Can some answer a short question, essay and a scholar activity

1. In 1998, Historian Peter Stearns’ keynote address to the American Historical Association asked “Why Study History?” Professor Stearns opened his talk by noting, “People live in the present. They plan for and worry about the future. History, however, is the study of the past. Given all the demands that press in from living in the present and anticipating what is yet to come, why bother with what has been? Given all the desirable and available branches of knowledge, why insist—as most American educational programs do—on a good bit of history? And why urge many students to study even more history than they are required to?”  This week’s Discussion Board Topic is straightforward, consider Professor Stearns’ comments and simply answer his question–“Why Study History?”

Review the Stearns article (listed below), answer the following in your own words: “Why I believe it is important to study history.”  (http://www.historians.org/about-aha-andmembership/aha-history-and-archives/archives/why-study-history-%281998%29)
 
First, examples from this unit should be utilized as part of your answer and topics must include, but are not limited to the following items:
 
• Describing the migration of Native American tribes. • The influence trade, agriculture, and tools they had on movements and settlements. • How colonial actions and colonization impacted those among whom the colonists settled.  
 
Second, when studying the movements of Native American peoples and European exploration during the 15th and 16th centuries, what does history tell us about the motivations, practices, and outcomes from the European quests of God, gold, and glory? Why do you believe it was important to study these motivating factors?
