Some people say history is one 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.

These days in schools, students have a range of subjects like

science

,

technology

and

history

. While some people consider

history

to be one of the major subjects, others think

science

and

technology

are far more important. There are valid views on both sides, which I will discuss now. On the one hand,

history

is a very useful subject. Students get the opportunity to find out about past events that have occurred in their country and in the

world

.

For example

, they can learn about

World

War 1 and 2 and about the attack on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. These might help the children to better understand the

world

they live in today and why certain things are the way they are

such

as the

history

behind the remarkable statue of liberty.

Moreover

, parts of

history

still form the present.

For instance

, the impressive pyramids still stand proudly in Egypt and archaeologists are continuously doing research to dig deeper into the life of Pharaohs to understand how they lived and what happened to their population. Indeed,

history

is very interesting.

On the other hand

, in

this

ever-growing society where technological inventions are in the limelight, teaching students about

this

subject would be wise. Since these children are the future of

this

world

, it’s important that they already have basic understandings of

technology

. The latter is present everywhere, from the genetically modified food we eat to the aeroplanes in which we travel to visit another country.

Furthermore

,

science

in these times is of utmost importance. To illustrate

this

, it takes

science

to understand global warming and its effects, and to comprehend the spread of Coronavirus which is currently a

world

health threat.

Therefore

,

science

and

technology

are major subjects. In conclusion, I personally think that even though

history

is valuable, it is not as significant a subject as

science

and

technology

. Indeed, the students of today could be the scientists of tomorrow if given appropriate exposure to the related subjects, so that they can decide to pursue a career in these fields.
