Topic Social science vs. natural science
Some people advocate that students should spend much more time
on history and literature than on science and mathematics. They
may have their seemingly reasonable arguments, but
unfortunately, I disagree with them.
First, have a look at your surroundings, have your caught a sight of
computers, cars or
TV sets? When you are working, do you think computers are quite
convenient and do a lot of good to you? When you are tired, do you
want to watch TV? Without your car, can you work home as freely
as before? But remember, without science and technology
improving, all these things are absolutely unavailable to you. You
must walk home no matter it is how far from your working place.
You can of course recite poems when walking, but can you avoid
tired?
Second, it is announced that we will soon develop a new kind of
computer which is hundreds of thousands times faster than what we
currently have, are you looking forward to it? But if all students
learn so less science and math on campus and all turned up to be
poets or writers, who can you expect to develop such technology in
the future?
Third, to learn science and math at school will improve you brain,
turning it to be a more smart and intelligent one. Scientific and
mathematic knowledge is logical and full of intelligent thoughts. It
can greatly sharp your eyes. For example, when you look at sky,
what you can see are merely a lot of stars, irregularly dispersed
there. But if you have some knowledge of astronomy, you will be
able to tell out which one is a star or a planet, and why some star
looks yellow-white while some others looks red-white or bluewhite. In this way the sky is an interesting place full of wonders
instead of merely a cluster of stars.
Of course, I do not say this so that we can skip learning history and

literature. The latter two are of important to us too even when we


want to be scientists or engineers, no to mention if we want to be
poets or writers. They can fill us with historical and literal
knowledge, which can help to sharp our personality.
I think it is proper to point out that as science students, we should
definitely learn more science and math knowledge than history and
literature.
