Possible points for studying the history of your own country is of more value
• Identity/belonging/pride
• Studying the history of your own country is easier due to access to sites/documents/evidence
• More real/interesting/meaningful
• To understand the political evolution of their country (well informed when making choices/ voting)
Other Countries:
• Avoids isolationism
• Own country’s place in world history
• Often the produce of other influences/countries/civilisations
• Migration is constant – necessary to widen studies
• The processes of human development are common to many countries
• Political borders are relatively recent developments
Both ‘your country’ and ‘other countries’ need to be considered followed by a reasoned conclusion addressing ‘more value’
