The Nature of University Culture Ladies and gentleman, my name is SB, today I’m going to talk about university culture with you follows.The university nowadays in china is currently undergoing dramatic change, which is challenging the traditional values upon which universities are based.These traditional values include:
An Interest in Knowledge for its Own Sake The fundamental product of universities is knowledge.Universities function on the basis of innate curiosity – seeking knowledge on iues regardle of whether that knowledge has any clear practical application or use.Although often criticised as impractical, this trait is actually the basis for most real innovation as important disciplines such as computer science, biotechnology and nuclear physics all arose from ‘pure' research for which practical applications were not obvious when that research was commenced.Specialized Knowledge Modern scholars typically specialize in a particular area of knowledge – which can sometimes be particularly narrow indeed – for example, becoming a specialist in the wing structure of a particular species of fly.Scholars are often described as ‘people who know a lot about a little'.This depth of knowledge is neceary to position scholars to add new knowledge to their own area of expertise and forms the basis for humanity moving ever forward in its understanding of things.Disputation Advances in academic disciplines occur through people putting forward different opinions or theories to explain things and then seeing which holds up best.This proce is called ‘disputation'.If you have a point of view that differs from someone else's you are encouraged to put it forward AS LONG AS it is supported with good arguments or evidence.Theories are constantly being introduced, amended and mixed together – this is how our overall understanding of things improves.Openne Universities rely on the free flow of ideas and continuous debate.Ideas will stand or fall on the strength of the arguments and evidence that support them, but there must always be opportunities for existing ideas to be challenged and for different points of view to be put forward.This should occur in a constructive way, never maliciously.Honesty The work of scholars has little value unle it is honest.Scholars must ae evidence on its merits, even if it serves to go against their own ideas or beliefs.Scholars must never fake or distort evidence to suit a particular point of view but interpret evidence objectively and without bias.Scholars must consider all sides of an argument.Scholars must also ensure that they give proper credit to people whose work or ideas they are using in their own work Academic Freedom The notion of academic freedom arose in times when putting forward new ideas and challenging conventional wisdom could result in the individuals concerned being persecuted, imprisoned or worse.Academic freedom contends that academics should be allowed to pursue scholarly activities without fear of reprisal and without direction from authority.
