People who don’t learn from history are likely to become stupid, subservient, and easily influenced. I know this sounds harsh but it’s straight up facts.People who don’t learn or study history are easily led to believe lies. In other words, people who are not taught to analyze or draw conclusions from history are easily persuaded to view the world in an image crafted by another person.Just look at this Instagram influencer who managed to convince her fan base that women stopped wearing corsets because of the male patriarchy.She claims that the male patriarchy during the Victorian Era advocated against corsets by claiming it was dangerous for women’s health. She states that corsets were beneficial for woman, citing its use for many centuries as proof.Although it’s true that corsets have advantages, such as helping straighten the back, it’s absolutely ridiculous to claim that the male patriarchy spread the myth that corsets are “torture devices” and this resulted in modern-day woman not wearing corsets.The worst part is that people in the comment section genuinely believe this to be true![1][1][1][1]This is how I responded.History proves her claim as absurd. As someone who is an avid reader of history, I assumed most people would know that woman stopped wearing corsets by the turn of the 20th century due to negative attitudes and the emergence of the flapper movement that heavily criticized the oppressive garment. During that period of history, woman craved freedom of movement in their clothing.[2][2][2][2]The impracticality and restrictiveness of the corset as well as the social and cultural changes sparked a women’s fashion revolution.It is scary to think how easy it was for her followers to buy into the “male patriarchy” theory despite no evidence backing her claim.This is why history is so important! History provides us with a better understanding of how our society is shaped and the significance of past events on our moral values, judgment and decision-making. History allows us to think deeply on issues of war, race, poverty, inequality or humanity.History is important, and it’s more than just a textbook from school. History is a treasure trove of valuable discovery, information and resources.That’s why it is vital to study history outside of the school curriculum. Don’t just learn about your country’s history but explore different time periods and major historical events from around the world. Trust me, your life will change for the better and there will be moments in your life where you’d be surprised how intelligent you are.Footnotes[1] Login • Instagram[1] Login • Instagram[1] Login • Instagram[1] Login • Instagram[2] Corsets in Fashion: A Full History[2] Corsets in Fashion: A Full History[2] Corsets in Fashion: A Full History[2] Corsets in Fashion: A Full History
