答案
Classics Should Never Be Ignored To the extent that contemporary culture is. by definition, current, it does have a much more immediate impact on students and people in general than do the arts and literature of the past. Content-poraneous events directly affect everyone alive at the time because they are occurring at precisely the same time as the individual’s existence. But to paraphrase a famous philosopher: "Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it." To a great extent, past arts and literature shape whom we are as people at least as much as, if not more than, contemporary culture does. Everyone alive today is affected in one way or another by the events of the past. Past events have directly led to the way that the world is shaped today. The arts and literature are one of the most well-preserved and documented resources that can give us a direct link into what actually happened in the past. Consider Michelangelo’s work in the Sistine Chapel at the Vatican, or the vast myriad of historic Buddhist statues throughout Asia, or the ancient Muslim mosques throughout the Middle East and Central Asia. It would be difficult to argue that contemporary culture has more relevance to today’s students when compared with the relevance of these examples of past arts and literature. At times it is difficult to determine what exactly is the difference between contemporary culture and the arts and literature of the past. Shakespeare’s classic writings are continuously being adapted into current movies that are often big hits with students and the general population as a whole. Millions of people every year view classic works of art in museums all over the world. Readings of religious texts have never gone out of style with a large part of the world’s population. Clashes between centuries-old cultures and religions, such as that of Western countries and Islamic extremists and that of Hindus and Muslims in India, demonstrate that the religious artifacts that could be called arts and literature of the past are very much a part of contemporary culture. It would seem self-evident that a properly educated university student must find a balance between studying contemporary culture without neglecting the study of arts and literature of the past. The study of one is not mutually exclusive of the study of the other. The benefits of a well-rounded education come from not only knowing the state of the world as it exists today but also knowing how the world arrived at this stage of development in the first place.
