Some people advocate that History is the most crucial subject than others. On the other hand, there are people who opine that subjects such as Science or Technology are more important to live in modern society. Although there are pros and cons to sustain History as main subject, I believe it is not compulsory to learn History in today’s world.
Of course, History is as important as other subjects when it comes to dealing with global issues. Historical knowledge is able to applied to solutions for living the modern society. For instance, there are many circumstances in companies or governments of many countries need negotiation concerning global issues. In this situation, considering relations among nations is the most important and it stems from understanding history. Without knowing history such as colonization or slavery, it will be hard to solve related issues in not only the governments but also worldwide organizations.
However, even though history is such an important subject, I firmly believe that other subjects like Technology or Science need to precede History. In can be useful for some countries, but there is a common issue for all around the world, the “environment”. Nature problems cannot be solved without development and investigations of Science and Technology. To make eco-friendly atmosphere and environment, there are huge studies are conducted in the Science department. For example, scientists are struggling with worldwide problems such as global warming caused by carbon emissions in the atmosphere. Thanks to scientific studies, the Earth can be protected now and in the future.
In conclusion, even if History is important to resolve troubles among nations, subjects related to modern society are more beneficial to solve worldwide issues.
