TOPIC: ISSUE157 - "There is no such thing as purely objective observation. All observation is subjective; it is always guided by the observer's expectations or desires."

Is all the observations on the world are subjective because they all guided by the observer’s expectations or desires? Admittedly, most of the observations are subjective, meanwhile, there are also some objective ones.
In account of the observer's expectations or desires added to the observation, many of the observations are not objective ones. Just as W. William Shakespeare said, the famous writer of “Hamlet” said (and I paraphrased), "In 1,000 readers eyes has 1,000 Hamlet." Because each person has his or her extraordinary background including the study and work experience, the circumstance, the affairs pass through and so forth. How can we demand all the six millions people in the world to have only one ideal on the fact? If so, there is no competitions, no conflicts and all seams to be in harmony, though looked well, I consider there is no development of the society any more for everyone is comfortable with the situation.
However, there still some objective observations around us which reflect the truth of the world and lead us a better understanding of the world. When talk about the science subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry and so forth, the theories explain the nature phenomenons are the so called objective ones. For instance, the Three Laws of Motion founded by Isaac Newton covers up the inside principle of many kinematical phenomenon of the world and it has no relationship with Newton's own expectations and desires. The periodic table of elements founded by Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev in 1869 recovers the inside relationship of the Chemistry elements. All the theories list above are significant of us today and what is more, they are all objective.
In some conditions, the subjective observations can work well with the objective ones. Let us still take the nature science as examples, after the scientists found the secret of the phenomenon, people always expand the theories by taking them into practice. Such as the automobiles and the planes which play a significant role in our daily life, are based on the Three Laws of Motion. Or a report in the newspaper, it usually have the describe of the affaire in the beginning and the effect given by the writer followed, which is definitely subjective one can make us better understanding the whole affaire and do better in the future.
To sum up, the observation is an objective or a subjective one is not the point of the thing, whether it can contribute to the development of society and us human beings is the point we should really concentrate on.
先自我批判一下,虽然是限时写的,但文中涉及到的专业名词和人名都是后来查的,还有很多拼写错误,还有开头和结尾太仓促了~ |
