Univeritie hould require every tudent to take a variety of coure outide the tudent field of tudy becaue acquiring knowledge of variou academic dicipline i the bet way to become truly educated.
I fundamentally agree with the propoition that tudent mut take coure outide their major field of tudy to become truly educated. A contrary poition would reflect a too narrow view of higher education and it proper objective. Neverthele, I would caution that extending the propoition too far might rik undermining thoe objective.
The primary reaon why I agree with the propoition i that me education amount to far more than gaining the knowledge and ability to excel in one major coure of tudy and in one profeional career. True education alo facilitate an undertanding of one- elf, and tolerance and repect for the viewpoint of other. Coure in pychology, ociology, and anthropology all erve thee end. True education alo provide inight and perpective regarding one place in ociety and in the phyical and metaphyical world. Coure in political cience, philoophy, theology, and even cience uch a atronomy and phyic can help a tudent gain thi inight and perpective. Finally, no tudent can be truly educated without having gained an aethetic appreciation of the world around u--through coure work in literature, the fine art, and the performing art.WWw.hAOzuowEn.com
Becoming truly educated alo require ufficient matery of one academic area to permit a tudent to contribute meaningfully to ociety later in life. Yet, matery of any pecific area require ome knowledge about a variety of other. For example, a political-cience tudent can fully undertand that field only by undertanding the variou pychological, ociological, and hitorical force that hape political ideology. An anthropologit cannot excel without undertanding the ocial and political event that hape culture, and without ome knowledge of chemitry and geology for performing field work. Even computer engineering i intrinically tied to other field, even non-technical one uch a buine, communication, and media.
