Back to the scholars of social sciences, taking reality as an example, please allow me to give two examples: one is Zhang, president of the Constitutional Society of China, and the other is a tenured professor and sociologist at the University of Chicago. These two famous scholars have personally listened to their lectures and read the articles of their predecessors. It's a pity that every time I hear someone ask them why they come to do research in other disciplines instead of receiving training. (Question session) (I won't list the background of the two here) The author smiled and felt that such a question is really unnecessary sometimes, but almost everyone who knows this business knows that getting started is definitely not as difficult as you think, just like literature. Why can't you write anything? However, it is difficult to be a writer or a writer. If so, our listeners, imagine that a person's hobbies will remain unchanged for life. China's education has cultivated people's conservatism so well that many people are afraid that they can't do this well, so they are doing that annoying "rice bowl subject" as always.
Second, it talked about "conservatism" and "hobbies". These are all strategies for a person to follow his own life path, and many times, we often can't find the path we like, or we dare not go at all. This is contrary to "conservatism" and "hobby". And the author happens to be an unruly "bad boy". There is an old saying: starve to death and be timid. If your choice is wrong, or you don't like it, why should you tie yourself to that post, make yourself look like a blindfolded donkey, then turn around the "system" and finally return to depression? Moreover, while cursing this bad or that bad, it caters to such a realistic dilemma and enjoys it. I often don't understand this. This is not to say that we have betrayed our majors, but that we need to know ourselves clearly (Socrates "know ourselves") and then boldly choose what we want.
Many friends around me are unreasonable (thinking with traditional thinking), which is very interesting. I hope this kind of fun can touch you here and awaken your "heart". The author is a friend who works in Beijing, majoring in optoelectronics as an undergraduate, and later studied directly in the Department of Political Science of Renmin University of China. A friend who works in Guangzhou New Express, majoring in civil engineering, is now a news commentary editor. A friend, now a graduate student in political science at Fudan University, majoring in public administration; A friend is a graduate student of aesthetics in China University of Political Science and Law, majoring in journalism; A friend studying political science at Nankai University, majoring in journalism; A friend who is now studying philosophy at Huazhong University of Science and Technology is studying Japanese as an undergraduate. Wait a minute. As for myself, I studied economics as an undergraduate and now I study sociology. Here are a few examples, that is, as long as you choose the life and subject you want, your efforts will surely succeed. Don't be afraid of not doing well, just work hard. I remember a Brazilian writer who wrote The Fantasy Journey of the Shepherd Boy once said that when you want to do something, the power of the universe will also help you.
Three. Like many people, I am also a member of exam-oriented education in China. An inescapable fate determines that I will receive education from preschool education to university education in China. When I was an undergraduate, I also looked at the economy to find a job, so I chose such a subject to study. I don't think this material is really difficult, and I didn't use many skills to learn it, because my interest is really not here. When I was a sophomore, I began to study and reflect on my life. It was very painful for a while. Later, I gradually felt that sociology was what I wanted, and decided that it could change China, promote social progress and solve social problems. Unlike my former friends, they went into politics after finishing their studies, which is a very interesting phenomenon. I have thought it over and over again, probably because we all want to solve this problem politically, but the reality does not allow it. After confirming that sociology was what I wanted, I resolutely gave up my major. Long live Sixty Minutes, and successfully obtained the degree certificate and diploma of Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Originally, I wanted to study political sociology with Professor Wu Yi, but now I have transferred to the "grass-roots regime" of rural sociology to do research. Actually, none of this matters. You studied rural sociology as a graduate student, and you can also study urban sociology, environmental sociology, legal sociology and so on. Or study politics again. You know: they have something in common. As mentioned above, when you choose a social science, its core part is different, but other aspects are similar. So don't be afraid that you can't do it well.
Now there are also many people who are asking after reading the author's clumsy article, constantly asking, what is your science? I mean economy class. Many people say that I am a mental derangement, with a good academic record and a good employment situation, not to mention the "economy" of a top ten university. Why should we choose an obscure discipline-sociology to study? What I want to say is that I think it's right to do so, so I'll do it. There is nothing to hesitate about, so I also took the postgraduate exam for two years flatly, and I won abruptly regardless of everything. Now it seems that the original choice must be correct, because it is not so painful to learn, but I am willing to devote my life to this subject and do my own research.
A graduate student studying western economics at Huazhong University of Science and Technology is also asking me whether to study economics or society. I said that economics may be more divorced from exact life and real life than sociology. Now, isn't there economic sociology to read? Students in China attach great importance to their major and think that they are destined to make a living with this subject and find a breakthrough. Some people even think that learning philosophy is so great and profound. Poor students, what's wrong with the society now? In fact, what you learn is really not that important. It is important that you learn to analyze problems from a professional perspective, instead of teaching others how to do things and pointing with knowledge. The author thinks that these are all "consciousness" caused by education, and you should learn to break this consciousness, instead of sitting still and not reflecting on your life. The established must be reflected. (Foucault)
I choose sociology because it may be more helpful to save the world or solve problems I don't understand. It's not as good as Mr Zheng Yefu said. Now I do research and reading from this point as much as possible, and academic systematic reading and writing are of course essential. In short, it is still a little bit, do what you are good at, or don't do it at all. In addition, since you choose to go academic, you should pay attention to academic norms. (Wu Yi) Many undergraduates are not fooling around, but writing papers, that's all. People have to go to great pains to help them revise it. With this academic trend, how can our things be recognized and favored by foreign countries? We should also learn more English, otherwise the academic road will be difficult. For those who don't want to study, that's another matter. But there must be a spirit of "just do it well". )
The above suggestions and ideas are inconclusive, and I hope readers will carefully consider their choices.
