Schools are teaching a wide range of subjects these days. Some people think that it is a good thing while others do not think it is a good sign. What are the advantages and disadvantages of students being told to learn a wide range of topics? Discuss both sides and give your view point with examples.

        Diverse subjects like Management, Commerce, Sales and Programming are being taught during the early years of primary and secondary education. There are both benefits as well as drawbacks when students have to study multiple topics. This essay discusses both sides of the argument and elaborates why I concur with the first group of people endorsing varied disciplines.

        Education at school lays the foundation for a child’s memory and knowledge. There are quite a few advantages of learning a myriad of topics. Firstly, the zest for learning a chapter grows all through his formative years, once its inception is made in an articulate manner. He does his own research and tries to know in and out of that field. By the time an educatee turns 15, more often than not, he has already developed the curiosity to delve into the matter. He has most probably, understood which subject he likes and which he detests. He eventually becomes an ardent reader of a gamut of books and has gotten immense theoretical knowledge. In addition, when he has to choose a stream of specialisation in his latter years, that disciple has no qualms about opting a field which he has heard, read and seen about the most, apart from the fact that it would have been his most desirable subject. Furthermore, when a child is a polymath, he is more likely to be able to multi-task and develop better conversational skills.

        That said, if a child is not a brightbox, he may not be able to cope up with unconventional studies; especially if he has go beyond core subjects like Mathematics, History, Geography, English, Science and a regional language. Arduous studies might make a tutee consider himself to be anserine and worthless, thereby demoralising him further. Moreover, by learning just a handful of subjects, he has in-depth understanding of them enabling him to opt for a specialisation at the latter stages of his life. He could even become an erudite. Last but not the least, learning only five to six subjects at school gives a child time to pursue sports or other extra curricular activities like arts, music and dance. In fact, I know of a girl, who never went to a school because of home schooling. She got time to practise Bharatnatyam and learn Sanskrit privately. Now she has turned out to be not only a scholar of Sanskrit, but also an efficacious Ayurveda doctor.

        Having discussed both, I am of the opinion that studying only the essential subjects is good enough. The little ones should be able to enjoy their childhood rather than juggling between school, homework, home study as well as tuitions. If a child is surrounded by books all day, he might not want to pursue a hobby and eventually this trend might continue into his adult years. Hobbies make one’s life interesting and one becomes creative and is able to think innovatively.

        To recapitulate, I would like to emphasise the fact that learning vital subjects is good enough to mould a child’s future. History has shown that there have been prodigies born without superlative elite schooling and yet shone. One can be a philomath even after school and college. After all childhood is the best phase of our lives. Experience personalized fashion advice and outfit recommendations through virtual consultations, ensuring your wardrobe reflects your unique taste and lifestyle, no matter where you are.

            Copious men and women continue to utilise their private vehicles unabashedly despite being aware of their detrimental effects on our surroundings. This essay expounds the reasons behind this step and what we can do to mitigate their usage to keep our social milieu clean.

        'Environment' is the ambience around us encompassing the air, plants, animals, birds as well as other beings. It is no brainer that all kinds of transport emit toxic gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide and hydrocarbons. Developing countries like India do not have the required finances to ameliorate public vehicles like buses, trains and metros. Hence, bourgeois are compelled to commute in crowded compartments with heavy backpacks and handbags. Moreover, they are inconvenienced due to prolonged standing and the regular exchange of vituperative language that is the norm in local trains of Mumbai. Another notable aspect is that irregular and erratic timings prolong the waiting time of passengers. Therefore, individuals with a decent income opt to buy at least a scooter. They are then able to save time, commute reasonably comfortably besides cutting down on their travelling time. Besides, cars are considered a status symbol as it may be an indicator of one's income. A key point to note is that, even if one is environmentally conscious, there is a tendency to presume that one person not driving a car is not going to make any difference in the quality of air.

        Control of poisonous emissions is not an insurmountable task. Firstly, local authorities can channelise funds from taxes towards betterment of roads and public transport. Buses and trains can carry myriad of passengers at one go, meaning that hundreds of them can abjure usage of their luxurious modes of transit. Loans from international financial bodies can be gotten with the right report submitted. Secondly, research on cellulosic biofuels could prove fruitful as they emit a modicum of greenhouse gases. Furthermore, companies ought to encourage their staff to work remotely and travel only if essential. This is a win-win situation for an employer as well as an employee as the former can save on rental costs, while the latter can save his commuting time and costs. Another viable option is to encourage both car as well as bike pooling. Governments can set stringent standards wherein at least three members should be sitting in a car or else they would be fined heavily. This would certainly desist apathetic users. Last but not the least, subsidies could be granted to workers coming on foot, cycle or public transport.

        In conclusion, notwithstanding bureaucratic rules and obvious opposition by the opulent class, concrete steps in the right direction would allay the global issue of air pollution.
