▶ Your Answer : Some people
think that high school students do not have to learn basic economics at school.
Since there are still lots of things to do for students. However, in my
opinion, it is better to learn basic economics than just learning main
subjects. There are two reasons. First, having a wide range of knowledge is
better than having a deep knowledge in one subject. Second, it will be really practical.To begin with, it
is required for people to have a wide variety of knowledge rather than deep
knowledge in one specific field. A person with a great amount of knowledge is
regarded as ‘a person of intelligence’ in this world. On the other hand a
person who has no interest and knowledge in various fields might be simply
ignored. For example, there was an study for a people’s preference between a
person who have a numerous knowledge or a person who have only major knowledge.
The experiment was held in a blocked room, so that the participants cannot see
the appearance of two people. All the other requirements were same except the
knowledge. The result shows that about 85% of the participants thought the
person who have more interest in broad range of knowledge is more intelligent than
the other person.
On top of that, basic
economics has a lot of relationship in our daily lives. / Basic economics is practical
to live in this world. To be specific, people can understand the events occurring
around them, also they can get some useful information while living their life.
For instance, last year I was planning to abroad for a trip. When I was trying
to change the money, the exchange rate was really high. I was surprised at the exchange
rate, and I had to change the plan for my trip expenses. Also, I found about
why this 현상 happened. The cause of the rise of exchange
rate was the depression of our country. If I had knew it in advance I could have
took another measure. Learning economics will be more helpful when I start to
earn money.
To sum up, knowing
a wide range of field is important. Moreover, learning basic economics is
practical for our everyday living. In this regard, I firmly believe that
learning basic economics is necessary for the reasons I mentioned above. |
