short response 2-3 sentences

The video “What is History For?” argues that history matters because
it provides solutions to the problems of the present. Recall the
statement “Those who don’t know history won’t be able to improve the
present.” Consider a recent event, either in your personal life or in
the news. In a few sentences, describe a way that a past historical
event could inform your understanding of the recent event. Briefly
describe a strategy for how you could be conscious of presentism (the
use of modern values to interpret past events) in the study of those
past events.
