The survey link was sent to the student respondents via social media (WhatsApp, Emails, Messenger, and so on). These students were from Jeddah University, King Abdelaziz University, and King Saud University. Their ages ranged from 17 to 50 years. The results of this study reveal a strong, positive and significant correlation of studying history with political awareness and cultural awareness as well.
