some people say history is one of the most important schools subjects. Other people think, in today's world, subjects like science and technology are more important than history. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
One of the vital schools subject according opinion of some people is history. However, others tend to assume science and technology are playing more crucial roles than history. I believe that both history, science and technology have similar parts in educational matters. It was caused by history becoming our media to know about the journey that happened in the past and to raise our nationalism. Besides, we have to learn about science and technology in order to get a detailed understanding of history and to learn about history learning becomes more interesting.
