What do you think is a crucial subject currently missing from most school curriculums that could better equip students for the rapidly changing world?

 

 

Let’s Think

Share your answer to this question, or choose one of the subjects listed below in Hints for Points and explain why you are interested in it.

 

 

Hints for Points

1.        Constitution: Changing, not amending, the Constitution means losing your country. Fascists are always aiming to change the Constitution. Thus, students need to learn about it and protect it.

 

2.        Pandemic: New viruses like COVID-19 will keep appearing as human society keeps developing into the wild. Nevertheless, many people have wrong ideas about the prevention and treatment.

 

3.        Survival Skills: Climate change has started to bite. Plate tectonics has entered its active phase. We need to learn how to survive without infrastructure in the worst-case scenario. For instance, we need to know how to secure drinkable water, edible food, and safe shelter by ourselves.

 

4.        Languages of Minorities and Neighboring Countries: Children need to be able to have basic conversation with minority people and people from neighboring countries.

 

5.        Relationships: Social changes have been isolating people, and children grow up with less natural, in-person interactions. Therefore, they must learn about relationships to live a better life.

 

6.        Making Documentary Films: It is expected that drastic, unexpected changes will happen in this century. We, as a human race, need to record the changes. As we don’t know how many of us will survive, everyone must know how to make a documentary.

 

7.        Traditional Songs and Dances: Multi-ethnic society will increase as migration and immigration increase around the world due to unrest such as conflicts and disasters. Learning songs and dances around the world will facilitate smooth bonding and mutual understanding between individuals and ethnic groups.

 

 

Response for Ideas and Expressions

I think communism should be a required subject. Communism is the most stigmatized and yet the most necessary idea for the people in this century. The word originates from community, and it’s about how people in the modern world can live helping each other like a family, free from drawbacks of capitalism. The West has treated communist countries like Russia, China, and Cuba as enemies to protect capitalism, to keep making money exploiting developing countries. People in the West also have had a bad image about communism because communist countries became dictatorships or oligarchies. Taking advantage of this, capitalist governments have made propagandas that communists are antisocial. For example, many people believe that Japanese Communist Party is attempting a violent revolution, but the special police have found no evidence of their vandalization after 70 years of investigation. As capitalism has extremely widened wealth gaps, weakened democracy, and deteriorated the environment, a new idea that can be a call for action to build a society where everyone can live happily is needed. Communism is adequate for the role. Thus, children need to learn about the general idea and history of this theory. (191 words)
