Can the past help us learn about modern life?

I think we should use what we have learnt about people in the past to improve our lives now. We should look at things that they did right and do them that way again but not copy things that didn't work out so well.

Trudie

I think it just goes to show, we have more similarities than differences.

Eden - Age 6

I think that we can learn a lot from how people lived their lives in the past. Somethings have really changed, whilst other haven't changed much at all!

Shamsa

I think yes! There are loads of lessons and mistakes from the past that can help us get better and do better in the future.

Gemma

Sometimes yes, but I think it's important to know that just because something happened one way in the past, doesn't mean it will go the same way in the future.

Chris

I think that by learning about our past, we can understand more about our present.

Jerry - Age 10

yes i think we can learn a lot from the past. What our ancestors used to do.

aayan ali - Age 10

I think that the past cannot help us in the modern life because the past didn't know as much as we do now.
