How can understanding the past, help us to understand our world?

Understanding our past is paramount in helping us to understand our world we live in today. The present can only be defined through our past. Everything taking place in our environment right now is a result of something that happened in our history.   

When we understand the past, we learn basic concepts and ideas. We also learn cause and effect, relationships and human nature. We can really imagine what it must have felt like to live through previous historical events. For example when we learn about the history of other countries, we can understand the sorrow or happiness caused  through there past. 

Understanding our past can help us give us a better insight into our future.  Hopefully, we can understand what we should avoid and what we should do to improve our world today.

Archeology

I would like to be an Archaeologist because you are able to discover amazing things like Tut's tomb. You could find some amazing treasures of the past and also have great fun in the desert or the Amazon. You could find old vases that help find out more from the past or you could find skeletons and see how different the bones were at that point in time.


Also a great thing about being an archaeologist is that you can travel the world while your doing it and meet amazing people.I really enjoy being outdoor and digging and looking after my garden so I think it would be really fun. A bonus to the job is that you would get to taste lots of yummy food!!!!!!!!


I would be able to share all the information that I get with others so that they can learn about the past just like me. I think it would be fun to teach others about archeology and the importance of the past. I really like watching Indiana Jones it has a lot of archeology in it.


I think it would be great to do underwater archeology and find artifacts from the titanic it would be an amazing job. Even if you were looking for less famous artifacts it would fun, sometimes I like to look for things in the see that are interesting like flags of old boats and old pieces of wood.

About me

Hi, my name is Olivia and I am from Scotland though I live in Malaysia. I am very happy because I go to a brilliant school called ISKL, which stands for the International School of Kuala Lumpur. I am reading a wonderful book right now called the secret diary of Adrian Mole aged 13 and ¾. One of my favourite sports is swimming along with football and rugby.

The last three books I have read were, The Cardturner by Louis Sachar, 11 Birthdays by Wendy Mass and last but not least The Butterfly Lion By Michael Morpurgo. I really enjoyed these books and would definitely recommend them.

The latest movie that I have seen was Diary of a Wimpy Kid The Movie, I guess it was okay but it is not my favorite movie. Probably my all time favorite movie would have to be The A Team.

One of my academic goals for this year is to improve in my math. I don’t have a certain area of focus, I would just like to work on it all a bit more. 

This year I am going to try to make lots of new friends so that if one of my friends leaves I will still have many more to play with. I am very happy because I have already made tonnes of friends.

The best vacation I have ever been on is when we went to Aviemore a small village in the Scottish Highlands. There was a water slide and flumes there and I had the best time ever!

 I am funny, helpful, artistic, caring and loving.
