Should students be skeptical to any knowledge they learn? In my view, with skeptical attitudes to every science benefit to cultivate student's subjective thinking ability so that they further understand the knowledgeable points. Therefore, I agree with the spokesman's assertion that we should cultivate skeptical attitude of students rather than how much they passively accepting.


On the one hand, so-called authorized theories are not absolutely seamless. With the advent of industrial life, people's lives are becoming even more comfortable and convenient following the technologies whose theories trends to be perfected. However, creative and innovate spirits seem to disappear among the students because they think theories on books are absolutely right rather than relatively true. Admittedly, the knowledge on our teaching materials is the accumulation of long term experience of gorgeous celebrities. Yet does it mean we must entirely believe that? I do not think so because such theories and knowledge are made by human, who are kind of animals always make mistakes, thereby, there are some faults on the books that we can not find until now, or temporally accord with natural principles. For example, with most authority the so-called perfect theory "The Evolution Theory" is queried by many scientists, which have been deeply believed by most people as natural basic principles for long periods. Thus this theory is likely to be overturned from books.


On the other hand, student's skepticism helps enhance their abilities of subjective thinking and creative ideas for the reason that with skepticism students hardly believe that everything is not absolutely right or wrong but relatively depends on the circumstances. Therefore, they are willing to ask questions and try to figure out solutions. Admittedly, with the attitudes of skepticism does not amount to totally deny anything they learn, but to discover ways to perfect or consummate original theories. Consider the fact of students who studies history, for the reason that nations have their own benefits, stances and cultural requirements, each of them more or less serves to modify, defame or glorify history. Therefore, students hardly recover the original history so that sometimes they grow to misunderstand the essence of history if they are passively obtaining knowledge what they taught, and more severe, give up their innate skeptical spirits.


Turning next to the contrary side, if students just completely obtain knowledge from rot books, they also do not understand the true essences of the knowledge of theory. Admittedly, our would-be knowledge will largely be enriched by one and one of books, which are totally learned and have a superficial knowledge of that. Therefore, real useful knowledge that can not be found from the surface of books could be applied to practicality serves to be very little. On the contrary, real elites derive from questions once and once again. Moreover, such notions of knowledge will form a deep impression in our mind and can not be deleted as a result. Consider computer science, which address practical use. If students are not willing to ask profession questions after they engage in empirical use, they will never understand how the programming works without teacher's help and depending on the knowledge of books.



In sum, I fundamentally agree with the speaker's assertion that skepticism help students in studying, and further in their whole life. Passive gaining of knowledge is wrong and leads to severe results. Subjectively cultivating students' skepticism plays critical role in current educational system, and thereby, the students can best develop their potentiality.
