Mr. Zhang Xuefeng is a high-profile figure in the education field, who has won wide attention and recognition for his unique teaching methods and sharp views. However, his latest comments have sparked controversy. In an interaction with parents, some parents mentioned that their child had excellent math scores, but hoped that he would choose a liberal arts major. So, Mr. Zhang Xuefeng expressed his opinion: "Liberal arts are all service industries, and the service industry can be summed up in one word, that is, licking." And add a humorous sentence: "I'll give you a laugh, hehe." This sentence immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.
Much of the controversy surrounding Zhang Xuefeng's use of the term "service industry" to describe liberal arts majors and the use of the adjective "licking" suggests that he is belittling liberal arts students and provoking the liberal arts community. However, did the liberal arts student who wanted to sue Zhang Xuefeng over-interpret him and fall into the misunderstanding of being seated?We need to think deeply about this issue.
As for the statement that "liberal arts are all service industries", some people think that this sentence is too one-sided and absolute, and excessively belittles the liberal arts group. However, we have to admit that to some extent, liberal arts majors do have to offer a link to the service industry. Behind the widespread service industry is a stereotype of liberal arts students. In fact, the liberal arts cover a wide range of subjects, including journalism, management, finance, and more. Graduates of these majors often work in the fields of communication, information transfer, and decision-making, all of which can be classified as service industries.
However, the statement that "liberal arts and sciences are all service industries" is indeed a one-sided and extreme statement. It ignores the diversity and importance of liberal arts majors. Liberal arts majors provide Xi that delves into human thinking and culture, shaping important qualities such as critical thinking, creativity, and critical thinking. Liberal arts majors are systematically trained to play an important role in a variety of fields, not just in the so-called "service industry". Therefore, we need to understand and evaluate the statement that "liberal arts are all service industries" more comprehensively.
The liberal arts students who sued Zhang Xuefeng believed that his remarks were insulting to the liberal arts community and tried to defend their dignity and rights through legal means. However, we cannot deny that the practical dilemma faced by this liberal arts student is not solved by Zhang Xuefeng's words alone.
In the real world, the service industry plays an important role in any field, and liberal arts majors are no exception. However, liberal arts students often face certain competition and difficulties in the job market, and issues such as salary and career choice often become their worries. In the face of these dilemmas, liberal arts students should have more employment information and skills to enable themselves to find better employment opportunities. Suing Zhang Xuefeng may only be an expression of his dissatisfaction and helplessness, but the problems that can be solved are limited.
Whether in the service industry or in other industries, the value of a profession is not determined by the category to which it belongs, but by the efforts and achievements of the individual in that occupation. The service industry also has its own hardships and importance, and every industry is inseparable from the support of the service industry. Liberal arts students should have a good attitude, do not label their profession as "derogatory", and it is important to face the challenges and opportunities at work positively.
In the process of personal growth, we should maintain an objective and calm attitude towards the words and criticisms of others. Instead of dwelling on whether other people's remarks are insulting or provocative, it is better to look for constructive opinions and strive to improve your own abilities and qualities. No matter what career we choose, as long as we take it seriously and serve others wholeheartedly, we can create outstanding achievements and create greater value for ourselves and society.
In this controversy over Mr. Zhang Xuefeng's remarks, we should get rid of the thinking trap of sitting in the right seat, and calmly think about the problems and practical dilemmas. Liberal arts majors do have certain challenges in terms of career choice and employment, but that doesn't mean it's valued and important. Everyone should face their career choices and development with a positive attitude, and constantly improve their personal abilities and qualities.
To sum up, we should treat the controversy over Zhang Xuefeng's remarks objectively and rationally, and avoid excessive interpretation and emotional reactions. No matter what profession you are in, you should face it with a positive attitude and serve others wholeheartedly to create greater value for yourself and society. At the same time, we should also respect the growth and efforts of individuals, remain objective and calm in the face of others' remarks, look for constructive opinions, and strive to improve our own abilities and qualities.
