Are liberal arts really "heavy"? Don't be influenced by Zhang Xuefeng, the importance of liberal arts is self-evident
In today's society, the recognition and value of liberal arts majors have always been controversial. Especially recently, some remarks have questioned and belittled liberal arts, which has sparked widespread discussion and controversy. However, both from the perspective of the field of education and from the perspective of social development and progress, the liberal arts major plays a vital role, and its importance is self-evident.
First of all, liberal arts majors are the cornerstone of building social ideas and social operating mechanisms. The development of human society is inseparable from the guidance of ideas and the construction of social mechanisms, and this is the field in which liberal arts majors are good at. For example, law, economics, management disciplines, philosophy, history and other disciplines are all important parts of the liberal arts, and their existence and development are essential to the stability and progress of society. These disciplines all have strict disciplinary thresholds and research methods, and are also irreplaceable. Just because they are different from science and engineering cannot be disparaged as "licking".
Second, although liberal arts majors do not seem to directly create wealth, the value they indirectly generate is immeasurable. For example, the cultural and artistic industry, such as **, film and television dramas, **painting, etc., not only has a strong ability to attract money, but also has been widely recognized by the society. These industries are still developing at a rapid pace and have made a huge contribution to economic development. Like the popular history bloggers at the moment, they have showcased their professional knowledge and talent through new media methods, attracting the attention and pursuit of many audiences. Liberal arts majors are also the main providers of content on major online platforms, and they silently contribute basic traffic and wisdom.
In addition, liberal arts majors also have a clear advantage in the public sector. The liberal arts major covers a wide range of disciplines, including literature, history, philosophy, art, etc., and the comprehensive quality and professional skills cultivated by these disciplines make liberal arts students have a unique advantage in the public school. For example, in terms of writing and expression, liberal arts students often have years of training and have good writing skills and expression skills, which are indispensable in public education. Second, liberal arts majors tend to have an in-depth understanding and solid expertise in laws, regulations, and policy documents. In addition, liberal arts majors also have certain advantages in social management and public service. All these make liberal arts students stand out in the public *** and successfully go ashore.
However, liberal arts majors also face some dilemmas and challenges. First, the humanities often do not directly create economic benefits, and many values are difficult to measure. For example, if you interpret an ancient text or oracle bone inscription, you may only get a ** return, and the monetary benefits are not much, and there is a lack of direct return path. In addition, the level of respect for liberal arts professions in society needs to be improved. In terms of copyright protection, liberal arts professions also face many problems, once the best-selling works may face the problem of piracy for a long time, the value of labor is easily discounted. Therefore, society needs to re-recognize the value of liberal arts and give it enough respect and support. Only in this way can we truly realize the equality and justice of labor value.
In addition, the current employment situation is extremely severe, making the public *** the first choice for many people. Liberal arts majors tend to have a distinct advantage in the public sector. This is because liberal arts majors cover a wide range of subject areas, including literature, history, philosophy, art, etc., and the comprehensive quality and professional skills cultivated by these disciplines make liberal arts students have a unique advantage in the public sector. For example, when it comes to writing and expression, liberal arts students tend to have years of training and have good writing skills and expression skills, which are essential in the public sector. In addition, liberal arts majors also have a clear advantage in their understanding and application of laws, regulations, and policy documents. Therefore, it is too frivolous to think that liberal arts majors are just "licking".
In conclusion, the importance of liberal arts majors is self-evident. As the cornerstone of constructing social ideology and social operation mechanism, liberal arts majors occupy an important position in the field of education, and also play an important role in social development and progress. Every discipline has its own meaning and value, and there is no need to be presumptuous. In the era of information, the development of liberal arts majors requires more innovation and originality, as well as a more fair and favorable environment to protect the rights and interests of creators. Only when the society can re-recognize the value of liberal arts and give enough respect and support can we promote the healthy development of liberal arts and bring more value and contribution to society.
