It is more important for schoolchildren to learn about local history than world history. To what extent to you agree or disagree?

BÀI MẪU

Many people have valued the role of local history to schoolchildren over that of world history. In my opinion, I disagree with those people as both of them are equally essential for young learners.

Studying the history of their hometown is for sure an indispensable part  of  school’s  curriculum  during  students’  early  education. I believe having thorough insights into what happened in the past at one’s locality develops his patriotism. For example, children of primary and secondary schools in my village are taught about how their ancestors defended their land against outside intruders and reclaimed sovereignty. Therefore, those young children would take pride  in  their  origin and  treasure  the  life  they  have today. Additionally, I think it is not only students’ privilege but also their responsibility to know about their own history to understand their hometown’s traditional values and identity.

From  another  angle,  learning about  world  history  shares equal importance  just  as  local  one.  Acquiring  knowledge  about  the world’s  past  events  equips  students  with  a  more well-rounded perspective of life. Lessons about the World War or Feminism protest against women’s abuse and discrimination would help those learners enhance their understanding about various aspects of the world. Furthermore,  I  think  that  being  taught  about  the  other countries’ historical backgrounds would benefit young learners in their future career. Students who accumulate knowledge of this particular field at an early age would possess a golden selling point to  work  for  foreign  enterprises,  especially  those  who  highly value company culture like Japan. 

In conclusion, I believe the significance of domestic and international history cannot be brought into comparison to see which one is more necessary because they have distinctively  equal meanings to children.
