Today, anyone can succeed if they have one good skill. Therefore, it is often said that people can only do a few things. However, I do not think so because there are some persons among people who have succeeded in life. Those have learned various things and gotten the balanced education.
First of all, modern people try to learn many different things to get ahead. This society is gradually changing to a competitive environment. So, in this world, people have to be knowledgeable in many fields. It is important to keep up with other people. For example, a lot of people who has a job take time out of their busy schedule to go to the academies or schools to study about other areas. They will become skillful at others. Some people say that they are too busy to take lessons in different things. But I think that it is simply an excuse because they do not just try harder. Although company requires specialists, we need to do variety of works to survive in nowadays.
On top of that, most people have gotten well-rounded education. Students are required to take various classes in school. Let’s take my experience for instance. When I was in high school, I choose the science. So I had to study hard about math, science. But I should take not only those but music, history, home economics and art etc. Art was not required for me, but I was interested in it. In spite of unnecessary subject, I was doing it well and got a good grade. After I entered college, art was useful. Because I had a wide chance to choose a job. My major is engineering, but my art skill opened the way for me to work in industry design. This is a result which comes from the balanced education.
To sum up, people can many things because of learning and well-rounded education. This society makes them pick up their ability. All things considered, I disagree with the statement that people cannot do various things today. |
