Issue68. People make the mistake of treating experts with suspicion and mistrust, no matter how valuable their contributions might be.
__________________________________________________________
Nowadays, we live in a rapidly developing society which is laden with information. Lots of newspapers and magazines pursue the statement delivered by the experts in any area and this made us easily to find the attitudes which are hold by them about the current top affairs or their personal lives in the internet. With the great growth of the free press, more and more people doubt the attitudes of the experts. However, the speaker hold the opinion that people make the mistake of treating experts with suspicion and mistrust, no matter how valuable their contributions might be, and I can hardly completely agree with his statement.
As is known to all, science is very broad, and the knowledge of experts is limited. Hence, we may reasonably doubt about their opinions. For instance, some of the table-tennis coaches who are experts in this field for a long time in our country often want to say something about the football team. Should we adopt their attitude without a careful thought? And also some famous novelists usually point out their opinions about the defects of the Chinese film in a layman’s word. Should not we suspect their outlooks? I think the doubt at this time can make us see the problem more clearly. Otherwise, we are more likely to the chasing-star-fans who make a perfect fetish of the popular star.
In addition, the experts are the normal people too. So they may also make mistakes. The experts, who are young without enough experiences, although very clever, may make the mistake. The experts who are too old may make the mistake because of the decrease of intellect. Even the experts who are well-experienced and still have a high intellect may make the simplest mistake just due to their careless. If the attitude made by the expert has not been well suspected, it may inhabit the development of science or mislead the main people in the society. Take the middle century Europe for example. At that time, people are misguided by the old experts in the science field. They together with the religionist told the public that the sun goes around the earth which is a flat. The fallacy made the science of the human history stop growing for nearly 3 centuries. How dangerous it is! Today we live in a democratic world, and we should make better use of the free suspicion to have more careful thoughts about the opinion made by the experts in order to pursue the truth for prohibiting the same thing from happening again.
Moreover, the attitude of suspicion can not only make us understand the knowledge correctly, and more clearly, but it can also provide a circumstance in which experts will think the problem more carefully and be chary of their opinions. Therefore, with the high responsibility to the society, they are more likely to discover the new things in any subject.
To sum up, I do not agree with the speaker’s statement. The real science should be precise and it can undergo the test of suspicion. The experts will also learn more in the atmosphere which has enough suspicions, and we should study with the suspected attitude, just like many famous educators said: “think more and ask more ‘why’ when studying.”
