practicality and pragmatism, which all poweres and talents must serve, have now become the mainstream ideology, the great idol that we adore and admire, even a way of life.The majority of us hold fast to such an idea that anything that is not obviously practical has little, if any value in todays world.Although such a claim is not without merits, it is my belief that what in manys eyes is not practical is as a matter of fact should be attached great significance to. This is not to deny that the world is ever thriveing and progressing with practicality.Science and technology in modern era primarily serve this purpose.For instance, when it comes to scientific research, it is the most urgent and heatedly debated issues, say the vaccine of AIDS or the therapy for cancer, that get the most financial support or fundings from government or any concerned organization.Whereas the theoretical researches more often than not suffer from a dearth of fundings. In the realm of education,students always prefer majors or courses that promise them ideal careers in the job market,Hence,classes like economics,biotechnology,law are under most circumstances full of people while seats in the classrooms for history,philosophy,literature are seldom,if ever fully occupied. We should see clearly in what aspects praticality benefits us given the impact on our daily lives every technological breakthrough brings us.Nevertheless,contrary to manys belief,what is not obviously practical does not automatically turn out to be of little value.Take our current attitude towards liberal arts for example.None of us take it very seriouly in this practical world.Obviouly,The appreciation of a oil painting in the middle ages has nothing to do ones promotion in careers,nor it has anything to do with the sales of a kind of software. Yet as it is so often pointed out that our next generation,even ourselves are suffering from a rape of creativity and imagination.We are good at memorizing facts and figures,and we master the practical skill of reasoning, logical thinking as well as calculating,but we accquire an disability to creat and imagine at the same time.Common sense and experiences tell us that the best and most effective way to develop and enhance our creativity and imagination is to be exposed to any great art works,literature that appears impractical and futile in todays world.Thus,it may be high time that we stopped and reflect seriously on how the problems must be solved. And to this I want to add, such refinements and cultivation of human minds and manifestion of goodness of humantiy shall at no time be interperted as unpractical and thusly of little value even in todays practical world. To be fair, the seemly unpracticals are not totally exclusive of the practicals, that is these is hope for us to expect the combination of the two in each and every field .For example, we can and should devise a curriculum that both emphsizing practicality and the less practical but useful for us.Students are encouraged and guided to choose those fit their career goals and those cultivate the minds. To sum up,that practicality and pragmatism indeed do us good is undeniable given the comfort and convenience it brings into contemporary lives.Yet practicality and pragmatism to excess may run the risk of driving people to pursue short-term interests,overlooking long-term ones.Give these,we shold refrain from being overwhelmed by the detrimental effects of practicility and pragmatism .

实用性和实用主义,它所有的力量和人才必须服务,现在已经成为主流意识形态,的大偶像,我们崇拜和敬仰,甚至是一种生活方式。大多数人持有快这样的观念,任何没有明显实用性的东西有点,如果任何价值在今天的世界。虽然这样的说法是不是没有优点,它是我的信仰,什么在许多的眼睛是不实际的,是作为一个事实上应高度重视。这是不否认,世界永远是thriveing和进步在现代科学和技术的实用性。主要服务于这个目的。例如,当它涉及到科学研究,它是的最紧迫、热烈争论的问题,说艾滋病或治疗癌症,得到的金融支持或公积金从政府或任何有关机构的疫苗。而理论研究往往比不遭受缺乏公积金。在教育领域,学生总是喜欢专业或课程,承诺他们的理想职业的就业市场,因此,类如经济学,生物技术,法律在大多数情况下,全人,坐在教室的历史,哲学,文学很少,如果不能完全占领。我们应该清楚的看到在哪些方面praticality好处给我们在我们的日常生活中所有的技术突破都给我们带来的冲击。然而,相反很多的信仰,什么是不明显的现实不自动转出来是价值不大。以我们目前的态度对文科的例子。没有人把它非常严重在这个现实的世界。obviouly,欣赏一幅油画,在中世纪有什么做的职位的升迁,或它有什么做与销售的一种软件。然而,它是如此经常地指出,我们的下一代,甚至我们自己遭受强奸的创造力和想象力。我们是好记忆事实和数字,我们掌握的实际技能的推理,逻辑思维以及计算,但我们获得残废的创造和想象在同一时间。常见的感觉和经验告诉我们,最好的和最有效的方式开发,提高我们的创造力和想象力是暴露在任何伟大的艺术作品,文学出现不切实际和徒劳的在今天的世界。因此,它可能是高的时候,我们停下来认真思考如何必须解决的问题。和这个,我想补充,这种细化和培养人类心灵manifestion善良的人性化建筑应当在任何时候被interperted作为不切实际和外敌的价值不大,即使在今天的现实世界。公平,看似unpracticals是不是完全排斥的实习,那就是这些是希望我们期望相结合的两个在各个领域都。例如,我们可以和应该制定课程,是emphsizing实用和不切合实际的,但有用的我们。学生鼓励和引导选择适合自己的职业目标和培养的头脑。综上所述,实用性和实用主义确实我们好是不可否认的舒适和便利的同时也带来了当代生活。然而实用性和实用主义过剩可能运行风险驱使人们去追求短期利益,忽视长期的。给这些,我们shold避免被淹没的实用和务实的不利影响。
