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 views and give your opinion

Traditionally,

history

is a subject that has always been considered crucial for the development of society.

However

, some individuals have been claiming that

history

classes are not more relevant than other areas of

study

such

as the ones that involve science and technology. I tend to agree with that the topics in science and technology are more impactful to the evolution of contemporary society than

history

, even though I believe that it is indisputable that

history

remains important. On the one hand, the world has changed and nowadays the formation of professionals that are specialized in environment, energy resources, human health and other areas of

study

is utterly prioritized. Whilst our past generations were worried about understanding basic concepts in health problems, researchers of

this

century are focused on the cure in diseases

such

as cancer.

In other words

, the standards have risen and for that reason, many people affirm that are preferable to focus in areas of

study

that are constantly renewable.

On the other hand

, look back in the past is essential to be able to understand situations in the present. In

this

regard, people of

this

generation are capable of understanding that military intervention is not a viable solution of matters

such

as violence because it is well-known that the negative consequences are not worthy.

This

is possible because we have studied what society has gone through the past and learn with previous mistakes. Take Germany as an example. A long time ago, it was the starter point of worldwide war and now is considered one of the best places to live.

Therefore

, their governance understood through

history

how to reach proper solutions. As far as I am concerned, despite the importance of

study

historical movements and conquers, we are far more concerned about the development of cutting-edge technology and gadgets and the acknowledgement on scientific subjects. The amount of resources being used that are not renewable in the environment is an increasing concern for the maintenance of mankind and for that reasons, the more scientists involved in

this

cause and others

likewise

the cure of chronic diseases the better. To conclude, there must be a balanced timetable in primary and secondary schools so that children will be able to receive the content of both subjects.

However

, in the reality that we face nowadays, it is more clever to focus on subjects that may be used in a wider proportion in a short-term.
