During the longstanding process of cognizing the world, human beings is exploring actively in various fields and uncovering the mysterious veil of our world step by step. The increasing accumulated knowledge of diverse disciplines changs not only the way we perceive the world and ourselves but also the means we interact with the world.
Knowledge in atomic physics changes the way we view the objective world and presents us with a vivid microworld. To our distant ancestors, the world was simpley appeared as what they saw, touched, and heard. However, by way of knowledge in atomic physics, we learned that the matter is comprised of atoms, which further are comprised of protons, neutrons and electrons. Then we discover the even more basic unit of matter called quark. It is impossible and incredible for our ancestors to realize the true world by naked eyes but we change the notion that superstitious notion that each species was specially created. Since by study of atomic physics, we understand that all the species including human race are comprised of such little particles.
Studing in genetics transforms the way people view themselves. Thinking genetically convinces us that the genome--the complete, 80,000-or-so genes twisting around on the double helixs in our cells --is our deck of tarot cards, fortelling the personality and our health, how we live and how we will die. Genetics uncovers the inherited information and life codes for us which affects how people view themselves and the relationship with their parents.
Moreover, the study in academic disciplines not only presrnts us with a so vivid perspective about the universe but also changs the way we interact with our reliable world. By knowledge of the genetics, we have discovered many disease genes that lurk in the twists and bends of our DNA, which extremely help us draw out the oringinal reason of some diseases.Through the study in genetics, we believe that we human race would overcome cancer by genetic techonology in the future. In a word, we should adopt new mentods to deal with the problems corresponding to the changed perception.
In summary, knowledge of diverse disciplines renders us what the true world is and during the process of cognizing the world, we learn the way how to construct and create our reliable world.
