They are critical factors of ones living state and career development. It is the basic goal of education.
1.2 Aphasia in English of native culture
There are researches showing that Chinese college students lack of expression capacity to output their native culture in English during the cross-cultural communication and obviously the Chinese culture aphasia exists. As a result, too much foreign language culture has been input and western cultural aggression grows. Lin Yutang, a Chinese linguistician and writer, stated that the nation which is outputting her culture is likely to be more developed; while the nation which is learning foreign cultures will have turmoil because of the changing environment.
1.3 Dilemma of higher vocational education in China
In China, the talents training mode evidently emphasizes cultivation of employ-ability skills and mainly focuses on the talents need of enterprises. Therefore, the specialties setup should be consistent with enterprise needs, and the humanistic quality of vocational college students cant be measured finally. As a result, the society and enterprises are not so satisfied with their new employees. Once a employer remarked that he really hoped the students can focus on how to be a good man in colleges and they will be trained for skills in workplaces later. Although it is an extreme suggestion, the society and employers have higher expectation for the humanistic level of vocational students.
