issue1 part2 At the personal level, the purpose of one’s study is not or not only to pursue academic success. As a student, I think during the process of study or doing researches, I acquire a feeling of joy, self-satisfaction and self-promotion. But not all of those students, who have a strong interest of studying, can meet the quality of “getting succeeded” in a certain field of study. In other words, not everyone has his or her “suitable” field of study. If educational institutions dissuade them abandon their chance of studying, it is definitely a way of depriving basic human rights. It is against the conception of education equality. What’s more, the purpose of education is not only to pass knowledge form generation to generation so as to enlarge the border of knowledge. More importantly, it is about enlightenment of human beings. Yet this title gives too much emphasis on the utilitarian result, which may mislead students. People learn things from the easy to the hard. In academic subjects, some fields of study play a basic role. Because the sciences are inextricably related, to advance our knowledge in any one area we must understand the interplay among them all. That’s why we need to have a good command of those basic fields of study. But this does not mean we are going to be experts in these fields. Take myself as an example. I am a college student majoring in Russian language and literature. But I want to be a graduate majoring sociology. Ability of mastering Russian language provides me a tool to read first-hand information and a totally new aspect of looking at things. In fact I am not one of the top students in our university and will probably not achieve any remarkable success in Russian language and literature studies. If my university had refused to accept me for that reason, then there would be one less sociologist who can speak Russian as a foreign language in the world. As a matter of fact, I am not the only example. There are more and more students whose majors are cross-disciplinary. I strongly agree with the assertion that the development of a certain field of study is based on the incorporation of knowledge and experience from other fields. An even more striking example of it is that we combine psychology and sociology, which lead to the foundation of a new major named social psychology.
