<p>We live in a world where subjects overlap. For example, fields of science also include plenty of writing when publishing discoveries, and the field of politics is riddled with statistics (just to name a few).</p>
<p>Educated people are notorious for their diverse and clear understanding of society and the world as a whole. This would not occur if they were overly focused on a specific subject. Employers are looking for well-rounded AND knowledgeable candidates, and this accomplished through a diverse, yet in-depth, higher education. </p>
<p>For these reasons, as well as plenty of others, I believe that general education requirements may be tedious, but they are ultimately important in students’ abilities to be progressive members of society. </p>
