Recently, it was reported on the Internet that Mr. Zhang Xuefeng, a famous teacher for postgraduate entrance examinations, made some controversial remarks in a live broadcast, especially the evaluation of liberal arts students, calling it "Liberal arts are all service industries, and the service industry is summed up in one word is 'licking'". This has caused widespread controversy in all walks of life. In response to this matter, the official ** issued a commentary** chapter, severely criticizing Mr. Zhang's remarks, accusing his words of "vulgarity" and "trampling on the bottom line". This incident highlights a series of questions worth pondering.
Freedom of speech and freedom of expression is a sign of social progress and a right granted to citizens by the Constitution. However, any right should not be absolute, and should be exercised within the legal norms to avoid infringing on the rights and interests of others. Public figures, in particular, should pay more attention to the impact of their statements on society, avoid using vulgar and low-grade language, and shoulder more important social responsibilities.
The inappropriateness of the rhetoric does exist. As an educator, it is Ms. Zhang's responsibility to be mindful of her words and not to disparage any subject or profession. We need to respect every piece of labor, and liberal arts students can also earn the respect of others through their own efforts.
We should be impartial about excessive criticism. Everyone may lose their words at a certain moment, and we should not make a one-sided evaluation of the whole because of individual circumstances, but should take a position of seeking common ground while reserving differences, understand the original intention behind Mr. Zhang's words, and at the same time affirm his achievements in teaching.
The incident revealed some deep-seated problems. There are some misunderstandings about education in society at present, and many teachers are faced with the problem of teaching methods that need to be improved, which is a reality that cannot be ignored. However, solving this problem requires the concerted efforts of society as a whole, and the blame cannot be placed solely on the individual.
We should establish scientific cultural self-confidence and inherit and carry forward the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation. When dealing with problems, we should avoid attacking each other, but adopt a rational way of communication, eliminate prejudices, and promote social harmony. Only positive forces can move society forward.
The growth of every public figure is accompanied by mistakes, and the key is to constantly reflect and keep improving. We should give understanding and encouragement to help everyone become a better version of themselves, and jointly promote social civilization and progress.
This incident also reflects the fact that the current society has not yet formed a unified value orientation and moral norms in the context of the continuous updating of information dissemination means. Any speech has the potential to spread quickly through the internet and have an impact on others. Therefore, we need to pay special attention to spreading positive energy, promoting mainstream values in society, and treating all kinds of information rationally.
In addition, the current education field has also highlighted a series of problems due to this incident. In the role of educators, it is essential to uphold a professional ethic that aims to disseminate knowledge and stimulate thinking, rather than delivering vulgar content. The education sector as a whole also needs to seriously rethink how to improve the quality and methods of teaching and learning to ensure that students truly benefit.
In the face of similar incidents, we should engage in rational discussions to dispel misunderstandings and reach consensus, rather than blaming and attacking each other. It is only through the transmission of rational and peaceful ideas that society can move towards progress and education return to its essence. We need to unite and help each other, look at events rationally, and work together to create a harmonious and progressive social environment.
