Should There be Compulsary
College Classes
Open your eyes, clean out your ears, sit down and listen, straighten
your back, keep your head forward and be ready to have an open mind? Having
an open mind is a good quality to have while experiencing different situations
that you may encounter. People have many different opinions and ideas which
they are expressing in today’s society. College is another step along the
journey of life that a select few will experience. College should be first
priority on everybody’s agenda in order to be successful in this struggling
world. People need education outside of their own studies to broaden their
horizons. People are sometimes stuck in their own “little world” and do
not realize the important factors of life. Hopefully, college students
will realize the importance of the classes which they are taking in college
courses, and that the classes have meaning. Students may not understand
the meaning of these required classes at the time which they are required,
but someday they may understand.
College students may think basic required classes is just busy work,
wasted time, and a waste of their money. There is another intention to
why these classes are required. Imagine that you are the Vice President
of a well known company while sitting there in a meeting with the President
of the same company and all of your coworkers. Somebody says to you Mr.
VP, what do you think about the Checks and Balances of our American Government?
What is Mr. VP to reply. Sorry I didn’t take government to understand what
you are talking about. Personally I would rather be able to join in on
the discussion with my fellow coworkers. Government among other required
classes are important. History, science, English, economics all have some
reason why they are important. First of all history I believe is important
because our American society can learn from the people before our generation.
I also think that history is interesting to learn and I can understand
why some people are the way they are because of the way society has brought
them to be. Such as some of the African-Americans are still mad at the
Caucasians because of our ancestors. If we were not taught history we would
not understand why some of the African-Americans were hostile toward the
Caucasians. Among other events that have taken place throughout history
it is important that college students have the opportunity to be able to
learn about such events. Science is important to our society because it
helps students and society appreciate the world around us. If science was
not offered to us how would we know about the universe and solar system,
the technology society has today would not be as good. English is probably
the subject that is most helpful in our “actual” required courses that
college students have to take. People will always use English from writing
resumes to writing referrals for past employees. There will always be a
reason for taking an English class it can help you carry on better conversations
with customers or just in everyday conversation. If someday you might be
a car salesman using the correct usage of language will help you make a
sale. Economics is also a required class that college students will have
to take. Economics is important to help a person understand how the American
government budgets their money and how they make money. Economics also
teaches a student to figure out taxes, which is probably one of the most
frequently used formula that a person might use around April 15 of every
year.
All required classes have some importance in them. Whether I have mention
what importance that each subject has it will be relevant in some form
or fashion. Though required classes may be a bit expensive than what a
student may pay just for their major courses, it will be worth having the
knowledge in the future. By the time a college student is finished with
everything they might need for their degree plan they will be smarter,
well rounded, and will have a better understanding and knowledge of life.
Students will acknowledge other things around them and hopefully appreciate
what they have learned and help others to enjoy not only the studies they
like but help them to appreciate other people studies.
