Publisher's Review
Stop studying world history by memorizing it!
Let's start studying real history with 'World History Debate'

“Not reading is a problem, but not being able to read is a bigger problem.” The author expressed the biggest problem he has experienced in the reading field over the past 20 years in this powerful sentence.
It points out ‘literacy,’ which is the biggest problem in the educational field these days.
As students advance in grade level, the level of books they are required to read increases, so it is perhaps natural to feel that reading is difficult.
But how can we address this issue if it isn't simply difficult vocabulary or complex content? While teaching, the author discovered the fundamental reasons why students struggle with reading.
The answer is, ‘there is no background knowledge about world history.’

For example, George Orwell's Animal Farm should not be read simply as a fairy tale featuring animals.
This work is a historical satirical novel that sharply criticizes the political reality of the time through ‘fables.’
Therefore, to properly understand this work, one must have background knowledge of the Stalin era, which followed Lenin after the Russian Revolution.
In other words, it must be supported by background knowledge of world history.
Not only literature, but also philosophy, society, science, economics, art, music, and film, all fields are born within a historical context, so studying historical background knowledge is necessary to understand specific topics in each field.

But how should we study the vast volume of world history? Can students truly accumulate that much knowledge with just a few books and a teacher's explanations? If they simply memorize, they risk becoming "cell learners," abandoning the study of world history altogether.
Studying world history is not about memorization.
The process of finding out what meaning historical events or people have for us today is important.
The best way to do this is through a 'world history debate'.
First, building a basic knowledge of world history that serves as the background for the discussion topic, and then finding and discussing important issues within that, and learning what their historical significance is and what value they provide us today is the true study of history.
In that sense, 『Powerful Textbook World History Discussion』 will guide you well to study real history through systematic world history discussions.
