TOPIC: ISSUE47 - "Society does not place enough emphasis on the intellect-that is, on reasoning and other cognitive skills."
WORDS: 393          TIME: 0:45:00          DATE: 2007-3-25

Does society pay enough attention to the intellect? The author asserts not, however, in my years of observation and experience, the answer to such question is a definite yes.

To better understand such issue, it is necessary to give a clear definition about intellect. As far as I know, intellect is just the capability to absorb knowledge and effective information available, and then make beneficial use of them to achieve self goal. That is to say, intellect includes two parts, reasoning and cognitive ability, as the author has mentioned. For both parts, the society seems have placed enough emphasis.

First, both reasoning and cognitive skills have been emphasized in our educational system. For one thing, as we well know, ever since kindergarten, we are taught by teachers and parents how to obtain knowledge on diverse subjects, which is the very meaning of cognitive skills. For example, when we learn the subject biology, we are required to do lots of experiments, through which we get to know how to find the truth around us, thus cognitive skills being cultivated.

For another thing, reasoning is well focused in schools. When we learn some implemental subjects like math, we are not only detailedly given how all the equations are fine-drawn, but also required to keep practising such process. Moreover, lots of activities, such as debates, consciously designed by schools, are excellent methods to develop students' reasoning skills. Gradually, from such training, our reasoning skills have been improved, no matter whether we realize it or not.

Furthor, the whole society also place much emphasis on intellect. Trough media communication, our society pass diverse information to citizens, from which the citizens' ability on effective cognition and reasoning is firmed. For example, the Discovery series are telling people how some unknown fields have been researched and studied. The popular Japanese cartoon Detective Konan is another good example to make children know better about reasoning and cultivate their passions to do such reasoning in their own lives.  All in all, the society does have noticed the significance of intellect, including reasoning and cognitive skills, and is trying every methods and ways to improve people's intellectual level.

To sum up, in a whole, both our schools and the whole society has placed enough emphasis to intellect, including reasoning and cognitive skills, which makes the society enjoy a quick and healthy development.
