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."
The children are the master of society in the future. Admittedly, the degree of children's socialization influences deeply the destiny of society . However, I disagree with both positions that the destiny of society are determined by how children are socialized and that we do not know how to raise children who can help bring about a better society.
For the society, the socialization of children is the one of means by which social’s harmony and propersity are attained. By socialization, the children are inducted into the skills required for functioning successfully in society. The children well socialized can blend in society positively and contribute more to the development of the society. To the contrary, if a child is not euduated with right values, moral norms, or motives of the society, it is possible the child become anti-social. The classical example is the terrorists, some of whom are falsely inducted when children. So the children's socialization counts for much to our society.
Nevertheless, there are other features which influence the children’s contributions to society. For instance, the creativity of children contributes much to the development of our society, which we can conclude from Henry Ford’s example. As a children, Ford had little formal education. But he often creat some creative machines by himself. Just due to the creativity, his introduction of the Model T automobile revolutionized transportation and American industry. Likewise, developing the interest of children is significant to our society. Consider the prominent Swedish naturalist,Carolus Linnaeus. Without doubt, it is the passion brought up by his father that drives him develop binomial nomenclature to classify and organize plants and animals.
Then, have we learned how to raise children who can help bring about a better society? Review the most recent century, ‘the children’ have made a better society. In the territory of technology, there are plenty of inventions making our life more and more glorious. The breakthrough of the medicine prolongs humanity’s average life time. The appearance of Network shorts the distance among people. In the relam of art, the prosperity of film, the richness of literature, and so on, make our life more colorful. Also the humanity environment sees a huge progress. The ideas of Freedom and Democracy strike deeper roots in the hearts of people. People have greater tolerance of different viewpoints and people who differs form themselves. The sense of resorting the path of peace to resolving problems has obtained the widespread approval. Apparantly, if we know little about how to raise children contributing to society, where do these progresses above come from?
Overall, it is many features of children, such as socialization, creativity, interest, and so on, that influence collaborately their contributions to our society. And in my view, we have learned much on how to raise children contributing to better society. Fundamentally, I disagree with both positons of the author. |
