Due to the modern fierce competition in the workforce market, people are afraid of wasting their time on learning useless information. Therefore, some argued that highschools, colleges and universities should spend more time on teaching them specific subjects and helping them prepare for their future careers and jobs. However, they omitted the fact that any subject is not isolated from other subjects. In addtion, they did not realize that our life involves various aspects besides working. Hence, I disagree that teaching specific subject is what these parts of our education system should do.
On the one hand, with the advancement of our society, any occupation has been built on the knowledge of diverse general subjects. In this sense, although the issue, about wheather high schools, colleges and universities should spend more time on teaching students specific knowledge instead of general subjects, seems controversial, it is not. General subjects are basics of all modern careers. For instance, an architect must possess knowledge in several subjects, such as mathmatics, physics, and chemistry. A doctor need to know biology, mathmatics, and chemistry. Therefore, it is also necessary for students to prepare their future careers that schools spend more time on teaching general subjects.
On the other hand, besides working, hobbies and friends are also parts of our life. First, in order to please and relax ourselves, we need to pursuit some hobbies, including reading, music, painting, and so on. To appreciate these hobbies, we need knowledge in various general subjects. Second, we also need knowledge from general subjects to broaden topics on which we can talk with friends. In general, more knowledge you possess, more types of friends you can attract.
All in all, leaning general subjects is more important than leaning specific subjects for us. Consequently, I disagree that highschools, colleges and universities should spend more time teaching students specific subjects for future career preparation and spend less time teaching general subjects. |
