Confucius, the greatest philosopher and most influencial educator of ancient China, said:"Human being can learn knowledge from nature, especially from animmal." However, today there is a hot controverial issue about whether through specializing in behavoir of animal, people can learn useful idea or knowledge. Some people believe that people are high-creature unlike other animal, and therefore obeserving animal behavior teach us nothing, while others hold the opposite opinion about it. As far as I am concerned, to some extent studying animal behavior is useful for us. As the most senior creature, human should also study our own behavior so that we can requdiate the bad trend and avoid repeating mistakes. For starters, researching some animal behaviors illustrates meaningful model for us. And even the low-animal can teach us how to work and live with others harmoniously. Take the ant for example. Although ants are small and lack of enough strength, they can conquor the large animals which are larger several thousand times than them. What dose enpower ant so unbelievable ability? It is team-spirit and collaboration sense. When a ant finds foods, they will notice all other "peers" about the location of targets instead of enjoying the "delicious food" privately. People can study the important belief that collabration can injected huge energy into a team and even a country to conquer what people encounter, can not they? When it come to bussiness kingdom. any CEO working in successful muti-national company admits that high team-spirit is indispensable for the development. And in China, some elder person alway indoctrinate the concept of respecting parents with crows: When elder crows have not strength to serach foods, the young crow hold responsible for taking care the elder ones. In fact, human can learn the philosophical priciple from animal.
However, it is more inportant that we human being should do self-examination from ourselves rather than only from animal. In retrospect, studying history about human can illuminate too many principle. If we fail to overcome them, the destiny of human will be unpromising. Take the second world war for example. War alway make untold people lose their life and destory human's civilization. Toady, If one country in order to benefits combats with others endless, More people would be murdered and lose their family members. Then terrible weapon, including nuclear weapon and biological weapon, even would destroy the whole world.
Base on the analysis I mentioned, I can safely draw conclusion that people not only study human nature from animal, but also we should pay more energy to reflect on our-self behaviors.
