History and Politica

In our country, Japan, most people are not interested in politics.

The election rate continues to decline for many years.

There should be many reasons for this situation, but I think, this is the matter of education system.

Mostly, in elementary, junior high and high school, all of us study history and politics separately. And teachers focuses on the ancient era, so there are so time remain when they reach the modern era.

Actually, history is deeply connected, linked with politics, but we don't realize the linkage between these two, because we aren't studying the modern history adequately.

We assume the historical event as just an event, and no relation with ourselves. Though most historical events are the results of politics.

In the other country, in the history classes, there are many workshop that the historical events are dealt for the case study.

Anyway, I mean that we must have more interest in politics.
