Based on this premise, it is more appropriate to establish a simple and rude theory.
The content is as follows:
First of all, it is inappropriate to make a factual judgment on this debate. Because, first, goals and tools do not conflict logically at all. My career can be a tool for me to realize my personal value, and the pursuit of my career itself is also the life goal of many people. The same logic is applied to knowledge, and there is no problem at all. Second, no matter what the purpose is or what the tool is, it is a very subjective view.
Examples of offensive and defensive: career, marriage and political marriage, love and sex, writers, actors, etc.
Therefore, in our opinion, what the pros and cons need to discuss is essentially the concept of taking knowledge as the purpose or the concept of taking knowledge as a tool, which is more worth promoting. We think the former has two reasons.
First, based on the background of the times, recognizing that knowledge is a tool for learning will lead to a decline in cognitive level. The fragmented information on the Internet is extremely rich. When people perceive knowledge with the concept of tools, we are worried that people will only search for knowledge through the Internet when they need it. This is due to the inertia of human nature, and we are worried that everyone's knowledge will continue to decline. This concept should not be advocated.
(Example of attack and defense: check the information, Zhihu Daily, how many people only read the column "Nonsense, how to spit correctly" (inertia); College students use Baidu Encyclopedia to write graduation thesis (search only))
Secondly, based on the characteristics of young people (the mainstream group of learning), the concept of learning knowledge as the purpose of learning is very lacking. To put it simply, college students regard the process of classroom learning as a tool to obtain credits and graduate smoothly. What is the result? Four years wasted, nothing learned, four years of college, graduation is unemployment. In our opinion, this has a lot to do with not taking the learned knowledge as the purpose of university study. This concept needs to be exported to college students.
(Example of offensive and defensive: Weibo's long essays are rich in knowledge, such as Huang Zhizhong's long essays, but people generally use Weibo to brush the star gossip (lack of ideas); Homework plagiarism; Exam surprise; Plagiarism in class; What is the learning state of college students in China? After a class and an exam, no one knows what they have learned. They threw the book back to the teacher just one week after the exam. Can plagiarizing and translating plagiarized papers reflect a person's scientific research ability? )
This debate is really stupid. That's it. I don't like to be too specific.
