Do you think that literary education is preferable to
scientific education today?(English essay - Bài luận Tiếng Anh)
A
literary education has always been regarded as indispensable to the development
of character and a broad outlook on life. Whether such an education is
preferable to a scientific education is, however, a moot question.
Before the advent of the Scientific Age
most scholars pursued a literary education which conferred many benefits on
them. It not only gave them an insight into the affairs of the world but also
equipped them with a vocabulary that enabled them to express their views and
feelings with cogency and facility. Besides, it developed their mental ability
and intellectual powers, and many of the achieved distinction in public life as
forcible speakers and writers or even as lawyers and political thinkers. Having
discovered the benefits of such an education, ambitious men in all countries
proceeded to the universities or other institutions of learning to acquire the
advantages of a literary education, and this tendency is discernible even
today, though a scientific education is being considered more advantageous to
the needs of the present day.
The inventions of the modern age have
indeed revolutionised society. Numerous goods are being produced, with rapidity
unknown before in various parts of the earth with the aid of science and
scientists of all countries are continuing to exert their brains to extend the
realms of science. Every invention has helped to increase the leisure and
convenience of men everywhere, and the demand for goods is increasing everyday.
As a consequence, more and more machines are being invented to increase the
production of goods within the shortest time possible.
Every mechanical invention, however, has to
be operated by skilled men. The larger the machine the more complicated its
operation, and any mechanical faults in it can be detected only by men with a
scientific education, who are but few in number compared with those with a
literary education. It is this scarcity of men with a scientific education that
has led to the assumption that a scientific education today is preferable to a
literary education. The large factories require men to operate machinery,
dealers in motor-vehicles require men for all types of work in the industry,
and there are a diversity of other industries which are looking for men with a
scientific education. The demand for men with a scientific education is,
therefore, great, and this serves as an incentive to young men to acquire
industrial and technical skills, for the possession of such skills will not
only enable them to secure remunerative occupations but also enable them to
manage their own factories or workshops in the future to increase their
earnings.
All this, however, does not imply that
the man with a literary education is losing his importance rapidly. In truth,
he is an indispensable person even today in various departments of human
activity. He provides the managerial skill in an industry, contributes his literary
abilities to the promotion of literacy in the country, provides ministerial and
judicial services in the state, and performs a host of other functions.
Thus, it is not possible to say with
finality that a certain type of education is preferable to another. It is for
the individual to make the best of the type of education that he has
received.
