Zhang Xuefeng's remarks that liberal arts belong to the service industry, which is inappropriate but pertinent, causing controversy
Zhang Xuefeng's remarks have sparked controversy, but his views on a liberal arts degree are not consistent.
Zhang Xuefeng is a highly sought-after and well-known educator who has given many valuable advice and help to students in the process of guiding their teaching. However, his frankness and honesty are often controversial. In a recent public speech, he said:"Liberal arts is the service industry, and you must know how to lick it"。This sentence has sparked questions and discussions among many netizens and students. Some people think that Zhang Xuefeng is belittling the liberal arts major and justifying the name of liberal arts students;There are also those who agree with him, believing that he said the truth that many people dare not say.
In response to netizens' questions, Mr. Zhang Xuefeng also apologized in a subsequent post, saying that he was not belittling liberal arts majors, but wanted to remind those who thought certain majors"Tall"should first understand its nature before making a choice and explain what you are saying"Service industry"It does not refer to occupations such as waiters in general, but refers to the direction and nature of employment in various liberal arts majors. And he explained what he had said"Service industry"It does not refer to the professions such as service students, but refers to the direction and nature of the employment of various types of liberal arts degrees.
Differences in the prospects and nature of employment in different professional fields.
1.The scope and importance of the service.
The service industry, like many industries, includes various sectors such as catering, tourism, healthcare, and education. It is an integral part of modern society, and everyone deals with the service industry. However, in the minds of many people, the service industry is often undervalued, believing that working in this industry is unprofitable and has a low status. But in fact, the service industry plays a vital role in a country's economic development and social stability. As Zhang Xuefeng said,"The service sector is'Ownership'", which not only touches all aspects of life, but also provides a plethora of employment opportunities.
2) Career prospects for liberal arts graduates.
Liberal arts graduates have comparatively fewer employment opportunities as compared to science graduates. As a result, people often worry and wonder about the employment prospects of liberal arts graduates. However, liberal arts graduates play an irreplaceable role in society, such as the education industry, the media industry, administrative management and other fields need a large number of liberal arts talents. Although there are relatively few job opportunities for liberal arts graduates, there is room and opportunities for them to grow. The key lies in each person's interests and strengths, as well as a thorough understanding and mastery of their major.
3.Career prospects for science graduates.
Compared to a liberal arts degree, a science degree has more employment prospects. Science graduates typically work in fields such as science, technology, and engineering, which are in high demand for qualified talent. At the same time, the content of a science degree is more specific and specialized, and it is easier for students to find a career related to their degree after completing their studies. However, science degrees are not hassle-free when it comes to employment, and competition is fierce, requiring students to have solid theoretical knowledge and practical skills in order to qualify for employment.
A summary of personal opinions and reflections.
Mr. Zhang's speech sparked a lot of discussion and gave me more in-depth thinking about the employment prospects and the nature of a liberal arts degree. From my personal point of view, each degree has its own strengths and weaknesses and cannot simply be judged and ranked. Although there are relatively few jobs in liberal arts majors, they play an important role in social development and humanistic literacy. Science majors, on the other hand, pay more attention to the cultivation of science and technology and practical ability, and play an important role in promoting the development and innovation of industrial technology.
When choosing a major, students should consider and choose according to their interests, strengths, and career plans. Whether it is a liberal arts or a science subject, students should devote themselves to Xi and practice to continuously improve their skills and professional qualities. At the same time, students should also maintain a positive attitude and optimistic attitude towards life, strive to adapt to the changes and needs of society, and continue to learn and Xi and progress.
In general, both liberal arts and sciences have their own values and development prospects, and there is no absolute superiority or inferiority. When faced with a choice, students should choose a suitable professional direction according to their interests, abilities and career planning, and pay attention to the cultivation of practical ability and the improvement of personal quality in the process of learning and Xi. Only in this way can we better adapt to the needs of society, achieve our own life goals, and achieve our own life.
