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 speaker contends that the destiny of society are determined by hoe children are socialized. And we do not know how to raise children who can improve our society to a better place. I agree insofar as to children’s socialization is significant. However it cannot determine the destiny of society. Moreover, the speaker overlooks many parents successfully raise good children with their instruction.
I concede that socialization is very important to everybody in this era when collaboration always is inspired. Children socialized well make them know how to achieve their goals under others’ help. And children obtaining much others’ help usually tend to be more helpful. Children will obtain more opportunities leading to success in this virtuous circle. So parents should take the socialization of children seriously since its significant effect on children’s development. However, the destiny of society is far more complex than the socialization of children. If parents only pay attention on children’s socialization but overlook other important factors such as their intelligence’s development, I will be strongly skeptical about whether they can attribute to the improvement of society. Furthermore, I do not think children who are not socialized well will not make great contribution to society. For example, many scientists spend most their whole life in labs and rarely meet others in public which will not hinder them from contributing to our society greatly.
The rate of juvenile crime has become more and more high. Many parents complain although they have tried all kinds of way to introduce their children to become person being beneficial to society, the consequence disappoint them once and once again.
However, the examples of successfully raising children are countless. For example, Children who grow up in environment filled with love often tend to be sympathetic.
When children show great interest on subjects like painting, music, mathematic, and so on, if parents supply suitable instruction and education of those subjects, their children often turn out to be outstanding experts on those subjects. Chinese great philosopher Mencius’s mother spare no effort to find a good environment for Mencius to study well during Mencius’s childhood, and she finally find satisfactory environment after three movements. It is that she know a good study atmosphere will
benefit the study of children. So we cannot judge that people do not know how to raise children for the existence of so many successful cases.
To sum up, the socialization of children is very important to the society but is not enough to determine the destiny of the society. Raising children is really a challenging job for parents and some of them have known how to guide their children to be person who attribute to binging about a better society. |
