Why study history? I think we can look at it from two angles: from the perspective of the role of history, there are two main points: 1. Take history as a mirror to guide the future, 2. Enhance national self-esteem and self-confidence; From the perspective of the beneficiaries of history, it can be divided into micro and macro levels, one is the role of history on individuals and enterprises, and the other is the role of history on the country.
Let's learn from history and guide the future. From the most utilitarian point of view, MBA teaching should be well deserved. MBA students study to earn more money in the future, which should be the most pragmatic. So what do they study? Ford, Taylor, Ichiro Honda and Dell, whose family history is far or near, are not classic cases of courses such as marketing and human resource management? It is important for people to learn from daily life, but if someone can preserve, sort out and refine it and then spread the essence to the whole world, the effect will be greatly improved. History is actually the experience and lessons of predecessors. If it is handled well and used by us, no matter individuals, enterprises or countries, it will certainly benefit endlessly. Of course, many friends here mentioned the artificiality of historical research. For this problem, I think from the perspective of personal use history, teachers should consciously cultivate students' independent thinking ability, especially for subjective things, they should pay more attention to the process of analysis rather than the result. For example, Zeng Guofan, you said he was a bad guy, but he said he was a good guy. What's the point? He is not my neighbor, and he will not give me money or shave my head. It doesn't matter whether he is a good person or a bad person. The key is to see where his words and deeds are good and bad. Why say yes, why not? What is worth learning and learning from? Get rid of its dross and take its essence. This is the purpose of our research.
Two: Mathematics
Don't you think it's convenient to have math in your life?
When we were young, we all had a lot of imagination, inventors, scientists, biologists, many, many.
You can't do it without learning math. Everything you have learned is paving the way for your dreams. Even the simplest hand-made, if you want to make something useful in life, only mathematics can let you calculate, measure and make it in the simplest and most favorable way. If you don't have this dream. Maybe you don't have to study math too much. But it is necessary to know something.
You can learn when you need it later.
Secondly, thinking is an interesting thing. Just like why do people read novels? Why are you singing? Why are you chatting? These are all thoughts. It's really boring if people can't think when they are alive. Just like people's basic survival is to eat and live, then why do we have to do other things? These are the pleasures of thinking.
And mathematics is an advanced thinking. Maybe you can't imagine what impact it will bring to real life for the time being. For some people, it is quite interesting to discover the mystery from the topic.
Three: geography
People always have a desire to know the world. Look at the fish in the fish tank. I can only swim around in a narrow space all my life. Would you hate it? Why don't you want to kill yourself in boredom
In fact, many people are like these fish, but we have more room to be bound. This city may be our fish tank. We feel free like that fish, and so does the world.
I still want to analyze it in the sense of living. If we live in this land all our lives and do the same things over and over again, then no one will remember us after we die. We are just a speck of dust in history. But you know, life is a journey full of difficulties and miracles. You suddenly exist in this world, and you can feel the existence of "I". Whether you are alive or dead, it is irreplaceable. Since it is so difficult to live once, why not see the world more and experience more things?
Geography is just a way to expand your life in another way, just like why you want to read books. There is only so much in our life, and what we can experience is limited. Books have expanded and enriched our lives to some extent.
That's about it. Besides, I typed all these by myself except the first history. Not copied.
