小女的issue130请楼下多指教啊,主要是用词方面:)
130"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." 1
I concede that socialization, defined in terms of adapting to and emerging into a society and being more cooperative with other persons, plays a more pivotal role in modern society than ever before, and even influences the destiny of society to some extent.
Socialization effects the behaviors of our next generation by demonstrating the techniques and skills dealing with real-world events outside the examples of principles and theories discussed in textbooks. One need look no further than students in kindergarten where certain potentially changes are acting on children through the process of getting known to their teachers and fellows of the kids in daily life. They could actively find the role of themselves in the collective, realize gradually what sort of means to make others accept their viewpoints readily, recognize whether a girl or a boy could be made friends with, figure out how to attain others’ respect among own classmates. This seemly juvenile method of education have indeed assisted children to set the position of themselves in the society and pursue the objective of satisfying their own need of emotions, respects and sense of self-actualization, thereby ensure that the kids would be able to communicate, negotiate or even cooperate successfully with others in the future and finally work together with other people to construct the society in a more reasonable, tolerant and respectful style. Consider IBM and Microsoft's success. All the qualified technicians, skilled officers and excellent leaders make a concerted effort to ensure the development and survival of the enterprise. In a word, socialization of children is definitely to become an essential determinant of the destiny of our world.
However, socialization is not the only factor which ultimately determines the extent an individual will contribute to a better society and it is even not the most significant one, nevertheless there are some other significant factors influence the next generation and the future of our world, such as the quality of members in a society, parental influence, personal raw intelligence, spirit character and specific experience, etc. Imagine that how Helen Keller could receive the same ordinary education as other children as a girl with blindness and become integrated with others. In the considerate inculcating of her family tutor, Keller could gradually read books on her own by learning language printed in Braille, even though without the formal education system. Finally, she published her own work as one of the most excellent women in the world in adulthood. Those accomplishments cannot be credited by the socialization in her childhood, yet in the end she turns into a model role ,and even the symbol of contemporary life of thousands and millions of people not mere a person who is able to devote to society, by her raw intelligence, special life experience, both the resolution and courage to face up to the physical handicap. Consequently, socialization is only one factor that destiny of society depends on.
Obviously, the speaker’s claim that we have not yet learned how to raise children who can better society is a bit over pessimistic.
In my view, although today's education is not as satisfied as people has expected, it is making great efforts in raising children who can help bring out better society by facilitating their consciousness of social responsibility If we define a “better” society as one characterized by greater tolerance, respect and cooperation with others. We can view these young people as being more sensitive to and respectful of the women, various ethnic and racial groups, homosexual, etc and besides taking on greater cooperation across cultural and national boundaries,such as diminishing the proliferation of Ozone Hole.
Moreover, query the assertion that we have not yet been able to educate children under the fact that we should be proud of various civilization achievements.
In most circumstances, the accomplishments achieved now should be owed to every citizen who devote themselves to society, however those people were largely cultivated by our mainstream education system. We cannot deny the obvious fact that we advance in a vast of areas in both science and humanity and those accomplishments have greatly ameliorated the process of how to raise children of integrated personality.
In conclusion, socialization merely act as one of the determinants of society’s destiny, besides that, our society have already learned how to educate an individual who could make contribution to our world.
