这天早上,又到了狼***羊的时候。
所有的'绵羊颤抖着,它们默默祈求死掉的不是自己。
狼选了一只很壮实的公羊。可这只公羊天生有着倔脾气。它根本不想死。狼瞄准公羊的脖子抬起了尖刀。公羊低下头向狼的胸口撞去!
狼很倒霉,它倒在地上,倒在了自己的尖刀上,狼死了。
所有的羊惊恐之后高声对着公羊呼喊:“英雄!英雄!”
英雄骄傲地抬起头,它说:“我们从今以后再也不会屈从于这样的主人!”
这时,另一只狼走了过来,“可爱的羊们,请让我做你们的新主人,我保证不鞭打你们、不剪掉你们洁白的长毛,最主要的是我四天才能吃掉一只羊。”
包括英雄在内的所有羊都欢呼起来。
这一天,小绵羊找到了小山羊说:“小山羊,我们去采野花玩好吗?”谁知小山羊上下打量了小绵羊一眼之后,不屑一顾地说:“我可不想和你玩儿,你还是自己去玩吧!”小绵羊不明白地问:“为什么?”
小山羊很不礼貌地说:“你的大尾巴太难看了!”小绵羊扭头看了看自己的尾巴,它又宽又大,沉甸甸的。
小山羊又对着自己的伙伴嘲笑小绵羊说:“你们看它的'尾巴,真像个大口袋!”小山羊都哈哈地笑了起来。小绵羊闷闷不乐地走了。
转眼间,草原的冬天到了,一夜之间白雪把整个草原都盖住了,草原像穿了一层厚厚的棉衣。
小山羊因为吃不到干草,饿得肚子咕咕叫,于是,它迎着风雪来到了小绵羊的窝里。
小山羊一进去就发现它们还剩好几捆干草呢!“我们的干草已经吃完了,你们为什么不吃呢?”小山羊诧异地问。
小绵羊回答:“我们的大尾巴就像我们的粮仓,夏天多吃些,冬天就不愁了。这里有几捆干草,够你们拿走过冬了。”
小山羊兴高采烈地说:“太谢谢你了!”可它又惭愧起来:“对不起,我以前不应该嘲笑你。”小绵羊说:“没关系,以后要改正哦。”之后,它们俩成了最好的朋友。
看来,那些难看的东西不一定是没用的,甚至比好看的东西用处都多。
When I was a freshman in college I watched the film Gua Sha Treatment for the first time, now I am a junior student and I come back to review the movie from a multicultural aspect, I have many different feelings after watching the film again.
At the beginning of the film, XuDatong is given an award and later he delivers a speech. What makes me impressed most is in his speech he says “one day I will become one of you, a truly successful American, today this award proved that America is a true land of opportunity and I am the living proof of that.” At that moment Xu thinks he has realized his American Dream totally with his lovingly wife and adorable son. However, I think it is ironical that to make a speech like that and I assume it is made on purpose to hind a clue for the story's development. How many non—American people have such a beautiful American dream? One of my classmate studies in American now and before he went aboard he told me his American dream is he can stand at the top of the New York. To be honest, I also dream that one day I can get the Green Card living there happily and successfully maybe working at the Wall Street. When Xu gets the award he thinks he entirely melted in the melting pot neglecting the multicultural obstruct, later the plot goes against the way he thinks. And later Quinlan asked Xu'why you be the scapegoat of your father?' Xu answers 'because he is Chinese.' Then maybe Xu knows that there is always a wide gap between Chinese and American cultures.
The second scene is Xu hit his son Denis because Denis hit the son of xu's boss, at the middle of the film xu tells his boss that he hit his own son is only to show his respect to his boss John Quinlan, that time Quinlan feels puzzled “what a Chinese logic”,yes, American can never understand such a logic full of Chinese characteristic, because they respect everyone including the children, they won't beat a child to please the boss, and there is no such a conception of degree between employee and employer, they feel everyone is equal, which is quite different from china.
Connected to the second scene, the third difference I want to analyze is the care for the children. In America, people pay more attention to the right of children which can be seen from the law—leaving children alone at home is illegal, while in China it is so common that almost everyone may experience such loneliness. And Children Welfare Agency does work in America which shows the importance Americans attach to children's right. What's more, I remember a line 'No one won the case, especially the child.' In my opinion, it also manifests the universal concern from the American public to the children.
The fourth aspect is following the procedure, in the film, more than there times, the people focus on the rule, the law, the procedure. At the Christmas Eve Xu wants to return back to his home pretending as a Santa Claus, what a pity, the security recognizes him and persuades 'you are always a good tenement, never causes troubles for me.' And another scene is at the end of the film , the judge says 'I have to follow the procedure.' However, in China people always have to ask for a favor to do something, and later you have to pay back the favor,for myself, I prefer the American style, strict to the procedure.
