IB Subjects

My first TOK assignment is to rank my IB subjects from 1 to 6 in terms of importance. My six IB subjects are art, biology, literature, Spanish, maths and ITGS.  Thinking of the most important subjects is not a very easy thing to do. Am i supposed to say what is the most important subject to me? to my parents? or important in terms of my future? Personally my favorite subject is art. This is because its my best way to express myself. however my parents and probably most of the people i know would say that it is the least important subject since it will not help me as much as my other subjects in my future. So in terms of my future I would say that maths is my most important subject since it is involved in everything in everyday life (even though its my least favorite subject). The second most important subject would be English. English is one of the most spoken languages in the world and as a person that did not come from an English speaking country, i believe that it is very important for every student all around the world to learn the language in order to communicate wherever they go. The third most important subject would probably be Spanish.Just like knowing English, knowing another language is always a good advantage when going to other countries. Biology is my fourth important subject for the simple reason that students and people in general should know what exactly is going on inside them and around them. My fifth important subject is ITGS. As a very fast developing world in terms of technology, i believe that knowing the influences of the rapid technology changes is very important to understand and know how to deal with our future as it l develops. And lastly the sixth important subject is art and not because it is not important to me but from what i think and what i was told from many people, most students that do art as an ib subject will not proceed with it in the future in terms of a career.
