▶ Your Answer Some people think that it is not necessary to learn basic economics for all high students. However in my opinion, high school students are educated basic economics. There two reasons; First, through education about basic economics, they can have much money later. Second, today, students should know diverse knowledge for living. First of all, people can have much property when they learn about economics. In this materialistic society, money is sometimes regarded as one`s power. If one have no money, they is considered as a loser and be ignored. They don`t have no space to stand in this society. In other words, money is so important at present and knowing about economics helps one earn money. For example, there was a poll conducted by the board of business, with CEO as respondents. The purpose of the survey was to understand the consensus about correlation between economic education and earn`s bulk in today`s society. The majority of respondents ranked learing about education over being not learning about it. An overwhelming 80% responded that when people are young, they should learn about economics basically. The reason was that knowing about economics helps one work related to business. This survey proves that people should know economics. Second, today one should know diverse areas. when it comes to knowledge, it is required for people to have a wide variety of knowledge rather than deep knowledge of one specific field. A person with sufficient knowledge is regarded as 'a person of intellect' in this world, while others who lack knowledge are simply ignnored. Especially, in the complicated society at present, one should know besides one`s own specific field. My friend is a good example. My friend is a engineer. When he was high school, he didn`t learn about economics since he didn`t have to take a lecture about economics. After he graduated the university, he started his business. However, he doesn`t know about management and even basic economics principal. So he bankrupt because of financial burden. Therefore, regrdless of one`s major, one should know about economics. To sum up, there are two reasons that earning money and the importance of economic`s knowledge. Therefore, I firmly hold that people should learn about economics when the are in high school. : |
