I believe that cutting the study of world literature from the school curriculum is not a good idea. (1) World literature exposes students to different cultures, perspectives, and experiences that they may not encounter in their day-to-day lives, helping them to become more empathetic and open-minded individuals. (2) By reading works from authors around the world, students can develop a better understanding of global issues and historical events, allowing them to become more informed citizens. (3) Additionally, studying world literature can also improve students' critical thinking and analytical skills as they compare and contrast various literary works from different regions. (4) Overall, keeping world literature in the curriculum is essential for fostering cultural awareness, empathy, and critical thinking skills in students.
