The author claims that all college students should be required to take courses such as poetry, novels, mythology and imaginative literature like that aiming at becoming well-rounded individuals. From my perspective, I fundamentally agree with the author that students should take courses which improve imagination and creative thinking in order to become well-rounded individuals. However, I don’t think it necessary to make these courses an obligation for all college students to study without any process of selection according to the students’ interests.

I couldn’t agree more, in accordance with my proposition, that the 21st century and modern society need well-rounded individuals with not only expertise in one certain field but also fundamental understandings about other aspects of our world and, above all, imagination and creativity, which are the origins of creative thinking and productivity. Well-rounded individuals, I think, are people who have creative thoughts and basic knowledge of our world, master certain skills, and should have the ability to cooperate with other people in a team. It is of tremendous importance that students being able to think creatively combine their knowledge and imagination to serve the society, thus they can be called well-rounded individuals.

Imaginative literature, undoubtedly, is a good way to improve students’ imagination, but I am inclined to support idea that students chose their own means, according to their interests and habits, to enhance their creative thinking and imagination which are indispensable for becoming well-rounded individuals. Interest is the best teacher, and there are ways for students to choose to become well-rounded individuals. If students can choose to study by their favorite means, specifically, taking courses which they are really interested in, they can do much better in the study, not only in imaginative literature courses but also in other relatively difficult professional study. What’s more, the author does not consider that not all the college students like imaginative literature. Although the author’s intention is to help, these courses will be counterproductive for students who do not enjoy imaginative literature and maybe even abate students’ enthusiasm of study.

And another reason why I disagree with the author’s method of all college students taking imaginative literature courses is that students may be addicted to imaginative literature such as novels and mythology and maybe spend too much time on it, thus probably leading to dilapidation of their professional study, which is also an indispensable element of a well-rounded individual. Imaginative novels are fascinating especially for some students who really enjoy them. And if they read too much of these novels utilizing their time which is originally supposed to do other work or professional study, against the author’s will, it will be harder for these students to become real well-rounded individuals.

The last reason why I oppose the author’s suggestion in the claim is that colleges and universities have to put additional resources to ensure all the students taking imaginative literature courses. This will definitely increase the burden of universities, not only financially but also in arrangement of teachers, classrooms, and curriculum. In order to provide more imaginative literature courses for all students, universities probably have to cancel other courses which may be also of importance for students to become well-rounded individuals. So, it is not realistic or reasonable to require all college students to take imaginative literature courses.

To sum up, college students becoming well-rounded individuals is the goal for us to make efforts for. But it will be more effective if students choose their own method to work for the goal instead of requiring all students to take imaginative literature courses as an obligation, which may lead to the opposite consequence.
