Some students find some subjects such as Mathematics or Philosophy difficult, so these subjects should be optional instead of compulsory.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this question?
Some people argue that because there are some students who struggle with certain subjects like Mathematics and Philosophy, students should be allowed to decide whether or not to study these subjects. I believe these subjects should be kept as a mandatory part of the teaching curriculum although they present challenges to some students.
There are some obvious reasons why some might think that difficult subjects requiring critical and creative thinking should be voluntary. Firstly, for those students who are not simply interested in these subjects, they can be a waste of their time and energy. Instead, their time can be better spent on learning other subjects of their interest, whether it be social studies or less complex subjects like Geography where abstract thinking is rarely expected of them. Subjects like Philosophy contain many an abstract concept which can confuse the learner and even discourage them from pursuing it. One such concept, though might appear fairly simple to some people, is the meaning of happiness which is relentlessly sought after by philosophers. To students who measure happiness in simple terms, trying to view it from others’ perspectives might merely overcomplicate things.
Having said that, I still think that Mathematics and Philosophy should not be left out of the curriculum. Everyone should study Mathematics not just as a means to gain a qualification of some kind, but as more of a way to prepare for life. This is because the basics of this subject are extensively used in almost every aspect of our lives; when making a simple transaction at a store or figuring out how large a carpet you will need for one’s living room, one would generally be required to do plain arithmetic calculations. These subjects, in addition to some of them being a necessity, cultivate critical and higher thinking in students. Those students equipped with these skills are better prepared to solve real-life problems where one oftentimes has to be ingenious and deductive in their approach to solving these problems.
In conclusion, while I understand why some students should be free to choose to study certain difficult subjects, I also think that these subjects should remain to be required at schools and universities.

The maps illustrate Brightsea coastal zone in 1950, its look today and plans for future development.
Overall, a comparison of the three maps reveals that the coastal zone has experienced and is going to experience significant changes. The most significant development has been and is expected to be in construction of a number of amenities and infrastructure for visitors. Despite these reforms, few parts of Brightsea has not seen or is set to see any changes.
Focusing on Brightsea’s 1950 and current plans, by far the most noticeable change has been in road infrastructure. While the lighthouse in the heart of the area and the jetty to the north of Brightsea have remained unchanged, a café and a hotel have been erected in place of fishermen’s cottages and the lighthouse keeper’s house respectively. Additionally, a shop just east of the area and a ferry wharf by the coast have been constructed.
If we compare today’s look with the future plan of development, the place is subject to massive changes with the construction of a sailing club, a supermarket with a car park, and apartments in place of the café with a restaurant behind them. The hotel is also planned to be extended, and the newly-built place to the southwest of Brightsea is expected to serve a dual purpose: a telecommunications antenna and a ferry wharf.

The line graph illustrates the rates of male and female smokers in Someland from 1960 to 2000.
Overall, while the number of male smokers per 1000 people declined over the period studied, that of women generally increased. It is also clear that throughout the span, the gap in smoking rates between both genders shrank and had almost converged by the final year.
In detail, by far the biggest rate of smoking was observed among males in the initial year, at 600 smokers per 1000 people. In stark contrast, the figure for their female counterparts was slightly more than 6 times lower. The rate of the former gradually fell up until 1975 (to 500 smokers out of 1000 people), whereas that of the latter reached its peak with about one in three women smoking.
After 1985, the trends for both genders witnessed noticeable declines, and by the end of the period the counts for male and female smokers were approximately 250 and 200 per 1000 people, respectively.

The bar graph illustrates the amount of money earned from selling 5 different types of fiction books from 2006 to 2010.
Overall, by far the largest amount of gross earnings in each category of fiction books were noted in 2007. It is also clear that Romance books had the highest sales over the span whereas the lowest amount was recorded in Sci-Fi and Fantasy genres except for the final year studied.
Focusing on leaders of sales first, Romance books took the lead, reaching an all-time high in 2007, at approximately $117,000. The sales of books of this genre at other times, by contrast, stood in the region of $70,000-80,000. Mystery genre, having registered its peak sales in 2007 with just over $80,000, closely followed the pattern of Romance books with roughly the same difference in the amount of earnings in each year.
As for Classics, Young Adult, Sci-Fi and Fantasy categories, their gross earnings were much lower than those of the other two. The figures for Sci-Fi and Fantasy genre did not exceed $20,000 mark over the period with the exception of the year 2007. It was also the year when Classics and Young Adult genres earned almost identical sums at around $30,000. Interestingly, this pattern was observed again two years after at about $25,000.
