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.

As we all are living in the most advanced technological era all the aspects of our day to day

life

are influenced by

science

and

technology

. A section of the society is of the opinion that

history

is considered as one of the prominent

subjects

in school curriculum whereas few people believe that in present era

subjects

such

as

Science

and

Technology

are significant than the former. From my perspective, both

subjects

are equally important which will be discussed in the following paragraphs. The

first

and the foremost reason for

history

to be considered as important is that it depicts the cultural values and traditions followed by our ancestors.

Secondly

, the historical stories convey messages to the new generations and teach them the mistakes which they had made in the past should not be repeated.

Moreover

, it

also

provides the approach with which we should live our

life

in hardships.

For instance

, India's eminent freedom fighter Mahatma Gandhi adopted ‘Non-violence’ while fighting for freedom against British governance and to eradicate racism. So in order to view our

life

in a positive way

history

provides enormous examples.

On the other hand

,

science

and

technology

have a great influence on humankind by making things way easier compared to the past. Electronic gadgets like smartphones, laptop computers and other home appliances play a vital role in people's lives by providing them easy access like with only a touch of a finger we can order anything online and

also

make any banking transaction without wasting our time to personally visit the bank.

In addition

to

this

, people can communicate with their near and dear ones in a fraction of seconds by voice call on a video call. In

this

way,

technology

has overcome geographical barriers.

Furthermore

,

science

and

technology

have aided in creating job opportunities at the national and global level on a large scale. In conclusion, I am of the opinion that ,

although

history

gives us the chance to look into the past and learn something new,

science

and

technology

eases our

life

by providing numerous electronic devices. So both

subjects

are equally important in the academic curriculum.
