History and Literature, Essay (IELTS)

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is more important for students to study history and literature than it is for them to study science and mathematics. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.
Some people believe that students should study more history and literature. However, other people think that studying science and mathematics is more important. From my experience and observation I think that students should study both science and history. Bellow I will outline some basic reasons to support my opinion.

First of all, I believe that studying history and literature is important for the range of interests of students and people on the whole. It extends the range of interests and teach people to analyze their history. Every person should know the history of the country where he or she was born. Knowledge of one's roots and origins gives the opportunity to understand many things that are around. Second of all, I think that this kind of knowledge is essential for students who are going to be lawyers, newspapermen, political figures, etc. One more reason to study history is that it helps one to analyze mistakes made by ancestors or learn from their wise decisions.

From the other side, I think that it is also important for students to study science. Personally, I like studding mathematics because for me it is very interesting to work with figures, analyze them, develop different ways to solve the problem. It teaches one to think logically and improves one's ability to think  non-typically. I think it is great.

Studding of science allows people to improve their life conditions, make discoveries, develop innovations, etc. Scientists work on new vaccines and pills to make our life longer and happier. They make researches in different fields from medicine to space. Because of this kind of knowledge humankind has opportunities to watch TV, fly, using jet airplanes, surf an Internet, play computer games, watch movies, drive cars, etc.

In conclusion, I think that students must study many things including science and literature in order to succeed in the modern world.

7 Wastes in Lean Manufacturing (SIX Sigma)

Over-Production Waste   Definition  • producing more than what is needed • producing faster than what is needed Causes • volume incentives (sales, pay, purchasing) • high capacity equipment • line imbalance; poor scheduling/shifting • poor production planning • cost accounting practices that encourage build up of inventory Over-production waste occurs when more goods are produced than can be sold, resulting in idle finished goods inventory. Over-produced goods are often hidden wastes since many think they are assets with value, when in fact most of them may be obsolete or costing the company unnecessary expenses just to keep them until they can be sold if ever. The just-in-time, pull system, and kanban rules prevent over-production wastes. Also, lean systems favor smaller equipment over large ones to avoid overproduction due to high but unnecessary capacity utilization. Processing Waste   Definition  • non-value added man processing • non-valu...
