Why Choose the Liberal Arts? 'By Mark William Roche. (Notre Dame, Indiana: University of Notre Dame Press, 2010, Pp. x, 198. .00, paper.)A traditional liberal arts education has always been a difficult sell in America. The nation's experiment with mass post-secondary education has sent higher percentages of the general populace to college or university since World War II but often with a narrowly vocational focus. More recently, skyrocketing tuition costs at private liberal arts colleges and the scarcity of job openings for liberal arts graduates have served to convince many parents that an expensive undergraduate degree in, say, art history, might not be a prudent path for their children. Given these sobering realities, Mark William Roche's Why Choose the Liberal Arts? pro vides perceptive insights that can inform the thinking of both parent and prospective student alike.Roche, former dean of Arts and Letters at Notre Dame, organizes the answer to his book's title under three headings. First, he explores the intrinsic value of a liberal arts education (i.e., learning for its own sake). Second, he examines the practical skills and habits that the liberal arts can equip one with and which are invaluable in certain lines of work. Third, he addresses how studying the liberal arts can cultivate character and clarify one's "higher purpose or calling" (10). Undergraduates bring with them to college many fundamental questions regarding the nature of reality and the meaning of life. A liberal arts curriculum can help them pursue such questions in a thoughtful and systematic way. Moreover, it can also suggest a host of new questions that will complicate their assumptions in constructive ways. Here, Roche argues that many today unwisely "elevate an instrumental form of thinking, a means-end rationality, in ways that tend to obscure what is of intrinsic value" (25). By contrast, a liberal arts college can promote thinking as its own good, or as he explains: "Making money is both necessary and useful, but it is merely useful, undertaken for the sake of something else, whereas the joy of contemplation is an end in itself, an activity pursued for its own sake" (35).All of which is not to argue that a liberal arts education has no practical utility in today's economy.

University education in the United States undergraduate education in the United States known as the liberal arts education. The literal meaning of free education, but its meaning is very rich. liberal education in first refers to the ancient Greek times to the freedom of man's education. The "free men" refers to as opposed to slavery, such as the artisans who obey orders to carry out the work of others. The men have the right to freedom to choose their own path and way of life. In the modern, liberal arts education is becoming synonymous with the University of the United States, as opposed to specific vocational education, liberal education emphasis on "human" education, rather than the "art" of education, it is concerned about how a person's education A can think independently and have the values and ethics, cultural differences to understand the health of the individual. Liberal education is a feature of American higher education, and through it to students in terms of education, training students to express and ability to ****yze problems. In general, in the liberal arts education system, students need to learn art, history, philosophy, humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and other fields within the curriculum. In a wide-ranging enough to learn, according to its own students to choose a professional interest in the direction of further study. As a result, although today's fast changing technological developments and new subjects and new problems emerging, but the United States, the University is still upholds the tradition. Today, American University's enrollment has more than 50%, while the University is also increasingly reflects the function of civic education: the 21st century, the United States, in the end the social needs of citizens who have the basic knowledge and the quality can be competent Citizens of a new era.

And the University of China, the United States of the undergraduate general education needs of four years, and we ask the students to choose a particular profession. However, this is where China and the United States there is the University fundamentally different. First of all, the two sides on the functions of the University of positioning different. On his name expressed by the Liberal Education, University of Americans believe that undergraduate education is a free people the most basic education, to help it grow into a body of a rational and critical reasoning and ****ytical power of the spirit of healthy people. China's university education, because of the history and the level of economic development and many other reasons, has also been positioned in a train professionals in the area of education professionals. The biggest difference between the two sides lies in the fact that the former's goal is to foster a healthy individual to become a competent citizens of a civilized society; and the latter's goal is to train-tool talent. As the two goals in that there are essentially different, so the University in China and the United States in many other areas there are fundamental differences. They can focus reflected in the choice of professional and curriculum on.

Chinese university students in the school, have been identified on a professional. In addition, from the University of entering the first semester, began to study professional courses. In addition, the Chinese University courses, professional courses (including the core curriculum courses and related) account for at least the total number of courses of more than 60%. The United States entered the university when students do not have the expertise, but in accordance with the requirements of a certain number of study subjects in public. These subjects are generally covered by some of the few major department: literature, art, history, philosophy, humanities, social, mathematics, science, and other areas of major. After the students a broader education, to more clearly understand their own, as well as the social understanding of the various disciplines to understand the connotations. Therefore, only the University third-year students have a chance to choose their own professional interest, and there will be a general academic advisers to guide students. In determining the professional, the students began to study professional courses. However, the proportion of specialized courses for all courses less than 1 / 3. Therefore, it is conceivable that the United States of the University students trained in the breadth of knowledge, the balance has a significant advantage. Basic history, humanities and philosophy of education can at least ensure that graduates have the basic qualities of modern citizens. And a wide range of different areas and not connected with a little in-depth, so that graduates can maintain interest in science for post-graduate stage lay the foundation for further study. These, we are all Chinese to learn the educational needs of the.
