Pretend that your local school board is considering cutting the study of world literature from the school curriculum. Keeping in mind what you have learned about persuasive writing, state whether you believe this is a good idea, and then briefly describe one argument you would make to support your belief.

What makes our heart moving? What else could it be except arts including literature? In a technology-driven world today, it is often thought that scientific subjects will be more important than arts subjects, but what makes us different from robots and machines? It is that we have feeling and emotion, and literature nurtures these mental values for us. The ultimate goal of education is not only offering us academic knowledge but also teaching us about mental responsibilities such as respect for older generation, so that students can become well-rounded citizens. If world literature is cut from school curriculum, it will be a great loss because good mental values from all around the globe will not be passed through young generation anymore.
