TOPIC: ISSUE112 - "Some educational systems emphasize the development of students' capacity for reasoning and logical thinking, but students would benefit more from an education that also taught them to explore their own emotions."

With the development of the society, more and more attention is paid to the spiritual life having relevance to the human nature as curiosity and courage, hard work and honesty, of people. In this sense, education, one of the main purposes as teaching the students logical thinking, addressing with the crucial problems existed in the society, should concentrate on the exploration of students' emotions.

Admittedly, logical thinking and reasoning, the prerequisites of dealing with problems in vast fields are indispensible in the education to students. It is the rational thinking help students to the truth and axiom. Any progress in science needs the prudent and comprehensive thinking time and again. The string theory, a result of thinking after the quantum theory and principles of relativity, is the accumulation of the logical thinking by people. The same holds true when it comes to business. The logical thinking and appropriate judgment to the needs of consumers and the demand of the market is propitious to the development of the company. Thus, in order to the further success, the education should prepare the students with logical thinking and reasoning.

However, over emphasizing on the rational development instead of the emotional progress may limit their imagination and inhibit the innovation. Consider the progress in art, especially paintings which add much personal elements of the artist. If Monet was educated with too much logical thinking and reasoning, impressionism may not exist nowadays. And we cannot enjoy the sunrise with blue color. If Pollock was educated to use brash and easel, as general people think, not other tools, no dripping paint on the floor can emerge. People's emotion is significant to inspire them and lend credence to innovation. Through the exploration of emotion, modern education will propel the emergence of elites.


On the other hand, students with abundant emotion can adapt themselves to the rapidly developed society and thus contribute more to the society. People without the emotional quality cannot communicate well with others, especially in this era needing more cooperation. One should keep the harmonious relationship with families at home as well as communicate with colleagues effectively in the work. Due to the excellent relationship with others, one can devote more energy and contribute more to the society. Thus, the significance of exploration to emotion of students is evident and obvious. Without the guidance in school, students may turn to the extreme: suffer from depression and even choose death as a solution. Like the Carothers, who spread the nylon to the industry, should have created other miracles for human beings suicide for the reason that inability to keep well with others. Avoid the happenings of the history again, the positive attitude and healthy emotion should be educated.


All in all, the education without the reasoning and logical thinking likes the dish without vegetables and meat; the education without explored emotion is the dish without seasoning. Thus, only balancing the reasoning, logical thinking and the exploration of emotion can we reap a bumper harvest.
