Three kinds of people who study history are

- Those who seek the truth

Those who seek the truth treat history like incomplete novel. They study history simply to know what happened. Nothing more, nothing less.

- Those who want to form an opinion

Those who want to form an opinion tend to study a history in order to find correlation between historical events to the condition that occurs today. Hoping that they can find explanation from the historical event.

- Those who seek confirmation on a certain view/principles

These people only interested on the moral value that drove people in the past to do what they do. They interested in the humanistic side of it all.
