In today's society, personality seems to have become an indispensable element. Influenced by the western (European and American) model, personality education is widely respected. However, is the general education in China really eliminated in such a society? This paper will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of personality education and general education, and their applications in different scenarios.

The importance of general education

General education plays an indispensable role at the critical moment. When faced with emergencies such as war and natural disasters, personal interests often give way to collective interests temporarily. At this special moment, general education allows us to take necessary measures without hesitation to minimize the harm.

The value of personality education

Individuality and generality have their own advantages and complement each other. In peacetime, personality education helps to cultivate independent thinking and creativity. It can stimulate students' interest and potential, and let them give full play to their specialties.

Complementary education model

Personality education and general education are not antagonistic, but complementary. In today's pluralistic society, we should fully understand and give full play to their advantages and cultivate the next generation with independent thinking and the spirit of unity and cooperation.
