▶ Your Answer : Some
people may think that learning basic economics for high school student is not
necessary because it does not seem that important. However, in my opinion, it
is better for all high school students to learn basic economics. This is mainly
due to the fact that all kind of knowledge is important, and economics is
helpful making money. First
of all, it is helpful in their life to have a variety of knowledge. It does not
matter what kind of knowledge you have in your mind, but how much knowledge you
have. It is required for people to have a wide range of knowledge rather than
deep knowledge of one specific field. A person with sufficient knowledge is
regarded as ‘a person of intelligence’ in this world, while others who lack
knowledge are simply ignored.
For
example, when I was in high school, I usually chatted with my friends to
relieve my stress from academic pressure. One day, as I and my friends talked as
usual, one of my friends started to talk about something related to politics.
By that moment, I did not have any background knowledge about political
situations of my country because I regarded those issues as nothing. However,
my friends participated in the debate enthusiastically, and they questioned to
me that why I stay quiet. I told them frankly that I had no words to say
because I did not know much about this topic, and one of my friends got to
neglect me. Also, I excluded the chatting until the topic became changed, but
this experience really hurt me.
Another
reason is that you can make a lot of money by using the economic knowledge that
you already knew. Today’s society is capitalized, and ought to this fact, it is
important to gain knowledge of basic economics. If you attain economic
background knowledge, you will be able to get more information related to money
currents. As a result, this information will give you a path to success and
wealth.
For
instance, I had a private tutor when I was high school student for math subject.
In that time, bitcoin was not famous as it is nowadays, but my tutor already
knew it. Moreover, she was aware of it and also she predicted that it would be
a lucrative thing in the future. She was able to know it through the economic
knowledge and information, and what made it possible for her to predict the
bitcoin’s future was her background knowledge of economics. She told me that I
should buy some of it if I had money and she also bought some of it for her.
When the price of bitcoin jumped, she resold it and got a lot of money. In the
end, she quit all part-time jobs and gone to Paris that she wanted to visit. For these reason, it is better to learn basic economics. |
