▶ Your Answer :Some people think that all high school students do not have to learn basic economics. However, in my opinion, when all the high school students learn the basic economics, there will be a lot of advantages. There are two reasons: First, nowadays learning economic theories will help you get wide range of knowledge. Second, Learning basic economics will help your understandings of many social problems. To begin with, It is pivotal to learn economics since it contribute to having a wide scope of knowledge. To be specific, it is required for people to have wide variety of knowledge rather than deep knowledge of one specific field. A person with sufficient knowldege is regarded as 'a person of intellect' in this world, while others who lack knowledge are simply ignored. When I was in college, I knew a lot in the area of my major, psychology. But I did not know many things in other region since I did not have many interests in them. However, my sister knew many other things including social problems, philosophy, economic, and so on. When we were senior, we had job interviews respectively and she always got good results by appealing that she has a lot of knowledge in the interview. However, I always got failed at the end since I did not know what to answer to their quesitions. Eventhough I had known many in my area, it did not help. So, by learning basic economics, it will help you to get further knowledge which will contribute more to success. On the top of that, economic is a basic area in our society and its impact is all over around the world. In the society that we are living in, respective area of the world has a mutual relationship with each other. So If you do not know well in one area, than the other area could not be fully understood. There was a survey conducted by the Board of Education with many professors as respondents. The purpose of the survey was to understand the view about learning other areas rather than one's major. The majority of the professors replied that also studying other areas is pivotal to survive in this world of endless competitions. The reason was mainly concerned with the mutual relations in many region of knowledge. Thus, this survey proves that learning basic economic can be also important to comprehend the whole mechanisms in our world. To sum up, knowing the basic economic principle will help you get broad knowledge and it can help one's ability to think fluently over different area in many area of knowledge. In this regard, I firmly hold that all high school students should learn basic economics.
