I believe learning the Canadian history course should be mandatory.
We can learn about and analyze past events to prepare us for the future
This way, we won't have to
make the same mistakes as we did in the past
Therefore,
this is helpful
Wars, Viruses
For example, if we see an issue unfolding comprable to in the past, we may be able to predict a huge issue may occur
Learning about history can reduce racism and derogatory comments.
By shining light on these events, hopefully students will be able to establish a sense of respect to those in the minority in Canada.
For example, if you taking the example of the residential schools that existed during the 1870-1990s, those of the Indigenous community were put through lots of distress, as they were beaten and even forced to become Catholic.
Recent issue today.
By understanding these tragic pasts that those in the minority endured, such as those of colour, our society will hopefully gain empathy instead of saying discriminatory comments
By learning about our ancestors, it will give us a new appreciation for how we live
Instead of complaining about our everyday lives, that we have to go to school, or about our government, we sometimes have to put our issues into perspective.
Therefore, by comparing our times to the past, we will realize how much better off we actually are, with the evolution of our technological and society evolution.
Women in the past weren't even able to
go to school.
For example, instead of getting upset that we have to go to school, we should appreciate the fact that we are able to do so, and use technology that we have.
