摘要：History is one of the most controversial areas of knowledge because of the fact that historical knowledge always involves interpretation and there is no historical account that can be entirely objective. It does not mean that history is not important. In contrast, history is important because it powerfully influences our understanding of who we are and where we come from. Therefore, once we switch from individual level to national level, it can be said that each nation-state or each-nationalism creates its own national memory which justifies the existence of the state in the particular territory and contributes to the unity of the nation. History, thus, can be universally considered as a transformer and/or contributor in this regard; and schools, of course, are the best place to use that “transformer” and/or “contributor” to convey the certain beliefs to our students. History as a “contributor” play an important role to make interrelationship between past, present and future brought about by an interpretation of the experience of the past; and brings past, present and future into a meaningful coherence.
