The speaker asserts that students who question and criticize do little to promote social harmony. In my opinion, I concede that there might be some social harmony that unnecessarily being affected by students due to figure the social problems. But generally speaking, education do not encourage students to question and criticize only, it teaches students to think logically, brings up creativity as well as knowledge and skills. What's more, education also requires students to self-discipline, be consideration which might lead to a better social harmony. Even there is social problems brought out by students, do they produce them? Hidden risk always the most dangerous of the society. If no one picks them out and manages to solve them, social problems may be incubated and grow to serious hazard.

The benefit of education do not limit to enhance the single ability of ask question and produce contrary opinion, it also sharpen students' mind and broaden understanding. Students may became a more rational and creative person from good education. Take mathematics as an example, students may get a comprehensive idea through the math course while they are studying and practicing how to calculate, choose strategies to solve problems or approach to the best solution. Education also provides a variety of benefits to the social harmony for which it improves the personal behavior for each individual in the society. Psychology might be an apt explanation towards how education develops the humanity of students. Students learn the importance of the integrity of personality, through which, they will learn to become a better self-discipline person. While teachers emphasis that consular should care more about people who asks for help, students intrinsically became more consideration.

Even we concede that students raise problems to the society that brings into more anxious to people, including citizens and political leaders, insight into social phenomena and reveal social problem may not always be a disaster. Students major in economics observe the financial risk, and the problems get their chance to be solved. Social science courses inspire students look into reality from which latency problems might be discovered. Dealing with problems before they breaking out, always be one of the most important peace-keeping factors in our society. It is true that students might reveal the fact that was supposed to be covered from publics. When the U.S. Pentagon's missile defense system experienced a Y2K-related malfunction during the first few hours of the new millennium, this fact was not expected to be disclosed until the problem had been solved. However, this requires more wisdom to distinguish whether it is suitable to reveal.

In conclusion, education does not necessarily produce critical thinking and horrible questions in the society; it also contributes its own efforts to the society. While asking questions and criticizing may affect the social stability, it also provide chance for the society to fix itself, through which, the social harmony gets promoted. In the mean time, we also need to aware that education not always brings in positive question and criticize. Anti-society point of view exists in the dark side of society which violates the peace and stable of the social environment. All we need to do is not only improve the education and well use the product of education, but also control and cut down the negative ones.
