I think in world exist two types of person: arts person and technics person. Both can’t understand way of thinking each other, because they have different mentality. It mean that they will find two different solution of the same problem.
I can’t agree with expression that ” It is more important for students to study history and literature than science and math.”, because you use math every day, you can’t live without it, even ancient people use simple math to count how much dears they should kill in order to subsist them self and their relatives that’s why math and science are a huge parts of our life. My teacher always says that if you are good in math you can take care with everything, you can learn what you wish. Also for me math causes different emotions. If you only knew how many emotions
I feel when someone says “mathematical analysis” and they are not always pleasant. I can’t deny that student should not study literature and history at all, because it is our culture and our memories about the past. I think that everyone must know about history of his motherland, of course you should know everything if you don’t like it but a few main thing you must know. The same situation is with literature of your motherland.
I was lucky that I was born in Ukraine that’s why now I can be very proud of motherland literature.
Nowadays more and more applicants choose technical direction of education and that is normal, because career of this direction is well paid that’s why technical education become more popular every day. It’s a normal thing today, because science is always in progress and people try to be in step with the times that’s why we use more and more different electronic devises or to automate you work and provokes deficit of human resources witch can take care about different technics.
As you can see history, literature, science and math is always with you through your life and you can live without this things.
