P153 #4

I would like to know if excelling at writing and humanities is more useful than excelling at math or science.

Conjecture:
Being able to express yourself through the written word is an important tool.
Being able to solve problems logically is a useful concept to have.


Degree:
Writing is more important than math or science because of the need to clearly express one's self. This comes from knowing how to write well.
Being better at math and science helps you think more logically and critically about the world around you, which is an important skill in everyday life.
Each is a good skill to have and one is not better than the other.
Neither skill is that important to daily life.

Possibility:
Knowing more about each might help in everyday life, regardless if you are good at them.
People are required in schools to be exposed to both topics, so even a little bit of knowledge from each division is helpful.
