▶ Your Answer :
Undoubtedly, abundant knowledge plays a significant
role in people’s daily lives in many of the places where they work or study.
Some people think that high schools or universities do not have to teach
general subjects for students whereas others do not. Both sides may have their
own reasons to support their point. As far as I am concerned, I would say that
they would be better to teach students those. The one idea stated below can be
evidence to support my view.
To begin with, if students learn a wide range of
subjects, they would have higher posibility to succeed in the future. Modern
society admittedly requires people who have diverse knowledge rather than deep knowledge
of one specific field. A person with sufficient knowledge is regarded as ‘a
person of intellect’, while others who lack knowledge simply ignored. Therefore,
if students learn a lot of subjects such as economy, history and statistics,
they can be a person society wants. I will take my personal experience as an
example. I used to concentrate only on my major, computer engineering while my
sister tended to lead books of a variety of fields and had an attention to different
countries’ economic or political situations. When I got a job openings, I
always dropped at the final interview. However, my sister always passed every company
applying. I found that interviewers usually asked me about major knowledge,
including different field’s basic knowledge so I decided to enhance my fundamental
knowledge of diverse area and background. Before long, I was accepted by IT
consulting company. This experience indicates that my perspective is somewhat
right.
In this regard, I believe my explanation sufficiently
proves the advantages of taking general subjects. Hence, in order for people to
achieve their promising future, the schools must keep going teaching general
subjects. |
