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.

People’s opinions differ as to whether subjects like
History
should be taught at school, or only focusing on important subjects
such
as Science and Technology. I tend to agree with that Science and Technology are important for students, but I would
also
argue that it is more beneficial for students if they
study
History
. There are a variety of reasons why people argue that Science and Technology are more important than
History
.
Firstly
, graduated with the degree of Science and Technology can have access to better and more job opportunities, including higher salaries and better career progression.
Secondly
, In Taiwan,
for example
, we are currently occurring a shortage of IT experts,
therefore
, parents will encourage their children to specialize in
this
particular field to
study
.
Finally
, both Science and Technology influence our daily life, it has become a global trend that students across the world choose
this
subject as their major. Opponents who do not agree with the arguments mentioned above, they think that
History
is
also
an important subject because it makes people get to know more about the ancient time.
For instance
, what caused the Industrial Revolution happened, and where has it taken place, how has it changed human life for the past few centuries.
Furthermore
, if the vast majority of young people
study
in Science and Technology
instead
of
History
, it might have detrimental effects on our society and job market. I believe that we should encourage teenagers to
study
in a more comprehensive way. In conclusion, it seems sensible that only focusing on learning Science and Technology,
however I
Accept comma addition
however, I
believe that teenagers will gain more knowledge if they
study
History
at school.
