"Universities should require every student to take a variety of courses outside the student's field of study because acquiring knowledge of various academic disciplines is the best way to become truly educated."
(大学应该要求学生学习本专业以外的课程,因为让学生们了解不同学科的知识才是教育的最佳方式。)
Position: Does acquiring various knowledge of different academic disciplines mean the best education? Obviously, the answer is no.
Syllabus:
1.It is true that every academic field have intersects and penetrate each other, the emergence of many brim subjects and intersubjects gave us a persuasive evidence. To learn knowledge of diverse disciplines can shape a person to take a all-round view of think. (think from different dimensions).
eg: History, philosophy, sociology make people to discard bias(prejudice) and fatuous, to think critically and comprehensively. Physics and mathematics can culture abstract and logical thinking. Art and music give us the ability to discover and appreciate beauties in life. All these abilities that we have to acquire in our life, so that we could handle problems freely and skillfully.
2.While learning one's own discipline, to know some knowledge of other subjects can open his academic view which may help to progress his study.
3.But to learn lots of superficial konwledge is better than to master in one field? Surly, no. Some students want to become specialists(experts) in one field, i don't think there's enough time for them to learn various disciplines in limited time.
4.Does every university have the ability to provide students lots of disciplines in different fields?
Summay: University should set various subjects according to its own capability and students' requisition. Students can register what they want to learn and what they take interested in. To learn their own field well, meanwhile, try their best to acquire knowledge in other field will be a compromise propose.

Does acquiring various knowledge of different academic disciplines mean the best education? Obviously, the answer is no. The speaker just make a one-handed conclusion that it's a best way of education by acquiring knowledge of various academic disciplines.
To begin with, it is true that every academic field have intersects and penetrate each other, the emergence of many brim subjects and intersubjects gave us a persuasive evidence. To learn knowledge of diverse disciplines can culture a person to form sorts of abilities and take a all-roun view of think. For example, History, philosophy and sociology make people to discard bias and fatuous, to think critiacally and comprehensively. Physics and mathematics can culture abstract and logical thinking, which can help person to make a right dicision. Art and music give us the ability to discover and apprciate beauties in life. All these abilities that we have to acquire in our life, in order to handle problems freely and skillfully. Just learn something about one's field, is undoubtably not enough. It will limite one's way of thinking, which may not good for his study, even hinder it. While learning one's own discipline, to knwo some knowledge of other subjects can open his academic view which may help to progress his study. For instance, an ecnomist may not have a great breakthrough without bringing in mathematics knwoledge, and if he doesn't know anything about the rule of development of society, he mayn't success in his study. Many winners of Nobel Ecnomic Prize once have backgroud of mathematics or philosophy, etc. So it's very important for people to learn some knowledge about other fields.
Secondly, is it better to learn lots of superficial knowledge than to master in one field? Surly, no. Some students want to become experts in one field in future, i don't think there's enough time for them to spend so much time on various disciplines in limited time.
Finally, does every university have the ability to provide students lots of discipline in different fields? Many universities may have financial problem, or becasue of the lackness of teachers' abilities and so on, that prevent them to serve students with lots of different subjects.
In my opinion, universities should set various subjects according to its own capability and students' requisition. Students can register what they want to learn and what they take interested in. To learn their own field well, meanwhile, try their best to acquire knowledge in other field will be a compromise propose (proposal).
