Many people believe that science subjects should be more concentrated than other subjects to develop a nation. From my perspective, I totally disagree with this opinion.
To begin with, this phenomenon could exert several detrimental influences on students. First and foremost, students would not be all-round developed. While sciences help students enhance logical thinking or critical thinking, other subjects such as art subjects would assist students to enrich their emotions and mental life, which seem to be indispensable with each individual’s life. Secondly, unbalanced learning could also lead to a distorted school of thought. While each major in society has an equal role, students might tend to underestimate non-science subjects, leading to the biasing of science majors. As a consequence, many students could choose a major that is incompatible with their ability in the future.
Worse still, a nation based on scientific development seems to lack social diversity. Firstly, that nation would experience a poor mental life of residents. As culture might not be performed via science studies, citizens could not enjoy cultural satisfaction such as unique music or movies because of the rejection of art majors. Secondly, that society would also witness the unbalance in job distribution. When as many people choose science-related jobs, which means those majors might witness an excessive number of human laborers that society does not need. Furthermore, not everyone has the talent in conducting scientific research; thus, concentrating on training science subjects would be meaningless if the education system could not ensure the outcome of the labor workforce.
In conclusion, the aforementioned phenomenon could lead to the wrong direction of students and the loss of social diversity. It is predicted that the education system should balance the development of both science and non-science subjects.
