▶ Your Answer :
Opinions might be divided whether university
students should take one culture class that teaches different characteristics from
their own one. Personally, I believe culture class explaining different
cultural things should be required for students, and there are two reasons that
could validate my position in the personal and social point of view.
The first reason that I would like to make is
that, in the personal point of view, students who have been taking other culture
class are able to understand people from different culture. If one person take
a class that explains other culture, that person can have knowledge of other
culture that is different from one’s one. It leads students to be willing to
communicate with others and understand them. According to the study by Seoul
National University, students who have taken culture class have better
understanding of other cultures, which means they do not have any prejudice.
Moreover, they are willing to help and communicate with people from other
cultures. Therefore, it is clear that cultural education makes student understand
others and be better person eventually.
Secondly, in the social point of view,
cultural class can be a liberal education, which is famous educational theme
all over the world these days. Liberal education means that students can focus
their interests not only on their cultural issues but also on issues happening
all over the world. These changed interests help students to pay more attention
to political issues. After all, these surely can make a better world. For these
reasons, most of the universities in South Korea have to provide a variety of
culture class for university students. In addition, these courses tend to be
mandatory for all of the university students since their freshmen, according to
the report from Ministry of Education in Korea.
All in all, because of the reasons mentioned
above, I firmly believe that all university students should be required to take
at least one class that introduces other cultures. (326) 첨삭해 주셔서 감사합니다. 새해 복 많이 받으세요 : ) |
