------题目------
issue118. "In any field of endeavor------the sciences, the humanities, the social sciences, industry, etc.------it is not the attainment of a goal that matters, but rather the ideas and discoveries that are encountered on the way to the goal."
------提纲------
B1. 在文艺方面,艺术家关注的是创作过程中出现的新思路,新发现
B2. 对于社会科学而言,亦是如此,关注过程多于结果
B3. 但在科学技术方面,结果却是最重要的
------正文------
People are always arguing about that whether the result of endeavor is more vital than the process of that. With the answers' diversity, the polemic is never halting. We would like to assert that attaining to the goal and the proceeding to the goal are both important which depend on the qualities of fields one encounter to cope with.
For humanities, such as arts and literature, the true matter is learning through the way to the goal, and the marrow of which is not simply the final results but the process of the creating. Claude Monet, the greatest impressionist, once intended to depict the cathedral, with renting the attic of a bouquet which just faced to the cathedral. He fixed 7 tripods simultaneously to paint at the different time with different perspectives. What Monet focused on is the discoveries through his observation of the cathedral and waited for the sudden burst of inspiration, and then recorded them immediately. Arts and literature just as the recorder help people to recognize the world around us, the main aim of which is to show the ideas and discoveries through the path to the goal.
Social science as well, put its pivot along the way of endeavor. Due to social science is the kind of science to research the relationship between human beings and the society, it has its own necessity to uncover the troubles during the procedure when they begin a research. The attainment is not the destiny but the ideas acquired on the step to the finale are the basic request. Archeologists never think of the attainment of an archeological activity, instead of which they pursue their outdoor research to explore more evidences of the earliest ancestors and determine the origin of the human being. Although the media report the result of the researches again and again, the researches never ended, in that archeologists always discover much earlier ancestors' fossil of footprints or tools they used. As we discussed above, such as humanities and social science, the fields related to the society focusing more on the way to the results.
However, industry and science concentrated to the attainment of the goal, which attributes to the quality of these fields that, as the research begins, it has already got a definite target to the experiment. As Edison invented bulb, what was his goal? Let people get more lights instead of candles; as Bell invented telephone, what was his goal? Let people communicate distantly instead of face to face; as Watt invented the evaporator, what was his goal? Let machines generate automatically instead of drudges' efforts. Because the directed goal lays front of the researchers, their activities on science are going under these conductions. The ideas and discoveries are the servants to the attainment throughout the researches. For scientists and engineers, they are more often to put their points of view on the results they get at last rather than the proceedings they covers.
In sum, it is the matter for disciplines as science and industry to focus on the attainment to the goal, while for domains as humanities and social science to concentrate to the process as it attributes to the different qualities of the different fields.
