National culture or global culture ?
There are two mainstream views towards on whether or not we should study the classical literature and important events in history of our own countries first. I agree that we should study ourselves own culture and history first, and then we get a better understanding both national and global of literature and history when we study the global literature and history.
Learning our own countries culture will help make contribution to form a sense of national identity. It is greatly important when we communicate with the different countries friends, "who we are" will be a significant problem. Secondly, we will proud of the wisdom of our own culture and pity for the misery of our own history, then we have sympathy for other countries and nations.

National culture or global culture ?
There are two mainstream views towards on whether or not we should study the classical literature and important events in history of our own countries first, and then study the literature and history of other countries*. I agree that we should study ourselves own culture and history first, and then we get a better understanding both national and global of literature and history when we study the global literature and history.**Learning about our own countries country's*** culture will help us to make contributions to form a sense of national identity. It is greatly extremely**** important when we communicate with the our friends from different countries friends, "who we are" will be a significant problem.***** Secondly, we will proud of if we can have pride in the wisdom of our own culture and pity for the misery feel regret of for the shortcomings of our own history, then we can have sympathy a greater appreciation for other countries and nations.******
* To make the question more clear, I added the alternative view. In other words, instead of asking "Whether or not [A]" is it more clear to ask "Whether [A] or [B]."
** This is a great question, and you present it very clearly.
*** "countries" is the plural of 国家 (各国). "Country's" (adding the possessive 's to country) is 国家的.
**** "Extremely" is more natural than "greatly."
***** "will be a significant problem" - I'm not sure what you mean here. Are you saying: "If I don't know the culture and history of my own country, then I will be less able to communicate with my friends from other countries"?
****** Wow. Your ideas are very advanced and complex. If I understand, your meaning is "IF I can be BOTH proud of the great things of my culture AND understanding of the areas where my nation could have been better, THEN I can have a deeper understanding of the successes and failures of other nations."
