Historical has an important role to play in the knowledge acquisition process of children. While I agree that learning historical events of their own countries are essential, I also contend that global history should not be overlooked because of the benefits it brings to children.
On the one hand, there are several reasons why studying local history pays dividends for the growth of a child. Firstly, historical events in textbooks can help students thorough insights into what happened in the past at local. For example, students of all levels are taught how their former soldiers and ancestors against invaders to protect the sovereignty of the country. Therefore, they would take pride in their origin and treasure life today. Secondly, those young individuals also learn their cultures and origins through history lessons, which reminds them of their roots and contributes to an all-round education.
On the other hand, it is wrong to reject the teaching of world history. In contemporary, when the world is becoming globalized and migrant workers have made any community a global village. An understanding of a foreign country’s history would help young individuals to assimilate into the global community. For instance, studying the world’s history broadens children’s horizon and they can learn to accept divergent cultures and customs that exist, making life more interesting. Also, children would benefit when learning of local history is placed parallel to the world history. To understand history more deeply and thoroughly at a local historical event, children should put the regional and sometimes even the world in the context. For example, schoolchildren would have a comprehensive view of Vietnam's independence in 1945 only happened after a series of historical events in the world such as Japan defeated the French army and Japan’s surrender to the allies.
In conclusion, it is ludicrous to compare the two areas of the subject because they contribute equally to the overall development of a child. Children must develop a passion for both local and world history in contemporary society.
