TOPIC: 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."

Children are regarded as the future and hope of our society. Their personalities and creativities are of vital importance to the improvement of the society and development of human being. However, it is very difficult to make a clear conclusion that whether we have or have not learned how to raise children who can help to bring us a better society, due to the difficulty of defining "better society".
There is an old Chinese saying goes that children are the flowers and hope of one country. The responsibility of building a better country is the burden of each child. The education they received determines their future development: the scientific achievements and artistic success that they will obtain. Therefore, it is paramount important for parents, teachers and even the whole country learn how to cultivate children to be open-minded, courageous, creative and kind, which are regarded as the merits of a great person. And their socialization result definitely determines the destiny of society.
However, what is the definition of a "better society", a place full of modern technologies serving mankind to enjoy a more comfortable life, or a communism country where no gap between the haves and have-nots that everyone is live happily, or a world without pollution and people are living harmoniously with all the other animals? Without the definite description of a better society, it is improper to judge whether or not we have learnt how to raise children to lead human beings into a better era.
If the better society is defined as a world equipped with a pile of modern technologies, then we might already known the skills to socialize children. As is known to all, with the development of computer technology and internet, the world changed swiftly during these three decades. We use credit card operated by E-bank instead of paper check; we have on-line tuition through internet instead of face to face classes; we chat with our friends in the internet artificial world instead of hanging out. These changes all reflect the improvement created by individuals who were children many years ago. Because of cultivating them successfully, we can enjoy the comfortable life helped by the modern technologies now.
If the communism society is the so-called better one, then we may not yet acquire the ability to raise children who are able to bring us one like that. It seems that communism was the dream of many governors, while it may just stay as a dream. Many failed tries in Denmark, German inferred that no one knows how to apply the imaginary and idealistic theory into the never-end-changing reality. Even we, the people of contemporary, do not know how to make this beautiful dream come true, how could us raise our children to successfully fulfill that?
If the better society is inferred to a cleaner land with less environment pollution, I think it is too early for us to judge whether we have educated well on the later generation about this issue. These days, many countries are concerned of this problem, and had a pile of constructive talks about it. Meanwhile, children are taught with the concept of saving water, planting trees and using less energy. It is entirely possible that the later generation will do a better job of protecting our land than what we did, or perhaps they will still just concern about their own interests and sacrifice the environment. Therefore, I think now it is too hasty to conclude that whether we have raise children well to bring about a better society that defined as a world with more satisfied environment.
With different definition of a better society, we may have several conclusions about whether we have done well on cultivating the later generation. To be honest, the better society in my mind is a no pollution and communism world with amounts of modern technology serving to bring us comfortable lives. However, to some extent, this may stay in Utopian forever.
