▶ Your Answer :Surely, knowledge of science plays a significant role in people's lives in many of places where they work and play. Some people think that all university students' should take basic science courses even if they don't have plans to work in the field of science, while others do not. Both sides have their own reasons to support their own idea. If I had to choose one, I would say that requiring all university students to take part in basic science courses. There are several reasons as follows. To begin with, when students are required to take basic science classes, it can contribute to broaden students' range of knowledge. This gives them to improve their knowledge and skills that may not be related to their individual majors. Taking basic science course even if a student does not major in science tends to expand the students' knowledge. For example, when my young sister was in high school, she often felt depressed, thinking that her life became an exhausting routine. To survive a competitive society, she spent the whole day studying all academic subjects. However, she has changed little by little after he participated in modern science technology conference. She realized that almost every items that she uses everyday are related to lately advanced scientific technologies. Even though she was specialized in literature, which she thought had no connection with science, the conference provided her chances to keep up with modern society runs on scientific knowledge. Thank to this experience, she was willing to take another courses which seemed not related to her major, such as vocal class, social science, and physical education, hoping that she could broaden her knowledge. Without this experience, she would have never select classes based on other majors. In addition, when taking basic science course, it help students cultivate important qualities needed to success. As modern society' dependence on highly advanced scientific technologies increases, the society requires people who acquired basic principles of developed technologies. When students master the basic knowledge, they are likely to bring a better result in their lives. For example, since I was in elementary school, I have been never interested in science. I did poorly in science classes. I got easily distracted, procrastinated, and acted on impulse, while in other classes, I used to be acclaimed by many teachers as a student who was well focus on the classes. However, after taking IT technology course as my elective in university, I has changed little by little. I realized that the technologies has been advanced dramatically and this will happen continuously. She also found out modern society is focusing on various items based on the technologies such as intelligent robots. Therefore, to keep up with her society, she manage to actively participate in the class. As a result, she mastered the basic level of the IT science course. She was able to appeal this knowledge in her job interview, and thus she got a job. If she had been only payed attention to classes which she loved, she would have fallen behind and not been able to gain the job. All things considered, I strongly believe that the advantage of taking basic science course far overweigh that of not taking the course. All in all, the importance of participating in the course can not be overestimated in success. |
