Students should bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study. They should question what they are taught instead of accepting it passively.
*************************************
Should Students bring a certain skepticism to whatever they study and question what they are taught? In my opinion, skepticism is the motivation to improve everything, not only because the experience of formers is possibly wrong(这句用not only....but also好不好?是递进的意思,但你这儿用了因为,前后好像没有因果的关系哈), but also social situation is changing every day. For us students, accepting knowledge without questioning is even worse than never learning.
Some people may argue that knowledge, which is established by formers years ago and studied by us today, has sustained a lot of skepticism already and has been refined. The point is, they may want to express, the knowledge is not likely to have serious mistakes. However, I will argue that much knowledge is not examined by formers, because they have no abilities to examine for lack of fundamental knowledge or limitation of social backgrounds. Aristotle, one of the best philosophers in the world, believes that higher-weighed things will drop more quickly than lower-weighed ones do. This theory has been thought to be right and taught to students all over the world. However, after Galileo's experiment on Pizza lean tower, people noticed that Aristotle have made a serious mistake, which has not been corrected throughout thousands of years. Throughout this historical period, why haven't people living all over the world find(found) Aristotle's mistake? I think, this is because some of them had no sufficient knowledge of physics; some of them adored Aristotle's authority, thus cannot believe their discovery that can prove him to be wrong. So, knowledge that formers left is not always right, it need us to doubt it.
Second, I will point out that some of what we study may be right years ago, in the historical situation. However, situation may have changed(最好被动态) today. Franklin Roosevelt, American's 32nd president, once said, "Eternal truths are neither true nor eternal unless they have fresh meanings for new social situation." We can easily find much knowledge(many knowledges) which has(have) been outdated in the text book. For example, in our country, Maoism, which is created by our first president, used to be right when our country suffers a battle against Japan. But after that, it is harmful for the development of country's economics.(这个例子不当,毛泽东思想并没有阻碍中国的发展,而是毛泽东主席后期自己的思想影响了,两个要区分开,而且有时候老外还是很佩服毛泽东的) Then Deng Xiaoping theory replaced it, which promotes economical reform and ultimately makes our country develop in a considerable speed.
To sum up, knowledge we study today may be incorrect for two reasons above. Therefore, it is necessary for us student to bring a certain skepticism to them.(如果结尾的时候列出一个反面观点,然后你再驳一下,会比这样简单的结尾好些.)
这是我的第一篇,比较郁闷.希望大侠们看一下.
