Well do you guys think that society can learn from past mistakes and avoid repeating them? I know for one that if you do not study the past and learn about history and how the world got to the point it is at today then you will never be able to avoid the mistakes our ancestors made in the past. I personally believe that society will always continue to make many, if not all, of the same mistakes that have been made in the past. I believe this because many of the leaders that make important decisions are not necessarily educated like they should be and this causes them to often make uneducated decisions that could've easily been answered just by studying history.
