Numismatics

Numismatics is not limited to study or collection of currency, including coins, tokens, paper money or related objects but can be used to explore it further to study the past human life and culture by the recovery and examination of remaining material evidence, such as buildings, tools, pottery and coins. One of the best things for an archaeologist to find while digging is a coin. The reason is simple; it can instantly provide some date for the layer they are digging and provides information for trade, economy, social organisation, culture, mythology, ideologies, personages, leadership, military, important events etc. While numismatists are also characterised as students or collectors of coins, the discipline also includes the broader study of money and other payment media used.

Culture

Culture affects perception – It influences behaviour – It shapes our personalities. It gives new perspective and people see the world very differently, but as we explore culture, it's also important to remember how much we have in common, it helps to have some perspective and understanding of their cultures. Culture is the invisible bond which ties people together. It refers to the pattern of human activity. The art, literature, language, and religion of a community represent its culture. Our cultural values and beliefs manifest themselves through our lifestyle. Our moral values represent our culture. The importance of culture lies in its close association with the ways of thinking and living. Differences in cultures have led to a diversity in the people from different parts of the world.

History

History is important because it allows us to see societal patterns. We can learn the types of cultures and traditions people followed as well as their way of living. All cultures that we know of today have their roots in the cultures of the past. History can provide us with insight into our cultures of origin as well as cultures with which we might be less familiar, thereby increasing cross-cultural awareness and understanding. Reading history also enhances one’s critical thinking skills. History is important because it allows us to understand our past, which in turn allows us to understand our present. If we want to know how and why our world is the way it is today, we have to look to history for answers. It takes us closer to happenings and events in the past we can know about and learn how things have changed ever since, and who were the figures and personalities that helped change the scenario.

It also helps to grow our confidence level as it prepares you for interesting conversations. It helps extend the boundaries of conversation beyond your core areas of interest. Current affairs form an important and inevitable part of our lives. All the actions that have taken place and the important decisions made around us get recorded in the current affairs. General knowledge cannot be attained overnight and is a long and steady process.