The fifth and the last point is the humors, Quinlan says 'you can't fall, your health security is the company paid.' 'Datong, welcome home, maybe next time, you can come from the front door.' 'dady, why you come from the window' ' because we don't have a chimney.' I really adore this distinguished American humor, especially in dangerous situations, which is quite rare in China.
That's my whole reaction to Gua Sha Treatment.
作者是耶鲁大学的教授,他对名校的学生有个洞见:那些习惯竞争的精英(或者说做题小能手们),往往将理想职业定位咨询或投行,不仅是因为那是被无数人验证的康庄大道,更是因为这条路困难——那些精英已经习惯了从激烈的竞争中获取安全感、只有自己付出很大代价拿到的东西、才能给他们安全感。
德雷谢维奇把精英教育比作是一场游戏,玩家们拼命刷自己的资历让自己脱颖而出,而竞争的结果是录取标准的水涨船高,并且这个游戏还会惩罚那些不愿意进入这个游戏的人。
“优秀的绵羊”,是指毕业于哈佛、耶鲁这些世界名校的学生,这些名校在今天已经成为“优秀”的代名词。作者认为,这些外人眼中的天之骄子非常优秀,但他们内心非常脆弱、迷茫,缺乏独立的思想,往往屈从于父母和外界的意愿,一味追求功利,他们就像是一群绵羊,向着人们期望的方向前进,成为一群“优秀的绵羊”。
常青藤名校的学生, 给人的印象总是德才兼备,文能安邦武能定国,充满英雄主义和冒险精神。德雷谢维奇在常青藤名校工作了24年,光在耶鲁大学就任教了十年。辞职后他深刻反思了美国名校的教育系统,提出一个观点说美国名校培养出来的学生都是优秀的绵羊,优秀虽然优秀,但是培养出来的是相同模式下的学生,缺乏独特性。
德雷谢维奇说美国名校其实搞的也是应试教育,而不是外人认为的素质教育。常青藤联盟最早是一个体育赛事联盟,就是一个美国上层社会子弟一起上大学的地方。这些上层社会人士觉得有必要创建一个联盟,而且最好只招收上层人士的子女。但是后来受到外界压力逐步开始对外开放,调整招生标准,以保证为大学生活学习提供多样性。他们既重视应试教育,也重视素质教育,但这些素质最好是具有一定的贵族气质、美式传统精英阶层的素质,比如体育特长、小提琴、击剑、之类的。但这些所谓的素质教育并不是为了提高学生的品格,而是确保精英学生的录取比例。
想要进这样的学校,要么学习成绩非常好。要么成绩稍微差一点点,但是有其他特长非常强。可以偏科,但是得足够偏。如果面试时说自己要获得了什么奖项,必须是全国性的大奖,小提琴要是国际水平,体育特长得达到奥运冠军的水平,虽然你的大学先修课不是特别的出类拔萃,但也得比绝大多数人要优秀。这样招生办才对你大学能顺利毕业有信心。
为了上哈耶普这样的名校,家境可比素质要重要。因为历史上这些名校都是由上层精英出钱资助建立的。学校建立的目的`就是为了让彼此的孩子能够建立关系,等以后孩子毕业可以继承家产。常青藤建立之初,一些年来都不招平民子弟的。他们采取的措施是要求会希腊语和拉丁文。但是美国的普通高中根本不会教这些课程。这就相当于变相使用技术手段,把普通学生排除在外。
而且直到今天,这些名校仍然热衷尽量多录取高收入家庭的孩子。
认识自己,方能认识人生。
大学的使命,其实是把青少年变为成人。读大学并不是为了要找一份体面的工作,也不是为了满足父母的愿望,而是为了寻找自我,构建更好的自我,创建自己喜欢的生活方式。
教育的作用是不断向孩子提问,他是什么样的人,未来他做什么样的职业,想过什么样的生活,只是随着社会的快速发展,很多人都忘了教育的真正作用。
大学四年是青少年向成年转变最黄金的四年,是走向社会生活的缓冲带。我们要发现自我,认识自我,学会思考,具有质疑能力。
书中提到:“大学致力于培养学生最核心的能力是分析他人观点并阐叙自己观点。”说到底还是要学会思考,要有自己的思想。不然的话就会人云亦云,有时候我们很容易被网上的一些观点所左右,盲目跟风。
生活就是对生命体验的一个过程,要去倾听并追求自己内心的声音,要活在自己的心中,而不是活在别人的眼中。
每一步总有一个适合的部分,学着生活中的每一处的点滴记忆;跑跑步出出汗健健身从肉体中找到自己的价值取向,奋斗中的每一天都是在学习、在找寻中逐步完善。
罗素有句话“参差百态乃幸福本源”。用同样的方法对待不同的人是公平吗?还是用不同的方法对待不同的人是公平?每个人生来有自己的优势劣势、环境和物质不决定教养,只有你自己能决定成为什么样的人。公平不公平不重要,重要的是走出一条有自己人生意义的一条路。
愿我们每个人都为自己而活,活出自己想要的样子。
