Some people say History is one of the most important school subjects. Other people think that in today's world subjects like science Science and technology are more important than History. Discuss both the views and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant example from your own knowledge or experience.

History

is considered one of the most important subjects, that can be taught to students in a school based on the opinion of a small fraction of people. But

however

, focus on subjects like Science and technology should be more rather than on what had already happened in the past; is the argument of other people. Each view has its own merits and let's see each of them separately. Learning

History

gives us some perspective about the way of life of people in different time periods.

Furthermore

, knowledge obtained from the

History

, enable us from repeating the mistakes of our ancestors and helps us move forward.

For example

, having a glance at the

history

about world wars 1 and 2 during the years 1914-18 and 1939-45 respectively, got people thinking how catastrophic they can be. The death toll was on an unimaginable scale, leaving corpses and destruction in its wake. All

this

massacre and genocide made everyone feel scared and helpless in the face of

such

adversity which led to the formation of a peace treaty among nations and each is striving hard to prevent

such

calamity from ever happening again. By incorporating

history

into the school curriculum helps in motivating young minds to stray away from the path of violence. We are literally living in the golden age of Science and technological advancement. Undoubtedly, resources are being pooled into the REASEARCH and DEVELOPMENT departments, by the Governments and companies creating lots of job opportunities. In order to compete and succeed in the world, children must be well taught in the necessary areas so that, they are well equipped for their future. So, the primary concern of both the parents and schools is to offer most of the affordable time in teaching about Science and technology to enhance their capabilities.

For example

, Data analysts are being recruited by the software companies, which are among one of the highly paid jobs all over the world and it seems rational on focusing teaching efforts to that end rather than teaching about some long forgotten rulers. In conclusion, both views have their own merits.

History

lets' us learn from the mistakes of the past, while, focusing on sciences increases chances of having a successful career. In my opinion, balance between both the subjects can prove much more effective

instead

of, concentrating on just the one.
