Although the first season of animation"We Never Learn"is over, the problem it left behind will never be over.
The first season of"We Never Learn"is over, but there is a problem that can never be over. What majors should the two women in animation apply for? Is their final choice reasonable? Donglingjun has a new understanding of this problem recently. This is due to the two books madness and civilization and studying in Korea. Now let's talk about my feelings in combination with animation.
Applying for a major that you are not good at is an irrational choice. The setting in"We Never Learn"in
Animation is extremely extreme. Gu qiaowen, a liberal arts genius, wanted to take a science test because she was engaged in astronomy. She felt that she could be closer to her dead mother. Another female leader, Xu Fang Lizhu, is a science genius with the reputation of"thumb girl with exquisite mechanism", but she is going to take the liberal arts major - psychology related major. Her reason is that she can't figure out people's ideas by calculation. She wants to explore and understand human beings.
The choice of the two is very irrational, because Guqiao, who wants to take the science test, is ridiculously poor in science, while Xufang Lizhu, who wants to take the liberal arts test, is in a mess. They not only give up the subjects they are best at, but also test the subjects they are least good at. The school had no choice but to arrange men to make up lessons for them. An interesting story begins here.
The same as the original position of teacher Tong xuzhendong in the play,Anyone with some rationality will think that the two women are simply dead, which is very irrational. Put on the parents' hat and look at the two children with extreme eyes, they are"crazy".
How to treat the"Crazy"behavior of the two women?
"madness and civilization"appeared. The author of this book is the same as the previously talked about"discipline and punishment", which is French philosopher Michel Foucault. The book mainly talks about the"history of madness"and the change of people's attitude towards"madness". The author of the book believes that:
With the modernization process of Western civilization, madness is imprisoned step by step by reason. And that reason, which claims to be to liberate us, is actually a tool to dominate us. Madness should be part of human nature. If the most important purpose of civilization lies in the freedom and liberation of human nature, madness should become a part of civilization, not the object of civilization's efforts.
It's just good to explain it in combination with this animation. The two women's majors are harmless to people and animals. However, the teacher circle, the parent circle and the social circle will have a voice asking them to make rational choices and test their best majors. Call it beautiful, for their future , this is the requirement of civilization. We can't have a genetic talent just by God.
Although the voice against the female owner's academic choice in animation is not strong, if it is put into the real world, if a friend chooses like the female owner, he will be sprayed by the elders around him and live under great pressure. This can be regarded as a mild manifestation of"madness"imprisoned by reason.
"registering for a major you are not good at is an irrational choice". We have gradually had this brand in our consciousness."Irrational"represents immaturity and should be suppressed. However, according to Foucault's idea that"madness is a part of human nature", the idea of"irrational and should be suppressed"is problematic.Madness and rationality should have an equal dialogue, and irrational choice is not a"bad"choice.
There are more dimensions to choose what major to apply for
Whether there is talent to learn a major, what is the employment prospect of a major, whether the test scores can be passed, and so on. Today's professional registration guides mostly start from these angles and teach people to choose from a rational point of view.In addition, whether a person likes to learn a subject or not is a manifestation of respect for human nature.However, if I say that I like playing games and don't want to learn anything, Mao doesn't use it. In the end, I will give way to those"rationality".
A book called"studying abroad in Korea"gives a new dimension. This book presents a picture of studying abroad in modern China with a lot of details. The book just mentions the priorities of many predecessors when choosing majors,The starting point of many candidates' majors is the dimension of responsibility, such as saving the country and rejuvenating the country. People don't think about employment or interest.What they think is that what they learn can save the country and make people live a good life.
Is it rational or irrational for them to choose a major like this?
It is reasonable to say that it is irrational. What they want is feelings, and the priority is sense of responsibility and ambition. These perceptual aspects account for a larger proportion, which seems to have nothing to do with rationality. It also makes sense to say irrational, because it is the result of thoughtful thinking, and the process of making decisions is very rational.
Dong Ling feels that"rationality"is a problem. What is rationality? The standard of"a choice is rational"is different in different periods.
Maybe one day people think that the choice of the two female masters in"We Never Learn"is the most worthy of respect. Whether they can learn well, whether they can take the exam, whether they can pass the exam or not is the most reliable choice.At that time, the"irrational choice"now may have become the most"rational"choice.
Feng Shui turns in turn. For 30 years, East and west of the river,"others laugh that I'm too crazy, and I laugh that others can't see what to wear". It's better to make less conclusions about who really understands.Respect everyone's choice and they don't regret it. This is called being responsible for themselves.
Routine welfare: some friends must say they can't understand it. It doesn't matter. Donglingjun didn't want to understand it himself. It's just a little paradoxical. It's enough to know these three points. 1. There was once a big man in the ideological circle who thought that"madness"should not be suppressed and should be given some living space, even for madness, and for some irrational choices, it should be given some living space. 2. There are more dimensions worth considering when choosing a major and a career. 3、 Animation"We Never Learn"is not a common love stock market, the problems contained in the setting are worth pondering. It seems useless now. It will be useful to be a parent to get along with the next generation in the future.
