Is History A Waste Of Time

History for many has been that subject, that goes above head and hard to remember. Many fumble over its dates and others don’t understand the reason of those wars. No, matter what it be, history for some, remains subject of, “why should I even study it?” However, there are even some people, who believe history to be a very essential subject to understand the present.

This topic could be asked on either agree/disagree or discuss. Let us have a look at some of the ideas for the topic, Is history a waste of time?

History is a waste of time

  1. Most of the people, rather than understanding the event tend to memorize the dates, names and facts of history. This information is not useful in our daily lives.
  2. History is rarely relevant in the lives of individuals so it is better that they focus on science and technology.
  3. Many school ciriculum are fixed and rarely changed. So, there is no current history, the only history that helps understand the world we live in.
  4. Each historical event has its own different perspective. An individual can understand the event in his/her own way, making the event and its teachings irrelevant.

History holds importance in lives

  1. History helps young people understand their culture and country and explains the reasons for their current status.
  2. History teaches us travesties such as holocaust. Knowing them makes it sure that such events don’t take place ever again in future.
  3. History tells us about the battles our forefathers have fought to give us a bright future. This helps to give respect where it is required.
  4. Valuable information can be found in history, such as traditional medicines. Understanding them can help us make use of them in our present lives.
  5. History helps to understand change. It shows what led to the circumstances and what could be the future if we continue doing the same.

Decline Of Pollinators # Practice Reading

Pollinators ( an insect that carries pollen from one flower to another) contribute (to give to a common supply)to about 10% of the economic (involving or pertaining to one’s personal resources of money) value of crop production, but the contribution to human nutrition (the process by which organisms take in and utilize food material)by these pollinators is potentially much higher. This is because pollinators support the sexual reproduction (the state of being reproduced)(by transfer of gametes aka pollen) of crops high in essential nutrients that malnourished (poorly or improperly nourished)regions of the world rely on. This suggests that regions already facing food shortages and nutritional (providing nutrition) deficiencies (the quality or condition of being deficient; incompleteness or inadequacy)will suffer particularly hard from the global decline of bees and other pollinators.

Many of the crops dependent on animal vectors (In epidemiology, a vector is any agent (person,animal, or microorganism) that carries and transmits an infectious pathogen into another living organism)to pollinate (convey pollen to or deposit pollen on (a stigma, ovule, flower, or plant) and so allow fertilization)(instead of wind) are the ones most rich in micro nutrients essential for human health. The recent decline of important pollinators, such as the domesticated (tame and kept as a pet or on a farm.)Western honey bee, Apis mellifera, has lead to concerns on the economic and now nutritional situation of crop production.  Dr Chaplin-Kramer and colleagues (a person with whom one works in a profession or business)set out to assess (the ​act of ​judging or ​deciding the ​amount, ​value, ​quality, or ​importance of something, or the ​judgment or ​decision that is made)the importance of pollinators to global health by determining which regions these crops are most critical for and what their micro-nutrient content is.

Books Vs Technology # Essay Ideas

With the advent of technology, computers are replacing books at a very fast pace and some people believe that in the fist of books vs technology, now libraries must spend on technology rather than books. Well, you are more likely to be asked to either agree/disagree or discuss. Let us have a look at some of the ideas for the topic.
Libraries must invest in books

  1. Not all books are available in digital form, especially some specialized editions.
  2. Paper books are more reliable in a way that they cannot be deleted accidentally.
  3. Everything comes and goes. It might be even possible that someday internet is not available or closes down. Throwing away books might not be the best option.
  4. Internet has a plethora of sites. Children must be given books to read rather than internet as they might end up watching uncensored sites as well.
  5. Seeing books, often inspires and stimulates imagination.

Libraries must spend money on technology

  1. Technology is more cost effective as compared to books. For instance, to store the same information in books, one requires more space as compared to e-books.
  2. Computers offer better customer services as compared to books, because locating information in computers is easier than in books.
  3. Providing technology opens up a new world of information wherein people can access internet for information than that provided solely by library.
