#people #history #school #todays #world #subjects #science #technology
Nowadays, there have been ongoing debates on whether the
history
 subject is more important or the
science
 and
technology
 during the school time. It is important to admit that both views have their own
benefits
.
This
 essay will discuss the possible reasons that support each view, and what
benefits
 they bring to the whole society followed by my personal viewpoint on the same. Examining the former opinion, the primary argument the supporters would put forward is knowledge of
history
 is a must for the student, which has its
benefits
 for many convincing reasons. Most importantly, children will always be aware of the great achievement of our previous leaders like Mahatma Gandhi's role during the freedom movement of India against Britishers and A P J Abdul Kalam's contribution in the development of ballistic missile.
On the other hand
, despite the above arguments, other people choose to believe that scientific and techie subjects are more helpful than
history
. The reason behind is,
science
 and
technology
 are more like practical subject and one can apply that knowledge well to develop their career in future.
For instance
, if a student is aware of basic programming languages from school time
then
 he\she can easily work on any application development using any software
technology
 and can build efficient code. In conclusion, while many people vary their view about
history
 versus
science
 and
technology
 subjects, I believe that students must focus more on practical or scientific or technical subjects which helps them to implement the same in future
however
history
 is something just a theoretical thing.
Thus
, I must say the
benefits
 of
science
 and
technology
 outweigh the advantages of
history
.
