In class, for my essential questions, our group made up a question: Why do we study the past, present, and the future?
Give me your opinion and explanation on why.

We study the past to not make the same mistake people did in past. We study the present to check if people made the same mistake in the past again. We study the future to predict whether people will make the same mistake in the past and discuss how we can avoid it.

We study the past, present and the future because they are going to affect the lives of people by looking though time. The past of someone can be experience to someone for the present and the future. The present is going to be the footsteps towards the future. And the future is going to be the place that people are going to walk through after going through the pathway of the present.

We study the past because we look back at what our ancestors did and learn from them. We learn the future because we make prediction of what our future with be, imagining how advanced the technology and the world would be. I don't actually understand studying the present. How do we study it? Do we even study the present? Don't we make the present? Don't we just acknowledge the present? I feel like studying right now is just knowing what is happening to us at the moment.

I think just learn about where we come from because it is important to know your roots and history of your home place or your current living place, doesn't matter where. It's important to see how the new world is shaping and changing comparing to our past. By Learning present we are more aware of where are we living, we can prepare to any changes as we live in a world with scarce resource that's pretty important to expand our knowledge. By learning future we we can predict what can happen in 10 years or so, all the sudden changes that can take place that we need to prepare for all of them in order to survive. World is not permanent and that is why we need to keep on studying times,

I think its important to study the past because it could help us sort of predict the future. Its also important to study the past, especially the mistakes we've made so we can take steps to avoid making similar mistakes in the future. Since our class pretty much established that human nature doesn't change, we can assume that people in the future are gonna act similarly to people in the past. And we study the past so we can make records of our activity, so historians of the future can study our behavior much like we study the past.

Let me divide the questions into 3 parts first: Past, present and future. We need to study past in order to progress. As a human, we often conjecture about the future based on our past mistakes and deeds. With the mistakes we learned in the past, we can prepare for the future and present. Without past, we can't progress; everything we do will be based on trial and error rather than educated and scientific hypothesis.
We need to learn about present in order to prepare for future. Based on the present day technology, idea, state and more, we can actually apply what we learned in the past. If we don't know the present, even though we know about the past, we can't apply what e learned in the past on correctly to present. It would be waste of time then, to study past.
Lastly, we need to study about future in order to predict and progress. If we don't prepare for the future, we will be very futile; we won't care any natural disasters, grades, life and more. It would be chaotic. Even though we have extensive knowledge in past and present, if we don't care about future, there is no meaning for us to study past and present. As a result, those three things, past, present and future are all important for us to study.

We study the past to acquire a broader and richer understanding of our world today and our place in it. we study the present because we should know what's happening in the world to live. We study the future so our descendants can live peaceful.

I think we learn the past like history. We can know what mistakes our ancestor made. By learnning that, we can know what should we do and what should we not to do. As for present, we live in present. We need to enjoy the life now. Studying about present could make us focus more on our life. As for future, I think everyone know the importance of making plan for the future. Every plan for the future to get success. If we learn about the future, we could make a better plan for ourself.

I think we study past to understand where we came from and how the world had been developing. We study present to contribute to the well-being of the future. We study future to set the plan for the convenience of people in the future.

We study the past, present and future to know how far human being developed, how we changed, how we will change and what we will be like in the future.

I agree with Daniel Kim, that we study past to learn the mistake as history tends to repeat itself and there are many things in history that we don’t want to repeat such as the Holocaust, wars, slavery and etc. We study present ? I quite not sure what you mean by study present? and we study future to predict our future, yes still agree with people above.

We study the past to learn from mistakes and achievements of the past, we study the present to how to live without regrets, and we study the future for the people who will live in the next generation.

we study past to learn mistakes that we made in the past. By learning about the past, we would not make same mistake again. We study present to know the situation and develop the situation to be better. We study future for next generation and to make better life for later.
