Since science and technology are becoming more and more important in modern society, schools should spend more time on teaching these subjects rather than on arts and humanities. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
选项
答案
Some people claim that scientific and technological subjects should receive more emphasis in schools, given the importance of these subjects in the modern world. However, others think that this is not a sufficient reason to neglect education in arts and humanities. Obviously, there is little doubt that science and technology have had a great influence on modern society. The commonly cited examples of the Internet boom and the need to keep pace with a fast-changing global economy show us the importance of familiarising the next generation with science and technology. But does it mean that arts and humanities should take up a smaller proportion of a students’ curriculum? Arts and humanities, it is argued, help students to gain a better vision of the past and how the world has, and continues to change over time. In other words, arts and humanities help them to think; to understand the mistakes made in the past, but also to reflect upon the great things humanity has accomplished. However, with the never-ending demand for new technologies and inventions, society is starting to pay less attention to the importance of arts and humanities. Therefore some people are wondering whether subjects in arts and humanities should give way to courses focusing on science and technology. It is imaginable that if this really happened, the younger generations today would lack the skills of critical thinking, knowledge of how the world turns around us, and suffer in their ability to read, reason and communicate. At a time when so much is happening to change the way we work and live, the way we relate to one another and the way we relate to the rest of the world, we actually need more knowledge and a better understanding of our shared history, philosophy and literature so that the lessons of the past are not lost. Therefore, I believe arts and humanities should not be given less attention in schools today, and the planning of a reasonable curriculum should consider the overall benefits to the students.
