TOPIC: ISSUE4 - "No field of study can advance significantly unless outsiders bring their knowledge and experience to that field of study."
WORDS: 475 TIME: 0:49:22 DATE: 2007-4-6
Concerning the status quo of scientific researches, and the like, it is easily to find that outsiders' knowledge and experience have played an active role in advancement of a certain field, especially significant advancement. Thus, I strongly agree with the speaker's assertion that no field of study can advance significantly unless outsiders bring their knowledge and experience to that field of study.
To begin with, when it comes to the science researches, isolation leads to stagnation. After all, the advanced development of one field has prevailed for several years in the past. Thus, its theories are sufficiently profound and practical methods are especially advanced. This situation results in a dilemma to that field, just like a grain trap in the thinnest neck of flask. At this time, other fields' knowledge would be of great help to promote the "grain" get through that dilemma. For example, earlier in the 1970s' geology itself attained its most achievement. However, it stopped its step, particularly in the respect of prospecting petroleum. At that time, physics' achievement is also great and it was difficult for it to move on too. Then, some professors of physics tried to use their theories to help geologists. In that case, the geophysics turned out, which help both of physics and geology get out of dilemma. Moreover, what brought about by geophysics is new discovery of much petroleum. Accordingly, we should encourage the marriage of different disciplines, which is not only good for these disciplines themselves, but also of great value to a society as a whole.
Furthermore, the collaboration and cooperation of different fields can be of large help for us to examine one thing completely and thoroughly. For instance, the born of clone species has brought great panic to studiers of ethics. What they think is that this technology would lead to predicament to people and society as well. If one person has a clone body, what does he/she call the new same body as him/her? brother/sister, or child? However, doctors regard this technology as a milestone to their field. It helps them to cure patients whose some organ is worse off. In the similar way, patients make profits from this technology. Thus, although different opinions exist towards clone, it is these different opinions that help us to get a conclusion that, clone technology itself is good, however, when it comes to its usage, the different goals determine whether it is a beneficial one or a harmful one. In short, different voices coming from each side can help people to discern one thing thoroughly.
In conclusion, people of one certain field cannot and should not deny the benefits brought by outsiders. What they should do is to get more knowledge from other fields to make their fields more prosperous, meanwhile bring their knowledge to other fields to help others to develop effectively and greatly. |
