In a recent live broadcast, Mr. Zhang Xuefeng made a general comment on the liberal arts major with his unique straightforward and humorous style. He used "licking" to summarize the liberal arts, which not only made the audience laugh dumbly, but also set off a heated discussion on the Internet. Today, we're going to dive into the education and career choices behind this controversial topic and ignite a spark for thought.
Teacher Zhang Xuefeng's comments are indeed sharp and playful. His expression and tone of voice when he mimicked the working conditions of the liberal arts industry could make people laugh out loud. However, behind this laughter, how many helplessness and reflections of liberal arts students and practitioners are hidden?
The reaction on the web was swift and strong. Some people agree with what Mr. Zhang said, believing that many liberal arts majors do have problems such as employment difficulties and low income. They believe that choosing a liberal arts major can be challenging, requiring more effort and opportunities in terms of career development than other majors.
However, there are also people who vehemently refute that the liberal arts major has cultivated many talents with strong critical thinking and high comprehensive quality. They firmly believe that the study of liberal arts can cultivate people's in-depth exploration of human society, history, culture, and artistic aesthetics, and improve the humanistic quality of individuals.
In the midst of this storm of rhetoric, we cannot ignore the liberal arts professors who have spoken out. They resolutely pointed out: "Liberal arts is not 'licking', but an in-depth excavation of human society, history, culture, and artistic aesthetics." "Their voices remind us that when evaluating a profession, we need to take a holistic view, not just looking at the immediate benefits, but also considering its long-term impact on the individual and society.
This debate actually touches on a deeper topic: what exactly should education and career choices be based on?Market trends are important, but individual interests, abilities, and long-term career planning cannot be overlooked
The essence of education is to cultivate students' abilities and qualities, and help them become independent thinkers and innovative people. As educators, we should respect students' right to choose and encourage them to choose majors and careers based on their interests and long-term plans.
For students, they should become the designers of their own destiny and not blindly follow the so-called "hits". When choosing a major, consider not only employment prospects and income levels, but also your interests and talents. Only in this way can you truly find your place in your career and reach your full potential.
For educators, we take our responsibilities seriously. When expressing your opinion in public, think twice and be thoughtful. After all, our rhetoric has the potential to mislead the audience and cause unnecessary controversy. As educators, we should focus on conveying positive values, guiding students to think correctly, and constantly stimulating their potential and creativity.
From the controversy of teacher Zhang Xuefeng's "licking" theory, we can see the complexity of the issue of education and career choice. Everyone has their own unique experiences and perspectives, and issues cannot be reduced to black and white, right and wrong.
When evaluating a profession, we must be objective and impartial. We should not only look at the superficial phenomenon, but also have an in-depth understanding of the connotation and development prospects of the profession. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the interests and abilities of the individual, as well as their own adaptability. Only by making a choice based on comprehensive consideration can we avoid blindness and disorientation.
When it comes to career planning, we need to weigh it more carefully. Career choices determine the direction of our future lives and developments, and they are not decisions that can be made lightly and hastily. We should fully understand our strengths and weaknesses, clarify our interests and goals, and use them as a basis for career planning and strive to move towards our goals.
When communicating an idea, we need to consider its impact. The power of speech is enormous, especially for educators, and it is important to convey opinions and values with care. We should focus on transmitting positive energy, guiding students to look at things correctly, and cultivating their diverse thinking and sense of innovation.
Although Mr. Zhang Xuefeng's live broadcast was unique and controversial, it also invisibly prompted the public to launch a more in-depth and comprehensive discussion on education and future development direction. This controversy tells us that education should not only pursue utilitarianism and popularity, but also focus on cultivating students' personality and diversified development.
As students, we need to believe in our choices and work hard for them. Whether you choose a liberal arts or science major, it is important to find your interests and passions, and cultivate your professional qualities and comprehensive abilities. Only in this way can you embark on your own path to success.
As educators, we must take our responsibility for education seriously. It is not only necessary to impart knowledge, but also to guide students to develop their personality and thinking skills, and to train them to become people with values and innovative spirit. We want to build an educational environment that embraces diversity and encourages individualized development, so as to stimulate the potential and creativity of each student.
In the future, on this road full of challenges and opportunities, it is better to "run" well than to "choose" accurately. We want to use this event as an opportunity to reflect on the nature of education and career choices, and to work towards a more inclusive and diverse education system. Only in this way can everyone find their own path and succeed.
