History

I need help with this question for my history class HIS-100.

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 history might help inform that event and a strategy for how you could be conscious of presentism in applying the past to the present.

Thanks
