Some people say history is one of the most important school subjects. Other people think that today's world subjects like science and technology are more important than history. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.

Some individuals argue that

history

remains one of the most important courses studied in school while others think that nowadays, programs like

science

and

technology

have taken the upper hand and are more useful than

history

.

This

essay will discuss why

although

science

and

technology

are more useful these days,

history

remains important to be studied at college. Those that argued that

history

is one of the most important institution subjects might say that because of our cultural heritage which is covered in

history

classes. Because there is a need to preserve a country's culture, the government had to include

history

classes in all levels of study. For , instance, when I was in year 1 at the university studying medicine and surgery, we had borrowed subjects which includes a

history

course that we must pass in order to move to the

next

class, so we had no choice but to study

history

and it helped us identify different cultures in the globe.

In addition

, we had to memorize all the world leaders for our exams that year which I have not forgotten to date.

However

, I was convinced that

history

is important to be studied in university like every other course.

On the other hand

, most people still argue that

science

and

technology

are more important than

history

these days.

This

is a result of many innovations made in

this

field ,

for example

, Computers and the internet have tipped the world into a digital place

hence

the trend becoming more popular among students.

Secondly

, many pupils prefer to study these courses as they are more interesting and practical to do than

history

class where most people sleep off during lectures. For these reasons,

science

and

technology

became more popular than

history

in school. In conclusion,

although

science

and

technology

have proven to be more useful than

history

, there are some instances like preserving the global cultural heritage that makes

history

also

important and useful as an institution subject.
