ISSUE130 - "How children are socialized today determines the destiny of society. Unfortunately, we have not yet learned how to raise children who can help bring about a better society."
I admit that today's children are
the would-be constructors of the society,so how the children are socialized will, to some extent, affects the destiny of the society; however,there are other factors which would contribute to decide the fate of the society.
The society, is composed with different groups of people, all of who have being gone through the process of socializing.Parents and their kids,teachers and students,peers, bosses and their inferior,,the young and the elders,in fact,we live socializing no matter what age,gender,religion,etc.you are.However,how children are socialized is a segment of the socializing process,while the destiny of our society is mainly a result of the whole process.Not only the children are creative and constructive to the society,the elder,too share a portion of wisdoms,though not necessarily more than the young's.The saying of never too old to learn.Sometimes,the elder kind of decide society's fate,too.For example,people live in China all know about the Culture Revolution.Indeed,it is a huge mistake made by our beloved Chairmen Mao in his later years,who believeing in those agitating gossips by some mean politicians with whom he socialize with.These politicians who took advantage of Chairman Mao,and finally led to the Chaos of 10 years cultural revolution.In short, psychologically speaking,the elders is a stubborn group,sometimes even opinionated,therefore the the society also needs to pay certain attention and offer facilities for our elder group which also needs orientation and finally make a more harmonious society.
It is not completely true that we have not yet learned how to raise children who can help bring about a better society for the simple reason that the definition of a better society differ from person to person.Some may say we are live in a society than it can ever be.In the notion of sentence lies an implicit idea that is our society is better than yesterday,that is to say,our society is in progress.Others may argue that we live in a disastrous world than it ever was.This is another notion where implies our society is much worse.In material scale--we have much more commodities and better conditions of transportation and so forth, our society does get better.As to the contentment of the overall human being, then no one can tell whether our society is getting better or not until a investigation on overall human being is conducted.Moreover, in different times we have different criteria to define "better".Some decades ago,we don't use computers much, let along the Internet, so
we assume that it would be better live with computers and Internet which can maximize our convenience to absorb knowledge as well as to communicate.Some decades passed, some people began to stand out to claim the drawbacks of Internet and Computer,rampant Internet fraud,the hacks by virus,etc.I wonder if the author himself can answer the question--what is a better society.
In fact,the society actually does a lot of
work in helping building a better society.Now we have educational systems which can give every child legal education at a young age.Can you imagine how malicious it would be if you cannot receive education?My parents
who were born in the 60s and 70s in the 20th century,because of poverty,they didn't get much education at that time.Now when I asked my dad what he really want in his lifetime,they simply answered that I wish I could be as lucky as you to have the chance to get so much education.In addition,they society also provides facilities for those talent-challenged,physically challenged,and so forth,it has done so much for us to give us the best it can offer. (Merits such as honesty, persistence, probity, kindness and so on are the core lessons inculcated by parents and school systems)
In sum,from my above mentioned analysis, I agree with the speaker that how children are socialized partly determines the destiny of the society, and we also have learned how to raise children in an appropriate way for the society,but whether it can help bringing out a better society or not is a mystery.作者: 草木也知愁 时间: 2009-7-31 21:15:08
