Some people think that all children should learn geography in school. However…some others think that it is more important to learn subjects that are more relevant to life. What is your opinion?
With constant modifications in school curriculum and constant changes in society the question of whether to maintain or drop geopolitics is an interesting topic. I believe there would be severe consequences if geography were to disappear, mainly due to the understanding and open-mindedness
that is
derived from Linking Words
such
studies.
Linking Words
Firstly
, with ever more complex geopolitical strategies being played out, it can be considered extremely valuable to have the ability to identify the location of these events without checking on a map. Religious and border conflicts are amongst the most common sources of news, events, and a lack of knowledge as to where these events are being played out can be considered ignorant. Linking Words
For example
, areas Linking Words
such
as the Middle East are constantly in the news. Linking Words
Therefore
, by being merely aware of their location in the world, readers or viewers can greatly increase their understanding of the conflict.

Secondly
, making topography compulsory in the schools would most likely encourage students to travel later in life. Linking Words
This
is because earth science can bring to light options you may not have known existed previously. Linking Words
For example
, historically England has been the top destination to learn English. Linking Words
However
, in recent times students have learned about more economical options Linking Words
such
as Malta or Ireland. Linking Words
Therefore
, without a sound geographical knowledge of Europe, these options could have been overlooked.
To conclude, removing geography from the school curricula would reduce a student’s ability to fully assimilate global events in the media. Linking Words
Furthermore
, removing the subject could indirectly reduce the amount of perceived options available to students.Linking Words
