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 then history. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
In
this
modern era, there is a contentious argument whether History is one of the main subjects
in the school curriculum or subjects
like Science
and Technology
are more vital in today's world. This
essay will discuss both stand-points along with my own opinion in succeeding paragraphs.
On one hand, it is no doubt that learning history can be beneficial in many ways. One major benefit is that building knowledge and understanding of historical events and problems enable us to develop much greater methodologies to solve the problems that we are facing today. For example
, in 1922, Henry Ford, the founder of Ford Motor Company, adopted a so-called "producer-driven" strategy by only producing and selling black cars to the customers and made consumers with no choice regarding the colour of the car. This
marketing strategy was proven as a complete failure. Many company owners and marketing specialists have learned from Ford's mistake. Since then
, no company has adopted such
a producer-driven strategy anymore. This
example indicates that studying history enables us to develop a better understanding of the world and teach us how to make the right decision.
However
, the importance of Science
and Technology
is undoubtedly increasing, especially in our modern society. Firstly
, learning science
and technology
is likely to improve a person's competitiveness in today's labour market. Currently, employees with a higher level of computer skills are in great demand. For example
, the ability to use some professional software, such
as Excel and PowerBI for data analysing, is likely associated with a person's salary. Moreover
, better comprehension of Science
and Technology
also
help people in other areas of their studies. People benefit from learning the basics of logic, design and engineering while enrolling in a subject like science
. It is reasonable to expect a person good at science
will also
achieve success in other subjects
such
as maths.
To conclude, both subjects
have their own importance, however
; I personally feel that science
and technology
is a more dominating field in the current scenario.Submitted by Kashish Bhatia on
