In these modern days, when the global has a tendency to focus on science and technological subjects like math, physics, biology…History is being discussed about its practical role in education. It is believed that studying history is a waste.But there are also some advocated opinions that historical subjects are still a crucial thing that we must learn.Personally, I strongly support the idea that history is a fundamental discipline and it’s worth learning.
On the one hand, history is considered as a waste of time maybe because of some reasons below. I believe that the present history educating methods are too boring to student and it also lack practical experiences.These are the main reasons that make many students unwilling to learn that subject. For instance, the teaching ways of many history teachers nowadays is quite outdated and doesn’t fit student’s thinking any more, they do not have any illustration or video about history, just picking a large amount of words from the books,that make the classes be very tedious and students can not even concentrate on the lessons. Moreover, the lecture program history books is old, it haven’t been updated to the latest problems of global, a more practical program.This problem can lead to many negative reactions about history, especially students in the 4.0 era. They might think studying history is just reading the past, and that will not help them in present days such as finding a job or catching up with the world with just a book.
On the other hand, history is believed to be an essential subject, and it’s also my opinion.The main reason is because history is the platform of everything in this world, the means to record the developing process of humanity and also play a significant role to the world. For instance, nowadays math is made history, if we not have history to record functions,equations,…,so there won’t have math- a subject that help us create many modern accommodations and enhance human intelligence. Another reason is gratitude, history reflects many wars that our ancestors suffered to give us peace. It teaches us how our nation was formed, from that we can study gratitude and feel proud of our origin.
In conclusion, history is the background of everything in this world, and it should be teached as a compulsory subject in school cause it preserves many human knowledge and ensures the developing path for us.
