Fool's crossing
The courses for scholarships can be questioned, let alone local, in any country, it should make people feel incredible.Around the Public Service Commission, a scholarship winner was allowed to study the arrangements of Buddhist research abroad, unexpectedly touched the sensitive nerves of some society, and once again highlighted the awkwardness of society in sensitive issues and how to get along.
Probably no one will doubt that religious research meets the conditions for applying for scholarships, let alone go to the study of Buddhist research in Oxford University in the United Kingdom.Moreover, the scholarship winner who is discussed is Malay compatriots, and they will choose to study this field, which makes people feel that it is possible.How can a few superimposed together have become accusing the Public Service Commission that should not make such a decision.
It is believed that this decision is ridiculous. The department selected by the scholarship winner should be related to my country's economy and overall development. Compared with the fields of Buddhist research, the study of Buddhist research benefit.It is also questioned whether it is necessary to study Buddhist research to go to Oxford and the choice of scholarship winners, whether it is more to meet their own personal pursuit, and be more important than the needs of the country.
The public service committee responded to these criticism first. On the one hand, it was pointed out that the authorities had also supported scholarship winners in the past to study or study non -traditional disciplines; on the other hand, when the committee issued a scholarshipMore public services, scholarship owners understand religion to help formulate policies.
The most important point is to emphasize that secularism does not mean to remove all religious content.This is also the most fundamental difference behind this confrontation.Is religious research necessarily the world?If religion is simply a superstition, it may be considered a strange power rather than a rigorous academic.However, in the historical development of human civilization, different religions have also established their own set of world views and philosophy under the role of different historical and social conditions. In terms of ideology and dialectics, they have academic value and exercise thinking.If we only interpreted secularism in one -sided and dogmatic manner, we deliberately avoid the content of all the sides of the religion, and think that holding the ostrich mentality and ignoring part of the knowledge that constitutes a society and the world knowledge system can stay away from everything and stay away from everything.Discussions related to religion are not secular, but vulgar.
Maybe you can change to another angle to understand the response of the above masses.The reason why they held opposition today is because they feel that the public sector scholarship and Buddhist research are incredible, so they did not see the deeper content covered by the course.If you change to this scholarship today to study philosophy, and he only chose to further specialize in Buddhist research during his studies, will the opponents tolerate it because of philosophy?
But how can we talk about these opponents, after all, it is not just them who reflect the allergies to any religion.Taking some activities to introduce religious knowledge to the public as an example, although the starting point is to promote cross -religious understanding, it may also touch a part of the sensitive nerves of a more cautious public, worrying about whether the activity does not match the spirit of the world that is not biased towards any religion.
From a more open perspective, this view is indeed more considered.However, it also reflects the lack of accepted acceptedness of cross -religious and cross -race learning as a whole. It is a stumbling block to promote racial and religious harmony and secular values to promote integration.The Public Service Commission may not feel that the scholarship winner's religious research is a great measure, but its enlightened decision has a certain reference significance in eliminating the misunderstanding of cognition.In the long run, it is necessary to let the society not easily allergic to religious topics as a whole must also start from instilling the correct secular concepts and eliminating vulgar thinking.
