The common sense told us that the development of the academic disciplines changed the human life in the all aspects. When it comes to the function of the academic disciplines to the spiritual level of human beings, I strongly agree with the author that the academic disciplines alter the way we perceive the world. All disciplines can be divided in two groups: scientific disciplines and the artistic disciplines. Both of the two types of disciplines changed the way we look at the world around us as well as ourselves.
The scientific disciplines changed the way we look at the material world around us. In fact, there are numerous phenomenon in the world act as a mirage in front of human beings, as the mechanism below them is not correspondent the appearance of them. In this concern the development of the science helps us understand them. After this progress, naturally, we would look at those things in another way. Before the rapid development of the modern science, as human beings could not explain many phenomenons, they turned to the God, and when this kind of idea went further, the superstition emerged. Rain and thunder are cases in point. Before people have learned the mechanism of them, they can only be explained by the God theory and something alike. Mirage is another vivid example, before people noticed it is the result of the fraction of the light, they tend to believe that it was created by some evils. As mentioned above the science helps us get more profound understand of the world.
Is it true only the science changed the aspects we look at the world? I tend to give a negative response, as the artistic disciplines also changed our attitude to the world in another concern: they give us inspiration and act as the pabulum for us. The famous picture sunflower created by Van Gogh is a case in point. In front of this picture, we can get energy from the blowing flower with deep color. The sprawling and the color of the sunflower depicted in this work illustrated that we should spare no effort to strive in our life! When ones get frustration, it is better for him to have a listen to the fate created by the Beethoven, the rhythm of which incites us the life is a wonderful journey, there are numerous frustrations as well as happiness in it, what you should do is to try your best to deal with the challenges you entered. While the famous work Mona Lisa tells us there are numerous beautiful items in the world, it is not a good choice to focus on the negative aspects of our life.
As all discussed above, different disciplines enlighten us in different aspects about how to perceive the world around as well as ourselves. But during the progress the reality of the world does not change. It is the disciplines we learned give us another eye to look at the world.
