The unfair treatment of arts and sciences leads everyone to study science whether they like it or not. Many people choose liberal arts, not because they like liberal arts, nor because they are good at liberal arts, but because they really can't learn science, so they are forced to study liberal arts. Therefore, the status of liberal arts has become lower, and those who study liberal arts have been labeled as "stupid".
At the beginning, when our high school was divided into arts and sciences, the class teacher (who taught geography) extremely retained me and asked me to study arts. He said to me, "Look, there are so many people studying science and the competition is so fierce. If you study liberal arts, you may enter Peking University. If you study science, you will enter Zhejiang University at most. " I'm from Zhejiang, so Zhejiang University doesn't rank so high in Zhejiang Province. Zhejiang University is a guaranteed school in our school.
Finally, I chose to study science. Because my idea is actually the same as that of the subject. In my opinion, liberal arts is memorizing, but the problem is to keep writing. You might as well read by yourself. But in fact, choosing science is not much better, and it is just a sea tactic. Therefore, whether it is liberal arts or science, our high school education is a complete failure.
There are about three plans for the future, and it is found that these three directions have nothing to do with arts and sciences. Actually, the question is right. It is extremely ridiculous for a person to plan his life according to arts and sciences. This rude classification of people leads to many China students who study science and engineering have no basic language and writing skills. They can write codes, but they can't give wonderful demonstrations. On the other hand, the logical thinking ability of liberal arts is seriously insufficient, and one by one they become melodramatic literary youths who can only moan and can't find jobs.
On the other hand, students trained by American education, science students have to take many courses in humanities and arts, and liberal arts students have to take many courses in mathematics and science. They think that talents trained by such education can be called "people". A complete person should be diverse, not just one thought in his mind. A complete person should be open, willing to accept all kinds of knowledge, and will think independently, integrate all kinds of knowledge and become his own thoughts. So in America, you can often see some physics professors who are humorous and good at playing various musical instruments; Sociology professor is a computer expert who is good at using big data for research. And many foreign code farmers can write great blogs; ; Many independent developers are proficient in design, writing, photography, music production and other skills. Among these people, can you clearly define whether they are arts students or science students? They often choose a major not because other majors are poor, but because they like it. Of course, many people choose to study computer and other popular majors for employment reasons, but this does not mean that they will limit their own development, and they will still learn a lot of non-professional knowledge.
I'm not saying that everyone should be the master of everything, which is impossible and unrealistic. I just want to say that we can't define ourselves as science students or liberal arts students because of this deformed education system, but we should let ourselves accept more knowledge of other disciplines. It should be understood that the liberal arts in high school are not real liberal arts, and the science in high school is not real science. Went to college and was finally free. I should spend more time in contact with other knowledge and really find out what I like and what I am good at. Maybe if you had studied liberal arts, you would have found that physics was not so boring, and maybe you would have been moved to tears for math. Maybe if you study science, you will find that history is not an endorsement, and politics is not just about saying what they tell you to say correctly. You will find a bigger world, you will really appreciate the fun of learning knowledge, and you will find out what the fuck you are doing with nine-year compulsory education.
1. If the science score is dominant. Under the system that college entrance examination scores determine everything, it is more reliable to choose those who can do well in the exam.
2. I am interested in liberal arts, and I usually like to read books on humanities and social sciences. Then it is not recommended to study liberal arts. The liberal arts in high school is for you to recite, and the answer is also based on the standard answer, which will seriously restrict your ability to think freely. Not as much as you learn by reading. I'm worried about losing interest in liberal arts after choosing liberal arts as my subject. Although doing science topics is also boring, it can help you lay a good foundation in science. If you study liberal arts, you will find it difficult to make up the foundation of science.
3. It is easy to transfer science to liberal arts, but it is difficult for liberal arts to transfer science. It seems that young artists study more science than geeks study liberal arts. It may be because science students are "simple" in reading literature books, while arts students will instinctively feel a sense of fear when reading math books. This is actually a prejudice that imprisons people's thinking. If the subject is a liberal arts student, he should be interested in reading science books in the future, hoping not to be influenced by this prejudice. Put aside prejudice and tell yourself that everything in high school is bullshit. You are on the same starting line as the science students in high school.
Actually, I didn't think too much. Don't think that the liberal arts score of the college entrance examination determines the fate of your life. Don't imprison yourself. Don't always look at what is hot and what is good for employment, just think that you should do that direction.
I think the most important thing is to find what I like to do best. When you decide to do something, no one can stop you.
No matter which university you study in the future, no matter which major you study in the future, no matter whether others are liberal arts students or science students, you are defined by the labels of one college and two colleges or 2 1 1 985. When you make up your mind to do something, no one can stop you.
When you make up your mind to do something, you can become an internet tycoon who studies social science, a writer who studies science, a hacker who studies gynecology and a martial artist who studies philosophy. Needless to say, there are too many such examples in Zhihu.
So relax and don't think too much. Follow your inner voice, don't be too stressed, and spend high school happily. Don't think that the college entrance examination will determine the fate of your life, and don't think that the division of arts and sciences is a watershed in your life. It's all bullshit. Your destiny is in your own hands. What kind of person you will become depends entirely on what kind of person you want to be.
