Some people say History is one of the most important school subjects. Other people think that, in today's world, subjects like Science and Technology are more important than History. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

To learn the past and present,

History

and

Science

and Technology have become

two

to a degree exceeding normal or proper limits

too

critical courses at

school

. It has become a controversial topic to regard which one is the most important among the

school

subjects. In

this

essay, I would like to outline both views.

To begin

with,

History

is regarded important for it lays the foundation for the development of

human being

Suggestion

human beings

the human being

.

First

of all,

history

can help us avoid making mistakes.

For

example

, in the Song Dynasty, the emperor valued literary talent above martial arts.

Therefore

, though literacy has been greatly improved and few instances of usurpation of power occurred during the time, the military development is greatly limited.

As a result

, during the 300 years of its establishment, foreign nations kept attacking the

country but

country, but

hardly can the Song army hit back and eventually the dynasty overthrow. Having learned the lesson, our country nowadays put an emphasis on improving military power while keeping a balance to construct internal affairs. What’s more, the

culture

handed down from generation to generation has already become the symbol of Chinese spirit. Spreading traditional Chinese

culture

to other countries contributes to the enhancement of friendship.

For

example

, Confucius is one of the great sages in ancient China. His wisdom and

culture

deeply influences every Chinese people and is regarded as a symbol of

Chinese nation

Suggestion

the Chinese nation

.

As a result

, Confucius Institutes are established all over the world, serving as a place to spread Chinese language and

culture

,

also

strengthening the relationship among countries. On the other side, learning

Science

and Technology brings us a lot of benefits. It can improve our present and

future

lives. As for now, we can make our lives more efficient and convenient through using what is learned in the subject.

For

example

, when we want

make

to make

a cup of sweet water, we would know to heat the water

first

first, then

then

to put the sugar, since we have learned in the

science

class

that higher temperature helps

sugar

Suggestion

the sugar

dissolve faster. For the

future

, we are better equipped with the knowledge

that is

required for the

future

innovation.

For instance

, one of the tasks students are ordered to do in

Science

and Technology

class

is making a smart robot that can run on its own.

This

requires a combination of knowledge of program designing, circuit arrangement, and Mechanics, enabling an improvement made in students’ comprehensive practical ability. At the same time, it cultivated students’ potential to make innovation in

science

and technology on their own, like making new types of new energy vehicle, in the

future

.

However

, from my point of view, compared to

History

,

Science

and Technology is still more beneficial for our present and

future

life. Take the invention of electric light as an

example

.

History

books can tell us that Edison created the bulb, but only through the

Science

and Technology classes can we realize how the bulbs are made.

As a result

, it is made possible for students to create

more environmental

Suggestion

more environmentally

friendly and energy saving bulbs on their own. What we can learn from

school

history

course are more of the great events that promote the development of human civilization. We can learn the historical facts, but very little can we know mechanism of them. As

science

and technology develop rapidly today,

school

History

courses are preparing us less directly and effectively for taking pioneers’ turn to make technological innovation for all human

being

Suggestion

beings

. All in all,

although

I think

science

and technology course is more important than

history

class

, but in the trend of an increasing need for all rounded talents, we cannot completely ignore the

history

class

. Only having an understanding of the present and past, can we make greater contribution to all mankind.
