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.

Some individuals argue that

history

is one of the most crucial

subjects

,

whereas

others believe, in the present time,

science

and

technology

subjects

triumph over the importance of

history

. Even though,

history

might prevent humans from repeating previous mistakes

in addition

to educating their descendants about their origin and values, in my opinion,

science

and

technology

subjects

will provide our youth with better skills, leading to increased job opportunities. On the one hand,

history

is a subject with numerous benefits. The first main advantage is that it gives younger generations the possibility to study and learn from the mistakes of their ancestors whether it is a political or environmental issue.

For instance

, if countries who were involved in World War 1 would have known the outcome of a similar conflict, I think they would have taken non-violence measurements. Another positive aspect of teaching

history

as a subject is that the

history

of humanity and our planet will not be forgotten,

such

as evolution, languages and natural catastrophes.

On the other hand

, the modern times we live in today require certain skills. As everything is being digitalised, society needs people that are equipped with the right set of qualifications

such

as IT, teachers and health professionals who can make use of the modern equipment the government provides.

Therefore

, by studying

science

and

technology

subjects

, students can become doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and better teachers or they can simply be employed by big companies

such

as Google and Apple, in well-paid positions. In conclusion, acquiring sufficient knowledge about the past and the origin of humans may prevent us from repeating the most awful mistakes of our

history

.

However

, I personally believe that

science

and

technology

subject, will in the modern era we have entered give better-paid jobs and attractive expertise.
