I love history!!!
As the demand of knowledge increases quickly all over the world, many students in universities are required wider range of knowledge. History, as a very important subject which interprets the human knowledge in a chronological method, is more and more demanded by the university students. There comes a debate that whether history should be added to the compulsory course list or not. When I was asked I felt that forcing students of every major to study history is a very bad idea.

First and foremost, to let the non-history major students study history is actually a waste of time and energy. The time and energy of a single college student is quite limited. Another important reason is that for most of the students who do not major in history, especially those who major in science, history is actually of no use for them. Though the demand of variety of knowledge of an individual is increasing, to do well in one’s major is the most important.The last reason why history should not be studied by all students is that for those students who do not major in history, taking history course may decrease their GPA and may lead to a lack of confidence or other psychological problems.

In brief, though history is very important, it should not be demand on all the students of different majors. We can study it according to our interests upon it when we are free. But it should not be a compulsory course in college.
