Some employers who recruit recent college graduates for entry-level jobs evaluate applicants only on their performance in business courses such as accounting, marketing, and economics. However, other employers also expect applicants to have a broad background in such courses as history, literature, and philosophy.
Do you think that, in the application process, employers should emphasize one type of background -- either specialization in business courses or a more varied academic preparation -- over the other? Why or why not? Develop your position by using reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.

The following appeared in a memorandum issued by a large city's council on the arts.
"In a recent city wide poll, fifteen percent more residents said that they watch television programs about the visual arts than was the case in a poll conducted five years ago. During these past five years, the number of prople visiting our city's art museums has increased by a similar percentage. Since the corporate funding that supports public television, where most of the visual arts programs appear, is now being threatened with severe cuts, we can expect that attendance at our city's art museums will also start to decrease. Thus some of the city's funds for supporting the arts should be reallocated to public television.

一些雇主征召大学毕业生进口（entry-level）工作时只通过应聘者在商务课程，比如会计，市场和经济方面的表现来评价他们。但是，另一些雇主也希望应聘者在诸如历史，文学和哲学之类的课程上有广阔的背景。
你认为在应聘过程中雇主应该强调一种背景（无论是专业商务课程或者更广泛的学术基础）超过另一种吗？为什么是或者为什么不是？从你自身的经验，观察和阅读给出相关的原因and/or例子来展开你的观点。

一个大城市的艺术理事会出版的备忘录:
在最近的城市范围的民意测验中，多于15％的居民说他们通过电视观赏视觉艺术，这要比5年前民意测验的时候多。在过去5年中，参观城市艺术馆的人也增长了类似百分比。由于支持公共电视（多数视觉艺术节目出现的地方）的社团基金面临大幅缩减的危险，可以预期参观我们城市艺术馆的人数将开始下降。因此应该将一些原来用于支持艺术的基金重新分配给公共电视
