issue41 G-89-互助社-8月11日同主题写作 请拍41.Such nonmainstream areas of inquiry as astrology, fortune-telling, and psychic and paranormal pursuits play a vital role in society by satisfying human needs that are not addressed by mainstream science. In all ages, the nonmainstream areas, such as astrology, fortune-telling, and psychic and paranormal pursuits have existed and experienced many years. It, surely, has some effects on people's lives and development of the history and society. However, I strongly agree that nonmainstream areas play an important role in society. Because these theories are all generated by immature technology and hypothesis of fatuous people.In the first place, we may find out that people who resort to fortune - telling, astrology and such nonmainstream areas of inquiry unusually are ill educated and underclass of the society. In ancientry, since people do (did) not know the technology (technological) and natural knowledge, they had mistakes to regard some natural phenomena as a ghost or a god showing its presence ( the presence of the god) or power. For example, they thought the thunder as the god being angry and the rain was the weeping of the god. Because in that time, no one can tell the reason of these phenomena, all people believe these conceptions as a reality. Therefore, some wise persons relied on it to deceive people or make profits and( 不用 and ) even control people's thoughts and souls.In the second place, the main reason, indeed, that why nonmainstream area of inquiry is favored by a few people is that it comforts people who worry about their destinies. Because of they being short of knowledge, many people who experienced tribulations or tragedies wanted to find out a method to solve their pains and make their lives a little better. So they in virtue of some ideas such as astrology, fortune-telling, and psychic, etc to help them. For instance, they might depend on divinations to decide what kind of lives they were fit for, or they imprecated gods for giving their lucks and fortune. It is to say that these methods or fallacies are the spiritual backbones to those people. In the third place, nonmainstream area of inquiry also plays an important role to satisfy people's curiosities about the unknow world. Human naturally is curious about anything they do not know. Ancient did not have knowledge to realize the substance of the nature and the world, so they were wistfully to look for some methods of resolving these phenomena and satisfing the curiosity. Therefore, these nonmainstream disciplines such as astrology, fortune-telling, and psychic and paranormal pursuits were born and had some certain effects to solve and (satisfied) people's curiosities. However, along with the fast development of the technology and knowledge, the substances of these fallacies will be finally found by people.In sum, from what has been discussed above, we may draw the conclusion that though the nonmainstream areas once existed long time and certainly played some roles in development of people's thoughts and society, they will be replaced by modern science and technology ultimately. |
