We can usually learn much more from people whose views we share than from people whose views contradict our own; disagreement can cause stress and inhibit learning.
还有一个月就要考了,匆匆上阵,还请多多帮忙指教!想知道自己到底现在有哪些不足,这样抱佛脚也许效果要好些,多谢多谢啦!

How does disagreement, which, in some sense, is seemingly unwelcomed everywhere, function in our life? It is widely argued that on occasions where disagreement exists, stress is unexceptionably aroused by the distinction among people, and thus learning is inhibited. As a conclusion, as is usually maintained, we can learn much more from people whose views we share than from people whose views contradict our own. But considering the multi-consequence brought out by disagreement, I insist that it won't, at least, harm our process of learning, if it doesn't benefit us.
First, it is always the opposite answer that encourages us to re-consider our points of view and perfect them. As is put forward by the chief professor of our department, discussions may function better with more clashes among us students, since "when we share the same belief, we'll have only one conclusion; but if we have more of various points, we may piece them together and form a more complete one." It is true, when we adjust our plans and attitudes towards a problem according to others' viewpoints, we find more of the shortcomings from our initial ones than in the occasions when what we put forward are extraordinarily similar. Thus our minds are enriched and we can get a full appreciation of the problem.
Second, disagreement does not necessarily cause stress as many people believe. The process of learning decides its basic formula totally on itself, while the participants decide what attitude they take towards the process. Why, as I take leave to wonder, should there be such thing as "stress", if everyone in the group takes the position of a learner rather than a debater? Why, in some sense, should we "win" when we're confronted with distinctions? Taking it for granted that disagreement may cause harmful stress, we may make great efforts to avoid this stress, or rather, the uncomfortable feelings that others are against us, rather than to focus on learning itself. So being "pure learners", we should rather appreciate others when they help us to see the other side of the coin.
Last but not the least, even if disagreement may, on some occasions, lead to stress upon the learners, the stress should be beneficial or should at least be turned beneficial psychologically, rather than being taken as a burden. Were it not for the stress upon Hilbert, the great mathematician, to prove his theory to his contemporarians whose comments severely contradict his essays, he would never put forward the distinguished "Hilbert's 23 problems", which have led the world's mathematics research ever since they were published. Stress, if it does exist, functions best when we understand it and take it as the stimulation of our proceeding.
As a conclusion, in terms of learning, disagreement and the stress that might be generated among us won't block our way of learning, and can most possibly be beneficial, if it brings about the perfection of our thoughts and minds. |
