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."

The destiny of society deeply depends on the sustainable development, which is not only related to how children are socialized but also related to their realistic skills. When it comes to the next assertion that we have not yet learned how to raise children for a better society, I realize that it is not a reasonable statement. Actually, we have already known what to do to teach children. The reason for that we do not raise children well lies to the fact that we do not act properly.

Admittedly, socialization of children influences the destiny of society greatly. How children are socialized determined whether they will take sustainable development into consideration. For example, by learning the history, the young realizes the social responsibility on their shelters. They knows that on this planet, there are many other people living with them affected by
their decisions and their next generations still need the same resources to survive. Thus, they will think about their way of development with the consideration of others. Here is an instance. During this socializing progress, students learn that thanks to the excessive use of forest, more and more flood happened and destroyed the villages, even took people's lives away. What is worse, it raised the temperature and caused some other environmental troubles which are harmful to next generations. Therefore, after noticing the terrible influence, even though most of this group of children is still in school, they have already thought about new ways, more beneficial for the people living around the forest and more sustainable, instead of the previous one. This example well illustrates that how socialization guides the children possess a sense of the sustainability.

However, it is unfair to say that how children are socialized plays the most important role to the destiny of society. Indeed, the realistic skills are as vital as socialization. Without practical skills, socialization can not solve the problems alone. For instance, application of the renewable energy, like wind energy, have decreased the use of fossil resources and it is more friendly to the environment. It helps people make the sustainable society come into reality. But, if we did not master the skills learned from education to take renewable energy into practice, we now may still utilize the fossil ones even though we have dreamed to make an alter for a long time.
Hence, it is reasonable to utter that the intellectual skills laid the foundation of sustainable development.

As to the next claim, I hold an opposite view. In fact, we have already learned how to raise children in a right way for a sustainable world. The advertisement about how to build a sustainable society can be seen everywhere and we have promised many times to teach our children from every detail. But, we do not take the proper action as what we say and see. It is a common phenomenon in our society, nowadays, that parents always keep water flowing while washing the plates and keep the lights on when they do not need these lights indeed. These wasting actions convey a wrong message that waste is permitted to their children. If you ask the parents what should do, they definitely can give you a perfect answer. Thus, we can notice that the reason for the failure is caused by our misleading doings.

In conclusion, the socialization gives children an idea about a sustainable society and the intellectual skills make the idea become true. Both of them are important to the destiny of the society. In order to teach our children to bring about a better world we need to focus on the details.
