It is more important for students to study history and literature than it is for them to study science and mathematics?

Obviously this theme is controvertial there are people supporting both sides of opinion. People who believe that literature and history are more significant in children education, support their thought in the strong belief that the knowledge of the main general fact of the culture the language and the history that brought us here is enough for having an complete picture about the world they live in, and how to develop them selves, and improve their lives through get to know everything they need from books.

In contrast of that idea, there are a lot of scientist and teachers who have the strong belief that the study of science and mathematics is much better for their education. This statement is based on the idea that these kind of subjects attempt to improve the logical thinking, and encourage children to be mucho more curious.

It is a fact that the bases of math stimulates the logic in our brains, due to that in several majors the first years, the students have lots of classes of science and math, orientated to increase our mental functions to reach a more abstract way of thinking.

Math teach students how to solve problems, and those skills can be used not only in Algebra, or Geometry, but also in everyday life. Science teaches them how does the universe work and it gives them a better understanding of the natural process going around their own lives. Both, even if there are not applied directly, try to develop their rational thinking, and this will be a really useful tool, even when they study other subjects or topics.

Topic: Who we are as writers? Positive and negative experiences as a writer?

In my case I do not really have much experience as a writer, I have only write in English few times, and only for my English classes homework , but I have written a lot of  essays and assignments in my native  language during my studies.

I think the most positive influence a person can have for writing is reading, because you can internalize the knowledge and at the same time you are learning to communicate ideas. I am not a big fan of readings, because I have a lot to read for university so I have not reached to find time enough to read books for pleasure, and even less in English. Otherwise, when I am looking for some information or doing some research there are a lot more possibilities to find something interesting written in English, also sometimes translations loose part of the meaning of a text.

I do not really know who I am as a writer but I believe that to write is the best way to found it out.

About me
