The question of what should or should not be on a university syllabus has always been a contentious one. But suggesting. That we make simplistic choices such as removing philosophy and replacing it with engineering is simply ridiculous. In this. Essay I will, explain why we need to think carefully about forcing our youth into certain college courses.
First, of allUniversities are not just training centers for companies. Of course the university must remain in contact with the 'real.' World and provide courses that can be applied to 'real' world problems. However this does, not mean that the university s. ' Only function is to provide cheap job-ready recruits for corporations. The real world is not a simple place: it is, a multi-dimensionalInterwoven web, of interests realities perspectives and, complex social interactions. Perhaps engineers can build, a bridge. But they cannot do it by themselves. They need to be politicians communicators visionaries,,,,,,, leaders accountants designers And problem-solvers. Similarly philosophers or economists cannot dwell in the clouds concocting grandiose theories: they. Need to, be communicators,,, writers breadwinners accountants cooks and baby-sitters. We all live in worlds where practice and theory constantly. Intersect and our, choices of course in college do not mean we are less practical or more theoretical. They simply reflect. An area of our interest at a particular point in time.
A second reason why colleges should offer a wide range of courses. Is in response to market demands.Many colleges depend on, tuition fees and if people want to pay for doctorates in divinity or diplomas, in dog-grooming. Then the college should respond to this and provide the best courses possible.
, Thirdly imagine a world full, of engineers. Or philosophers or scientists or, food, economists. Clearly civilization would come to, a halt as would conversation.From time to time gaps will arise in the job market because of new economic or, population trends and colleges will need. To produce more doctors business graduates, or nurses but, healthy, overall a society will have a healthy range of courses. For its people to maximize its human potential.
, However the most important reason is that people are immensely versatile.An engineer can be a philosopher and a, cook can be, an physicist or a musician or a, day - trader. There is no need to pigeon-hole. People and put artificial restrictions on their activities. College should be an opportunity to explore and to connect with. The world rather than, a joyless initiation into a lifetime of work. In a world that is changing faster than, ever beforeWe need to forget simplistic distinctions and instead prepare ourselves for a rich varied lifetime, full of opportunities. And wonder.
