These days, in entire industry, history and literature are likely to be judged the important subjects. Unlike these subjects, mathematics and science is not considered the principal subjects. This trend is why the history and literature give people much useful information such as customs and international relationships. The useful information is applied for overcoming trials or the situation which we should choose one between two. However, in my point of view, I think that mathematics and science are also essential subjects which are the same as history and literature.
First of all, the dazzling technology development is driven from the science and mathematics. Let’s see some empirical perspectives. The smart phone which is changed dramatically the human’s life has developed step by step from telegraph. The main factor of the advent of smart phone is the knowledge about the science and mathematics. Without the knowledge, we cannot get much information anytime and anywhere. Another example is the medical technology area. 100 years ago, people readily died from slight illness because human’s immunity system is not powerful to overcome any disease and the medical science is not developed to cure it. However, the science and mathematical development have induced the growth of the medical equipments and medical applications. Therefore, many diseases are cured completely.
In addition, unlike common view which is considered that student should just study history, mathematics is necessary to analyze the historical factors because sometimes the past information is approached the base on the statistics. Stock market and economy is good examples. Economy prominent study the past trend based on the statistical approach. Through this trend, the future stream is precisely estimated. In this view, we are able to confirm that mathematical knowledge is also useful to study the historical trace.
In brief, history and literature is apt to be considered the significant subject better than science and mathematics. However, when the development of the modern science technology and the application for analyzing the historical factors are considered, science and mathematics should also be thought the significant subjects. Therefore, I firmly believe that students should study science and mathematics like history and literature. |
