Whether or not universities should spend more money on improving socializing skills than academic works raises many questions. Some people say that universities should arrange their money focusing on socializing skills education, but I disagree with their opinion. Universities have to spend more money on academic field rather than improving socializing skills. There are two reasons supporting my idea; to achieve the main purpose of university, and not to waste its finance on university people who are already good at socializing.
First of all, Universities should not spend more money on bettering socializing skills because the ultimate goal of university is to study and research. Of course it makes sense that the skill of well-socializing is important in modern days when all people should cooperate and work together, but it does not mean that university should spend "more" money to keep up with that trend. University studetns and professors are in school because they want to be educated and educate and to keep going on more elaborated studies than they have learned before. Furthermore, people are saying that liberal arts are getting fallen becuase of lack of attention, money. In other words, universities should spend their money on studies which is getting weaker to fulfill their prior goal; academic works. In addition, it is not neccessary to spend "more" money for improving socializing skills because people in universities are alredy good at communicating. Students, professors, and faculties are already proved when it comes to socialize and work together by their interview and their previous education records. University people are usually highly educated which means they are socially succeed at some degree. Of course for those who have trouble with socializing, university can arrange some of their money for them but the ratio of those people are pretty low so that universities donot have to spend "more" money than academic works for small number of people.
In conclusion, universities should not spend "more" money for university people to be good at socializing because it doesnot match with their ultimate academic goal which should be persued more than anything, and because the need of socializing education can be hardly found among people in universities. |
