Instead of requiring students to take course in a variety of disciplines that is, courses ranging from the arts and the humanities to the physical and biological sciences-colleges and universities should allow students to enroll only in those courses that
... thinking and hold much more clear opinion about the material world around us. Courses about morality, philosophy, anthropology, psychology and so on will provide a chance for a student to develop a proper philosophical outlook, a correct moral standard, a judgment for right or evil, and patience and tolerance so as to respect for the viewpoint of others. Similarly, courses in music, painting and literature will render a student to be sensitive to the beauty of life and enrich his or her heart and soul. All the above combined, contribute greatly to a better understanding of the society for a student to make a decision with definite, long-range eyes for the future. Although it seems tempting that in a work-oriented societyC students should be best preparedby focusing exclusively on the major courses related to their future job, in fact, such notion to some extent overlooks the benefits that students can acquire from courses of disciplines seemingly little tied to one's career and will ultimately pose adverse effect on the pursue of professional success. Nowdays more and more disciplines, which previously were regarded as having no connections, become interwoven with each other. For example, in the past, biology and physics seems to have no obvious relationship between each other, however, increasingly physical means and tools are introduced into the biological field, which have enhanced markedly the progression of biology. The proposal of the double helix structure of DNA comes into my mind. No one would forget that it is Crick, a Britian biologist, and Waston, an American Physicist, together make the revolutionary contribution to biology. While Crick from a biological angle insists that helix structure are preferred by organism spontaneously, Waston from the physical prospective claims that such a structure is the most stable one. Therefore, a broad exposure of many various disciplines will make students better prepared for the future careers than narrowly concentrating on the so-called helpful and related courses. Admittedly, students must strike a reasonable balance between the courses relevant to the future jobs and others outside the major field. Only read extensively s...
