It is of great worth to discuss whether all
university students should be required to take history courses no matter what
their field of study is. The answer to this question varies depending on individual’s
perspective. However, as far as I am concerned, I believe all university students
should not always be required to take history courses no matter what their
field of study is.
To
begin with, learning history in college is a waste of time for some students.
College is a competitive environment where people compete to get better grade
in their field of study. To win in such competition and graduate the school by
completing required credits on subjects related with their own major, they need
to spend more time on subjects related with their own major, not on subjects irrelevant
to their own major. The case of my friend Cassie is an epitome of this. Cassie
is studying in Biology department and looks forward to graduate the department.
To graduate her school, she need needs to gain at least 200 credits on her subjects related
with biology major. In such requirement, she does not have much time to hear
other subjects. Instead, she spends about 18 hours a day studying solely on
subjects relevant to her major. Thus, in this schedule, she cannot afford more
time to study history in school.
Another notable reason for my opinion is that
most college students already have enough background knowledge in history. To
be more specific, in most countries, history is a mandatory education subject
in high school since the governments want the students to broaden their
perspective on history. Therefore, before going to college, they learn about
many historical events that helped the formation of their country and know much
about what happened in the past. Thus, they do not need to learn such historical
events again in the college since they already learned history in school. The
case of my friend Parker is a concrete example of this. Parker is majoring in archaeology.
However, he took various history classes in his high school as a mandatory
requirement. Since he spent much time even in history subjects to raise his
grade in high school, he still remembers much about what had happened in the past.
With such extensive knowledge, even though he is not a history major and did
not read any history sources after graduating high school, he has no problem
working as a part-time history teacher in a private school, proving that he
does not need to take any more history courses to have sufficient knowledge on
history.
To
summarize what I had mentioned above, all college students should not always be
required to take history courses no matter what their field of study is since
learning the subject is a waste of time for much students and they already have
enough knowledge about history. Therefore, among many possible reasons, the
following two mentioned above are the most compelling.
