Topic: some people think that college education should serve vocational purposes, while others believe that it has other functions. Discuss both opinions and give yours.

模版:

 

I disagree when I hear people argue that the higher education should be career-oriented so that the students can easily find a job. The idea is near-sighted as well as imperfect. In my opinion, school education has other functions and the academic study should be given equal attention.

 

In the intellectual and emotional growth of individual student, each subject plays a unique but important role. Such practical courses as business and computer science are useful to the students, and those who are well versed in the courses do have a competitive edge when seeking employment. Yet, they would become robot not a real man, if they know nothing beyond the knowledge. The result is that the nation as a whole might lose her cultural identity. The knowledge of history and geography is an integral part of one’s overall qualities. It may seem impractical, but it is the fundamental and necessary knowledge for students training to become a useful citizen. For instance, history helps people understand a nation’s development and foster their own personality and sense of pride. Those equipped with geography are usually sensitive to the environment, which is indispensable to the human survival and the sustainable development of economy.

 

The students can hardly have a good command of the practical courses without history or geography knowledge. One needs to understand cross-cultural communication before one learns the business course. An understanding of the local culture, historical background is a key to successful marketing.

 

A graduate with both expertise and practical skills will quickly adapt to the society. In conclusion, traditional courses are as important, if not more than the practical ones.
