Past and Present and Future and....Past and Present and

strongly believe that in the present is a consequence of what of the successions of pasts along the history of the universe. Therefore, I cannot agree with the assumption that what happens is disconnect to what happened in the past, or the previous of now. As stated by the German philosopher Hegel, the human history is a byproduct of the clash of progressive forces and conservative forces, according to his thinking the present is synthesis derived from this conflicted based process. Consequently, in the same way we should try to predict our future using forecasts models based on the current events, It is necessary to consider the past the framework for the developments of the present. The famous British writer, George Orwell in his novel 1984 stated that those who have the power now, can control the assemblage of the narrative of the historical process, therefore he explicitly said that "who controls the present, controls the future, who controls the present, controls the past". Therefore, if one applies this concept he can realize that the whole history narrative is artificially constructed for the purpose of alienating and exploitation of the individual - Orwell was concerned that humans while disconnected from the pasts were easily manipulated by totalitarian states. In as much as one can observe the impacts of the past in the present for historical events, one can realize the potential to attain to his own unleashes a virtuous self-discovery lead by a greater self-consciousness . Since the Austrian and Jewish born physician doctor Sigmund Freud inaugurated his therapy technique by talking to his patients in order to understand their pasts. Freud enticed the psychologist's and philosophers of the mind communities to help people by seeking to understand the past and the life history of their patients. Nowadays, psychoanalysis is extremely diffused technique that has been important triumph for treating the anxious modern individual. Ignoring the past can be a matter of self-denial, the Maoist revolution in the 1960s in China aimed to destroy history and re-set it based on the principles of the elder Mao Tse Tung. The cultural and the economic model imposed by Mao had terrible consequences for the Chinese economy generating one of the worst famines in human's history. Despite these failed reforms eroded Mao's power, which was important to drive a new generation of politicians to the control of the communist party. These new politicians were the contrary forces of Mao's, thanks to them China is now the second richest in the world economy provoked by an impressive economic performance for a country that had humanitarian problems less than half century ago. In sum, it is clear that all the events in the universe's and in the human's history are connected in a chronological order, the facts of the past are necessarily present in the current time. The present is a byproduct of the past and the things that happen now are directly related and caused by the the successive facts that make the past. Therefore, I refute the idea that learning about the past is worthless for us living in the present time.
