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.
Education, a process through which an individual develops both physically and mentally, plays a vital role in determining the destiny of the society, for the children who are being educated will inevitably be in charge of the future constructions of the society. Therefore, how children are socialized today, as the speaker holds, will have a profound impact on the orientation of the society, while the all-round development is of the same importance.
First of all, individual socialization is so indispensable in education that it may be relevant to one's future destiny and indirectly affect the social perspective. It is known to all that human beings are social animals, which can hardly live on unless be socialized well. To survive in contemporary society, one needs the ability of cooperation, competition, communication, and comprehension etc., which should be cultivated gradually when one is still at an early age. There is a story about how significant the socialization is in the process of a child's growing. An Irish girl was unfortunately stolen by a wolf when she was only a baby, but fortunately survive as a member of the wolves. When she was discovered by human scientists ten years later, she lost nearly all the human abilities including uttering like normal kid, walking with her two legs, and sleeping calmly in a soft bed. All the methods trying to socialized her are in vain, for she can merely howl instead of speaking and crawl rather than walk, and finally she had no choice but to die in the human society. From the tragedy of the Irish girl, it is self-evident that socialization is a crucial factor in education to the children, because the older a child is, the harder he/she can be changed in the living habits and thinking patterns.
Furthermore, as far as the social education system is concerned, although it nurtures many elites who have done great contributions to the whole society, there are still some flaws that may hamper the progress of both individuals and society. Generally speaking, today's education puts too much emphasis on dead facts rather than the creativity and imagination which may benefit a child's future success in the society. In this case, the ability of the children in communication and cooperation, which are far more vital than the formulas and theorems in children's future life, tends to be ignored easily. A case cited often is the dilemma between exam-oriented education and quality-oriented one. The former merely concerns about the marks in the exams but leaves out the cultivation of children's all-round development; while the later makes every effort to develop the abilities that the society calls for but can hardly guarantee the good marks that one needs to get further education. Nowadays, what we have been trying to do is to find the balance to make the children fit for the society and in return contribute it.
However, vital as socialization is, it should not obscure the significance of the all-round development of a child including his/her knowledge, creativity, and responsibility, which help to determine one's own destiny and directly orient the social development. Take Japan for example. After being defeated in the Second World War, Japan attached much importance in education which aimed at cultivating the children's ambition, aggressiveness and bravery etc. Thanks to Japanese education system after war, now Japan has become one of the most powerful economic nations in the world. From the case of Japan, we can easily concludes that the proper education system can doubtlessly expedite the social progress, because those who are being educated today will be the backbones and responsible for the perspective of the nation in future.
In a word, socialization indeed benefits individuals' future success and social process. However, overemphasis on it may lead to some extremes that hampers, or even undermines one's development. What we have to do is to prepare the elites who can not only get along with society well but also have good personal quality for the future.

生命是鱼,生活是水.
而灵魂是鱼听到大海的声音,
即使它游不过去.
千里迢迢的路途,
翻山越岭,漂洋过海,
依旧有沉重的现实要去面对和承受,
所有的感情都会逐渐平静和淡忘
