Do people change their way they perceive the world after studying an academic discipline? Some people assert that the we look at the samw world with different eyes after the study of an academic discipline. In my point of view, I strongly agree with this assertion. To support my point, I will present several examples involving education.
First, we must understand why an academic discipline has so strong power to alter our way of perceiving the world. When born, our mind is simple and pureAs human being coming to the world, there is nothing in the minds. We look at the world, passively, absorbing never-before-seen things that are happening, thus changing our understanding of the world. We grow upas growing up, year by year, weaccumulating knowledge not only about academic but also mostlywith respect to common sense. We never look at water as something cold and no taste any more, but something composed of hydrogen and oxygen that can drown us.although we just know that the water is potable without taste, it is composed by hydrogen and oxygen. It is the knowledges that reconstruct our brains, and assist them to think and react in better ways. As we know, knowledge is something that how we think the world is, how to recognize it and how to understand it. So knowledge, especially acquired by studying an academic discpline will significantly lift us to a higher level.本段指出人们认识发生变化是由于人们掌握了知识,找到了合理的解释,可否从另一个角度,比如人们在没有掌握知识之前看待自然是reasonable and natural, 没有什么why, 但当人们掌握了该学科的知识就要去知道他的来源
One good example in point is that what biology can change a child's attitude toward animals like ants. in the child’s eyes,Ants may only mean black moving little countless creatures that are interesting. They move in lines and carry food with their jaws and they can kill caterpillarsants just a kind of black moving little creatures, which can carry food with they jaws and kill caterpillars.. However, all these impression are superficial. But× situation is different for a child who read biological books about ants and other social insectsafter they know some knowledge from the biological books about the ants or other gregarious insects,. They will have respect to this amazing society structure of ants, which may be the second complex society on earth, running after human's. And they know why they can kill caterpillars, which is much bigger in size: ants have poison in their jaws and they hunt in groups, seems quite intellectual. Child like this looks at the ants in eyes different from that who didn't read.
Any specialist has a thorough mastery of a specific discipline, and they look at their field of work in eyesthe perspective that are different from people who never studied the discipline. A painter, who usually has studied courses like the principles of colors and the principles of lines, looks at every ordinary scene different from ordinary people. To them, what they see is colors and lines only, and to others, apple is apple, woman is womanin their eye’s, the images are just the lines and colors, while the common people deem it as a masterpiece. are another exampletake composers as another expample. Music to them is a colorful picture consisted of lively notes jumping around the five lines while listeners simply appreciate the melody. It is the academic training of art and music that makes them different.
There are still many examples to go. Physics changes our ideas about forces. Astronomy stopped us from considering the earth as the center of the universe, and so on and on稍微具体点论述一个.
Admittedly, this assertion only works when one really put his heart in studying; one can forget or disagree with what he was taught. Obviously, this such situation, studying an academic discipline does not have visible influence on the way people look at the world.
In sum, an academic discipline not only alter our way of perceiving the world, but give us new eyes as well. Academic discplines had changed human society in a great extent and are the source of progress. Nowadays, human perceive the world in ways so much different from stone age, and with the emerging of new academic disciplines, we will go through a deeper change of ways of our looking at the world. What's more, that's why education is important文中就没有论述这一点. |
