Topic: Some people say that universities should be concerned with educating

people so that they will have wide general knowledge and be able to consider

important matters from an informed viewpoint. other people say that university

should simply train students to do the jobs required by society, and not

concern themselves with broader issues. What do you think?

BÀI LÀM 1

No one can deny the fact that studying in a university with educating people provides

lots of advantages such as having wide general knowledge and being able to consider

individual matters from general view to every single detail. However as for me, I still

believe the view that university should simply train students to do the jobs required by

society, and also not educate them any broader issues. There is a number of reasons

why I support this view of point.

Firstly, once students come to university, they have already been aware of studying

independently. Thus, they will have to be in charge with gaining broader issues

themselves, not the university’s responsibility to teach them those. To illustrate this,

think of the difference between the function of a student in high school and student in

university. Have we ever wondered why the educational system in high school required

students to study various subjects? I think this question is quite easy to answer since

the awareness of students to be independent in studying is directed toward by education

system in schools. Seemingly, students are expected to study not only important

matters but also the broader one. Finally, the achievement given guarantees the

demand of social life in which independence seems to be very necessary in every single

kind of job students will do in the future.

Moreover there is an old quote says that: “Working one job professionally is better than

working nine jobs amateurishly”. I think this quote is acceptable to be a good reason for

this issue. To illustrate this, think of the living in the present of economic context. We

can see that there will be no good job with good salary for a person who can do

everything in a fixed limitation which is just not enough for being considered to have a

promotion. Therefore, university should train students professionally and skillfully to do

the job required by society which will allow students not only to earn more money but

also have a stable job with a stable position in society.

Of course, studying in a university with educating people also has their own reasons to

be the good choice. However, there is nothing to confuse the advantages of training

students to do the jobs required by society in university. That will make students be

more independent and more successful in the future.

Every education system around the world has a same question: what the chief function

of tertiary level education is. There are two sides of this argument, on the one hand,

some people say that university should educate student to have a wide general

knowledge that he would be confident to face with all issues in his life, in other words,

student would be a perfect person after graduated. Others say that university should

simply train student to do the job required by society as a vocational school does. To
