▶ Your Answer :
Opinions may be divided over whether it is more
significant for students to study science and mathematics than it is for them
to study history and literature. However, we cannot deny the fact that history
and literature play important roles about building people's right national
view. Personally, therefore, I agree that studying history and literature is
the most leading point for the country's people. I feel this way for two
reasons, which I will explore in the following essay.
For starters, a nation who forget its past has no future;
the tragedy can be happened again if they do not know. By learning about
history and literature on the worst time, it allows the people to keep in their
mind regarding the history and then people can be inspired to improve their
country. My country, South Korea, is a compelling example of what I mean. Fifty
years ago, Korea was colonized from Japan for 33 years. In order not to forget
the history, people have tried to teach young students history at the time.
Therefore, the education has motivated all of Koreans to endeavor ardently so
as to improve their country. Moreover, now we are sure that the worst history will
never happen again. If people focused on only learning science and mathematics,
it would not have been able to improve like now.
On top of that, people can gain national pride by learning
history. National pride leads them to have patriotism; this is one of the
essential factor of a country's success. That is to say, people who have deep
patriotism are the greatest resource of the country's future. My own experience
demonstrates meaning of this. When I was in a middle school, I learned about
remarkable history and poetry in Joseon Dynasty, AD 1500. I was so proud of
the history and poetry regarding how our ancestor retrieved enemies and they
depicted beautiful nature in portray. Hence, I have decided to endeavor my own
ability. At the moment, I did not want to get left behind compared to the
ancestors. Consequently, I still want to do much to my country's development.
Considering keeping in their mind and gaining national
pride, I firmly hold that it is paramount thing to learn history in this world
for the reasons that I aforementioned.
