Summary:
This essay will argue that Gagnon's ultimate answer to this question is that history teaches people about the past so that democratic societies will possess enough of a collective memory to survive the inevitable bad times that challenge, and sometimes destroy, societies. In the process, Gagnon discusses the advantages and disadvantages of various modes of teaching history; from traditional political history to more contemporary social history.More papers on "Why Study History?":
