1 Should All College Courses Be Specifically Related to a Future Occupation？
Recently there has been a heated discussion in a newspaper as to whether allcollege courses should be specifically related to a future occupation.As this is a controversial issue，opinions vary from person to person.Some college students are for the opinion that all the college courses should be closely associated with their future occupation because the professional knowledge they have acquired will directly be used in the work after their graduation.
On the contrary，some other college students take quite a different attitude to this question.In their views，not all college courses should be specifically related to their future occupation.Some professional courses should be so because they would not be a layman if they had the chance of using their specialties after their graduation.However，it is unnecessary for optional courses to be related to their future career.Maybe such courses won't apply to their future jobs.
In my opinion，even if none of your college courses are related to your future profession，it doesn't matter.What really counts is to master some basic knowledge and gain some skills proficiently when you are at college.A college graduate from Peking University we know from the news has no chance to use his professional knowledge，but he can still make a living by selling pork in the street.In fact，this example indicates that it is difficult for all college courses to be specifically related to a future occupation.
2 Humane Education
The other day，a professor from Peking University gave a lecture“ChineseIntellectuals and Written Cultural Text”.In his lecture，he held that Chinese intellectuals have lost the written cultural text since the May 4th Movement.His opinion set us thinking that the loss of traditional humane education resulted in a crisis of cultural education.
With the rapid development of economy，the living standard of the Chinese peoplehas improved a lot in terms of material wealth.In a period when economy takes priority，people pay more and more attention to profits.At present，moneymaking and pleasure seeking are becoming a popular fashion.On the other hand，there appears a barren field of spirit in today's society.It has become unexpectedly hard to rebuild the paradise of traditional culture.Ideological confusion，moral decline and a chaotic cultural market，all these show that it is the high time to have something done in order to tackle the problem of cultural orientation.Our time calls for an ideal humane education.
It is unwise to discard traditional Chinese culture as a whole.Some of the elements of the traditional culture can be made use of in the reconstruction of our spiritual civilization directly or with some adaptation.Our attitude towards tradition should be“discarding the dross and selecting the essence”.The humane education of the past can serve as a supplement to the Marxist education.It should start from primary school.In this way，our children will get educated so as to be possessed of a perfect personality.The national morale will be greatly raised，and will help push forward the growth of economy.
To sum up，we can find it badly necessary to build up an ideal humane education.We should find an efficient way to develop our humane education and dig out more resources from traditional Chinese culture.
