4 "No field of study can advance significantly unless outsiders bring their knowledge and experience to that field of study." W h
The speaker asserts that only when outsiders bring their knowledge and experience to the field of study can a certain field of study advance significantly. I agree insofar as that the development of a certain field need knowledge and experiences, ideals of outsiders. However, in some cases , a study may develop well without the help of outsiders and ,even ,under extreme circumstances too much materials brought by outsiders can impede the advancement of the study.
I concede that knowledge and experiences of outsiders often play a positive role in fields of study. To understand this point of view, one need look no further than the curriculums of university biology, students major in biology are required to study genetics ,botany, zoology, and so on, they have to learn physics which prepare them for the technological respects of a certain biological study , they have too learn biochemistry too, a bound subject of chemistry and biology, this subject prepare the essential knowledge to study the chemical reaction in the cell . The example of the psychological study substantiate this view too: in the field of psychological study, the knowledge of sociology is often employed to reveal the root of certain psychological diseases, we need help of biologist ,who can provide the biological causal and therapy ,too; even experiences of historian are important ,which can help find past solution .
However, I find the assertion problematic in following 2 respects. Firstly some fields of study can advance significantly even without knowledge and experience of outsiders , for example ,painting, the function and objective of it is find release and express the deep feeling and emotion of human being ,thus finally express humanity. In the progress of painting ,without the knowledge of physics ,biology , psychology ,history the artist can still feel can have strong emotional pulse which root in the nature of human., so the study of painting can still survive and develops well .Admittedly,the information of other fields of human endeavor may have a positive influence on the art of painting , but this still do not equal to the speakers assertion .
Secondly, there will be a chilling effect on the development of certain fields of human endeavor if take the assertion too seriously. In a physical study if we employ too much chemist who overstate the importance of chemical factor in this problems then this study risk place undue emphasis on chemistry factor which is a relatively small respect , this will lead to ignorance of the important physical respects .Not long ago a university began a study of a certain biological problem because they want to get a comprehensive understand of that problem they employed many experts from various fields, after a year’s study there is no improvement ,finally the leader of the study dismiss some outsiders and put great emphasis on biology, the study group soon became more efficient, now they have already finish the first step of study . The experience substantiate that overstate the importance of outsiders could have a chilling effect on fields of study which we should take care to avoid.
The assertion has great merits, nowadays it is necessary to use knowledge of other fields in studying of a certain field. however ,in my view , there are certain field of study which can develops well depend on insiders and I think take the speaker’s word too seriously and extremely will impede the proceed of the field. |
