Zhang Xuefeng once sparked a big debate with a number of teachers from 985 colleges and universities in this year's 2023 National College Admissions Examination in order not to let a high-scoring student enroll in journalism. Zhang Xuefeng's remarks once again attracted people's attention and controversy on the eve of the upcoming graduate school entrance examination in six months. Zhang Xuefeng is a graduate school entrance counselor, he is very familiar with universities across the country, and he is very familiar with the situation of major majors, so he has always been helping his students so that they can be admitted to the school they want smoothly. His professional tutoring and tutoring are well received by students and parents. But some people have questioned Mr. Zhang's claims, saying it was irresponsible. Opinions on their chosen disciplines and research orientations also vary.
Liberal arts colleges are not "licking" careers, and the controversy is hotly debated.
Zhang Xuefeng once mentioned in an interview that the future careers of liberal arts and science students are all in the service industry, which is generally "licking". As soon as these words came out, they immediately attracted a wave of opposition. They feel that the College of Arts and Sciences is actually not as bad as Zhang Xuefeng said. Humanities and social sciences cover a wide range of disciplines, not limited to the service industry. For example, a deeper exploration of human existence and meaning is a very useful work. Taking Lu Xun as an example, they argued that the humanities are not only a service discipline, but also have certain social influence and theoretical significance.
Not only netizens, but even teachers from many colleges and universities have spoken out and refuted Zhang Xuefeng's statement. They felt that Zhang Xuefeng's remarks were purely grandstanding, and there was not enough authority and accurate career guidance. A media expert believes that what Zhang Xuefeng said is actually "licking traffic", relying on exaggerated language to attract people's attention, and does not really have the strength of teaching and tutoring. Another teacher pointed out that the humanities are not as "watery" as Zhang Xuefeng said, but in fact, the humanities are more for creation and development, and rely more on the natural sciences.
Zhang Xuefeng's reflection on the battle of words and the importance of disagreement.
Zhang Xuefeng was divided into two factions by the comments of netizens, and he was very helpless. It's not because he's a consultant that he says that. He didn't see anything wrong with that, and the pros and cons were just looking at the issue from different perspectives. He believes that there is nothing inferior or noble for different professions, and there is nothing bad about the service industry. Some people who already have an "inferiority complex" for liberal arts students can easily be misinterpreted, which can lead to arguments.
The debate sparked by Zhang Xuefeng's argument reflects the long-standing debate between the liberal arts and sciences. Many liberal arts students feel that their subjects are not being properly evaluated, and as a result, they are very disgusted by the slander and slander of others. However, when they graduated, they realized that what Zhang Xuefeng said was right. A lot of industries that look high-end are based on the service industry. Teachers, medical staff, etc., fundamentally speaking, are all for others, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Conclusion: There is no difference between the arts and sciences, and mutual respect should be respected.
In today's society, the debate between the arts and sciences continues. In terms of work and social status, more and more people value science, while the humanities are increasingly excluded. But when we go deeper into something, we see that both the humanities are actually inseparable from service. We need to respect each other's decisions and not have any prejudices or pressures.
There is no difference between the arts and sciences, and each has its own value and role. Middle school students and their parents who are confused about career planning should consider more rationally and give correct guidance. Each major has its own development direction and its own hobbies, so you should maintain an objective mindset when evaluating and don't blindly chase those "red" and "high-income" professions.
At the same time, equal emphasis should be placed on arts and sciences. No matter what department you choose, you should do your best to improve your Xi level and make your own contribution to society. Each has its own unique role in academic research, artistic creation or service industry.
