First draft: ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAY

Sciences and humanities: both important.

            Sciences and humanities are both ancient and great traditions. Both are vital and necessary elements of a balanced education. That much should be a statement of the obvious. It is only when we focus on their different strengths that we enter into an interesting and different discussion. Some people, over time, have been saying that sciences and math are more difficult than humanities-based courses; therefore people should focus on becoming scientists, preferably, doctors.

            This is not true. There is not a winner in this contest between humanities and sciences. The two areas are very different, but it’s possible to have one without the other.

            Every English student can say this with experience; in every first student years, they had to do a lot of research on internet and books, because English is all about vocabulary, words, sentences, reading, etc. So, without the knowledge on how to do a power point presentation or a brainshark video, our studies on English wouldn’t be complete. With all the advances in technology, we must have a basic knowledge.

            At the end, as time passes by, we are all going to increase our abilities on sciences, as also in humanities. As future teachers, we will have to be able to make good presentations, schedules, and all that has to do with teach to students. All in all, it’s impossible to have sciences without humanities. For me, nowadays, are both important, obviously I know and use more humanities than sciences, and without sciences I wouldn’t be a complete and an advanced student.
