we should learn as many as possible

The world has become a global village, and the information is always updated. Our students do need to learn to deal with the changing world. The best way to keep up with the step of the times is to increase both our abilities and knowledge. In addition, we not only have to develop our interpersonal relationship, but also have to broaden the view of the world. The following is about the reason for why students shouldn’t study only subjects in their majors.
Nowadays, the colleges that require students to take classes in many subjects are better than which require students to specialize in the one subject. It is because that will help students who are well versed in many subjects and cultures become well – rounded individuals. We all know that “Knowledge is infinite”. There are still many different kinds of fields of knowledge beyond the subjects we have learned, and those are useful for us as well. If we can learn a variety of them, that will be a superiority for us to find a good job. In addition, today’s world people often change careers during their lifetime. If a student is only knowledgeable about one specialty it might become difficult to switch careers later on. In today’s society, we have to hold the diploma in one hand, and keep different types of skills in the other hand, so we can become more competitive in the society.
On the other side, it is not enough to just be familiar with your own field of specialty. For example, in today’s business environment, it is very likely that we will encounter people from different cultures. One of the main reasons for taking classes in many subjects is to learn about different cultures and peoples. Students that only know about their own field of specialty might be totally ignorant of the culture of their coworkers or business partners. To learn manifold subjects in college may help students to touch the different kinds of schoolmates and to further the development of interpersonal relationship, it will be a thrust of promotion in workplace in the future.
If we choose a variety of subjects to study, we may find out the interests or talents gradually, then we can develop what we are specialized. In this way, we can also broaden our world outlook and receive all kinds of knowledge from these courses. For example, I am major in applied foreign languages, but I also take the business course. In this course, I’ve learned what economic tendency Taiwan has been and toward to, and what kind of tactic a company manager is used to make. This information all make me gain my aspects of globalization.
I think it is important to have a specialty in college. However, it is even more important for students to have a broad understanding of many subjects and the world we live in. this way students will be able to leave the college as a well – rounded individual and to be a person of multiple abilities.
