It has been observed that, it is more important to teach teenagers the literature and history of own nation. Although some people believe that youngsters should emphasise that to teach more the literature and history of other countries. I firmly agree with the given statement.My inclination is elaborated in ensuing paragraphs and relevant examples.
There are several reasons why I believe that schools focus on teaching national literature and history. The foremost argument to justify my stand is that everyone is more interested in learning about themselves and their lives and development than learning about the history of other countries. Firstly,children enjoy learning about where they live, and by studying the ideas, culture and history of their own countries they begin to develop a sense of identity.For instance,Uzbek children are more interested in the history of Amir Temur or Jalaluddin Manguberdi and their deeds actions than learning about Persian king Cyrus 2.Besides that, it is also true that everyone is enthusiastic about their literature, writers and literacy life.This is because literature is look like that countryʼs standart of life, traditionals and habitats. For example, uzbek literature is different from English or French literature,due to the cultures of each nation are different.
By contrast, the study of global events and foreign novels could cause unnecessary difficulty and confusion for school pupils.For example, I do not see the point in presenting Russian or Chinese history yo a British child who has not yet studied the history of his or her country in detail. Surely the child would be more able to comprehend historical events that took place in London than those that happened in Moscow or Beijing.Similarly, any exposure to international literature is likely to require the teaching of a foreign language or the use of translations. Young people at primary or secondary school age are simply not ready for such complications.
To conclude the discussion,I would agree that undesirable for schools to cover aspects of foreign history and literature; they should ground their pupils in the local culture instead.
