Because history is about so many different things that contributed to life today, it is much more than memorizing names and dates. Learning history means coming to understand our collective, or shared, memory of events and ideas in the past and how they shaped the world over time. Those events and ideas created the place and the culture you live in right now. Learning history also means appreciating your own place in the flow of historical change. Just like those unknown people from the past, you are part of history. What you do today and in the future—and what you've already done in the past—contributes to history. Your lived experience is part of history. According to this passage, why is history important to everyone?
a)
