ISSUE132 - "The university community consists of three different worlds-the sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences. Because each world operates on its own assumptions and has its own special habits of thinking, rarely is there meaningful interaction among the sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences."

The science, the humanities, and the social sciences, known as three different worlds in the university community, closely related together and there are meaningful interactions among these realms. Although each of them operates on its own assumptions and has its own special habits of thinking as the title statement point out, they actually have common resource and share some general research methods and disciplines.

To begin with, at the very early stage of human history, ancient people call what they have learned "knowledge"  as a whole instead of dividing it into these three worlds. Ancient Greek philosophers, for example Aristotle, had acquired all kinds of knowledge, and had developed a profound and comprehensive understanding of human lives and the world of the time. The great works of these philosophers covered many different subjects, such as philosophy, logic, physics, biology, etc. These masterpieces laid the fundament of almost all the subjects today and paved the way for further study. Ancient people viewed these philosophers as the embodiment of wisdom. However, people of the time had no idea about the division of the science, the humanity and the social science, they simply called all they had learned knowledge.

As the accumulation and abundance of knowledge, people found it necessary to divide this ever-increasing knowledge into three areas--the science, the humanities, and the social sciences. Because none of us, even the most intelligent one, could grasp all the knowledge gained by mankind. This division is helpful to the further study and profound research of each area and enable groups of people to focus on their own realm. Under this circumstance, specialists appeared, and they propelled the increasing of knowledge and they establish some special methods within their own world.

However, the division does not mean that these three worlds are not related. On the contrary, they have close relation and they are inseparable. For example, modern economists, who deal with issues in the social science, could not analyze economic phenomena effectively without the theories of mathematics, which is the fruit of science. Similarly, a scientist in physics might resort to some philosophic disciplines and use logical thinking, which might belong to humanity. Generally speaking, the theories and methodologies in philosophy could been applied to all the research and practical activities of these three worlds, and the research of all these areas in its turn test these philosophic theories. More specifically, Da Vinci, as a great painter, his broad and deep knowledge about anatomy, geometry and perspective made his paintings more reality and contain scientific rational. These cases illustrate the common point that there are meaningful and useful interactions as well as general method among these three world. The interactions connect them together and make them promote mutually and develop harmony. It is unwise for any specialist could not neglect these significant interactions and merely know their own area.

For all these reasons, one does not have to go very far to see that these three worlds, the sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences, actually have common resource and share some general research methods. Obviously, their significant and meaningfu interactions make their mutual promotion and complement possible and necessary.

The science, the humanities, and the social sciences, known as three different worlds in the university community, closely related together and there are meaningful interactions among these realms(感觉后半分句放在首段末尾作为结论更鲜明). Although each of them operates on its own assumptions and has its own special habits of thinking as the title statement point(s) out, they actually have common resource and share some general research methods and disciplines.

To begin with, at the very early stage of human history, ancient people call what they have learned "knowledge"  as a whole instead of dividing it into these three worlds. Ancient Greek philosophers, for example（建议用typical of 或者epitomized of） Aristotle, had acquired all kinds of knowledge, and had developed a profound and comprehensive understanding of human lives and the world of the time. The great works of these philosophers covered many different subjects, such as philosophy, logic, physics, biology, etc. These masterpieces laid the fundament of almost all the subjects today and paved the way for further study. Ancient people viewed these philosophers as the embodiment of wisdom. However, people of the time had no idea about the division of the science, the humanity and the social science, （缺少连词）they simply called all they had learned knowledge. （为了减少跑题的嫌疑，可以用一句话具体点出出伟人拥有的复合型知识确实共同起了作用；因为不排除一个人拥有的众多才能在某方面彼此不相干）

As（建议用with） the accumulation and abundance of knowledge, people found it necessary to divide this ever-increasing knowledge into three areas--the science, the humanities, and the social sciences. Because none of us, even the most intelligent one, could grasp all the knowledge gained by mankind. This division is helpful to the further study and profound research of each area and enable groups of people to focus on their own realm. Under this circumstance, specialists appeared, and they propelled(时态一致) the increasing of knowledge and they(建议省略掉这个主语) establish some special methods within their own world.

However, the division does not mean that these three worlds are not related. On the contrary, they have close relation and they(建议省略掉这个主语) are inseparable. For example, modern economists, who deal with issues in the social science, could not analyze economic phenomena effectively without the theories of mathematics, which is the fruit of science.（可以把经济学的例子进一步扩展成囊括social science and humanity的情形，更有典型性） Similarly, a scientist in physics might resort to some philosophic disciplines and use（建议employ） logical thinking, which might belong to humanity（如果能加上这样做的好处，例子的展开会更充分）. Generally speaking, the theories and methodologies in philosophy could been（be） applied to all the research and practical activities of these three worlds, and the research of all these areas in its turn test these philosophic theories. More specifically, Da Vinci, as a great painter, his broad and deep knowledge about anatomy, geometry and perspective made his paintings more reality(appealing) and contain scientific rational(ms只能形容词). These cases illustrate the common point that there are meaningful and useful interactions as well as general method among these three world. The interactions connect them together and make them promote mutually and develop （with） harmony. It is unwise for any specialist could not neglect these significant interactions and merely know their own area(末句逻辑混乱). 本段的例子很有说服力。

For all these reasons, one does not have to go very far（建议用further） to see that these three worlds, the sciences, the humanities, and the social sciences, actually have common resource and share some general research methods(尽管回应很重要，但这种简单的重复容易造成审美疲劳). Obviously, their significant and meaningfu interactions make their mutual promotion and complement possible and necessary.

这篇习作的文风与我曾经阅读的一篇范文类似，lz仿写的尝试值得学习，使整个文章有历史感。
不过就这篇文章而言，还是建议背景知识只作为原因之一不应花费过多笔墨，第三段可以一批带过。重点要放在学科分工后的相互关联性，因为这一点更有矛盾性和复杂性，是issue要考察的理解重点。

本人知无不言，言无不尽。若有只言片语尚可参考，方已欣慰之至。
