It is primarily through our identification with social groups that we define ourselves.
定位自己,主要是通过定位自己所处的社会团体。
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Nowadays, there is a popular statement that it is mainly by identification from social groups that we define ourselves. I support this assertion. Identifications from social groups are the symbols which can be used as a tool to classify various people.
First of all, individual select different social groups and join them from their own interests, backgrounds, educations, classes and something else spontaneously. There is a famous saying from Cicero that" Like to like". So it is. People gather together from their various factors and join social groups by themselves. Take my experience for example. When I was a little boy, I used to like playing basketball very much. Thus, I stayed with those who shared my interest everyday. We both got very well with each other, chatting and playing. However, when I got tired from that game, I scarcely play basketball, neither with those people. Therefore, from my experience, we can see that individual choose their social groups naturally from many aspects.
At the same time, social groups have some specific features of their own and can be representative of them. Chinese usually say that" Birds of a feather flock together". Certainly, it is. This adage tell us people share with common will get together. Thus, from the studying of the general traits of social groups, people can easily be recognized and classified into certain groups. Therefore, the identification from the view of social groups is representative and reasonable . Take a academic research for instance. After the second world war, in order to get well with Japan--a strange Asian nation, U. S. government assign a famous professor-- Susan Scharfman to study the common character of Japanese. The result was that world-famous book named The Sword & the Chrysanthemum, Journey of the Heart .This book is the study of racial character of Japanese. With the help of this successful investigation, the allied forces, especially the U.S. army know the characteristic of Japanese and can easily get well with them, as they had known the common features of them. Therefore, from the illustration and analysis above, we can see that it is precise and effective to identify people from their social groups.
Admittedly, it is spontaneous for individual to join a certain social groups from various factors, however, for the significant and irreplaceable influence of social groups on people’s development, we should designedly and cautiously select a certain groups, which will promote ourselves. I can think no better illustration than a friend of mine. He used to be excellent in study. However, by keeping touch with idlers more often, he did not want to study yet and his daily life was replete with chuckling and dancing all the time. Unfortunately, he was forced to leave school in the end. Thereby, from this negative example, it is too careless to ignore the social groups which you want to join.
In brief, through the identification from social groups, people can be surely classified. As social groups have their characteristic features and representative enough to identify people. Therefore, people must be purposely and cautiously to select social groups and join them .
My Problems:
1.There is a famous saying from Cicero that" Like to like". So it is.
2.a strange and 难打交道的Asian nation, 用什么词好? |
