It might seem
obvious that teaching learning science
and technology in high school is more important than learning history and art
because of the emergence of the internet in contemporary era. Although rewards
for being expertise in certain fields can be justified, we should not overlook
the advantages acquired from learning of
history and art.
Some people say
that studying science and technology is even more valuable. This is because we
are living a transition of information society than
ever before and so people should be open to learning to new
informative classes. However, education should not be biased because
children should be exposed to various academic expertise faculties to prepare to be a well behaved ordinary
student as a whole. (다양한 분야를 공부해야 얌전하고 평범한 학생이 될 수 있다, 라는
표현은 조금 아쉽습니다.) In addition, these two subjects are more likely to
draw our children into a virtual life in which they cannot feel emotional
senses such as sympathy, intimacy, and humanity. Therefore, teenagers are more
likely to be isolated from their peer ground. (너무 근거가 없는 주장입니다.)
It is clear that
there are the number of benefits of teaching learning history and art. First of all, history and
art help young people understand their own culture and how their
culture and country have evolved, giving people a sense of roots and
belonging. Furthermore, art is an expression of the phases of the time.
Many museums, for example, display processes of different collection of artists
who can describe their emotions and inspiration about a certain period
time throughout their work. Besides, valuable information can often be
found in history and art, such as traditional medicines and different
lifestyles. Learning about past lifestyle and techniques used by people in the
past might broaden our horizon in our lives.
For these reasons
mentioned above, I absolutely do not agree with
the opinion that teachers need to more focus more
on teaching science and technology to students in middle and high
schools. However, we should place more value on learning history and
art so that we are less likely to repeat the tradigies tragedies that have happened in the past and more likely to keep up the wisdom of lifestyle.
