The 6 diploma subjects I take and my opinions on the quality and credibility of knowledge gained from these subjects.

1. Mathematics

I am ranking mathematics as number one because it is a subject that revolves around logical reasoning. Everything is proven and justified by theories. For example in math’s, there is always a definite answer to any question.

2. Physics

Like mathematics, physics revolves around logical reasoning; everything is based on proofs that can be proven logically. Scientists do experiments to prove theories.

3. Chemistry

In my opinion, chemistry is very much similar to physics and math’s in terms of the knowledge gained by chemistry-related studies. Hence it is number three.

4. Economics

I believe that economics gives us the some of the least reliable knowledge because it is based on assumptions made after studying general trends and patterns.

5. French

My second language is French, like any other language it helps communicate and interact with other people. Hence learning a new language is like gaining knowledge.


6. English Literature

I have ranked English as last because it involves past texts and it is mostly based on personal opinions.

  1. Thanks for your ranking, I can see how you think, but is literature really mostly based on personal opinions - don't we have some sort criteria for art!
