▶ Your Answer : There might be some people who believe that students don’t need to learn basic economics in high school. However I personally disagree with the above idea for two subsequent reasons. There are personal and social aspects.
First, it’s essential to know basic economics in person’s life. To be specific, people must have to know about basic economical concept such as market, tax and account. It’s because we lives in capitalism. At least, the concepts related to market play a significant role in personal wealth. Let me bring up supposition to explain my assert. There is a person who doesn’t know any concepts about economics. He cannot understand how market is formed and moves. Also he even doesn’t know what price it’s appropriate. Therefore he usually buys things so incredibly expensive. If he had haven appreciation about basic economic concepts, he couldn’t have buy it that price.
Second, there are good advantages in social economy when members of society learn about basic economics. What this means is that it can prevent to form wrong price in market. Then it also can help economic growth, because economic corruption was hindered by citizen having basic economic idea. In addition, according to recent research done by SNU, a society that people have high level of understanding about economics has great economic status. While the other society isn’t interested in education of economics has low economic status. This clearly shows that education of economics helps society to make better economic environment. In conclusion, learning basic economics can help not only personal’s property management, but also social economic growth. In this regard, I personally believe that all high school students should learn basic economics. |
