#130: how children are socialized todaydetermines the destiny of society. Unfortunately we have not yet learned how toraise children who can help bring about a better society
The speaker asserts that the kind of way the children are brought upwith decided what kind of society we end up with. Even worse, we don’t knowwhat we should do to raise children can contribute a better society.In myopinion, the tone of the speaker not so much an authority who is describing thefact as an over-worried mother.
However,I fundamentally agreethat the children are the future of every nation.And how to raise the childrento be the better citizen is one of the most headache things down the ages. Thechildren who are brought up in a society which teach them to be friendly witheach other, help others when they need, work hard and so forth, barring anyunforeseen circumstance,they will become upstanding, warm-hearted and trustableadults. So will be the society, harmony and stable. Albeit there will stillhave myriad inevitable problems in future society, but by occasion of the faithpeople own for each other, they will figure those problems out.Take Denmark forexample,the education system in Denmark believes that the achievement of everystudent should be equal,nobody should be left behind.So the class won’t learnmuch more new knowledge until everyone in the class have acquired what theywere tought before.And as we all know,Denmark’s Happy Planet Index is almostthe top of the world though this country is suffered as much pain of recessionas the other countries.
Let’s take this issue more specifically. Speaking of ‘how’ tosocialize the children,it must relate with at least three aspects, the parent ,theschool and social atmosphere. And even the children themselves, which I chieflymean the inherent temperaments. Considering such complicated situations we needto take into account during socializing the children, I believe that there isno Golden Rule for how to successfully raise a better child. Comparing to ourneighbors, our relatives, our friends, we can easily find out that the waysthat parents raise their children are quite different. And yes, according topopular educational idea, we can roughly classify those into two categories,democracy and dictatorship which former receive more praises. But we shall notforget, some children brought up in democratic families still became drugdealers while three children in Tiger Mom(Amy Chua) family that what they haveto learn, what they should do in a day are all settled down by their mother allend up with going to the top universities in United States. As the givenevidence above, how we socialize the children at least should be specific andpersonal and that require the parents have a comprehensive mind to recognizewhat is the best for you own children.
Somehow I don’t believe there is a certain destiny of society or anindividual or a group of people can facilitate or destroy the society or itsfuture. Every society is always in the developing process and it has it ownway. After all the evolution our human beings have been through, the merits andthe evils are all the essential elements of making up who we are and how we behave.Unless children are strictly all brought up in a certain way and socialatmosphere also encourage that can provoke the craziest side of human beings,such cases are rare, but they do occur occasionally. Such as Chinese GreatProletarian Cultural Revolution and even worse, the darkest time of DrittesReich, but even these didn’t destroy the societies of China andGerman respectively, just gave them a painful pause or regression.
To sum up, if children are the future of the society, the parentsand the social atmosphere are the baton of children’s future. That means how wethink , how we believe, how we speak and how we behave will certainly have theinfluence on our next generation. Before we figure out what is the best way toraise children, we’d better think about how to be a better self. |
