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."
WORDS: 513 (579) TIME: 00:45:00 DATE: 2007-8-5 11:18:22
According to the speaker's statement, the destiny of society is determined by how children are socialized today and the we have not known how to raise children who can bring a better society in future. In my point of view, this statement is too extreme, in two respects. First, there are many more other standards to evaluate whether children can bring a better society tomorrow, rather than socialized; and secondly, it falsely estimate the effect of the contemporary education.
Admittedly, whether children are socialized has a tight relation with the unborn society. A society requires its members the ability of communication or they will be isolated. Though, granted that children now are well educated in every specific fields and may be an specialist tomorrow, if they do not how to communicate with others and play a proper part in a teamwork, rare great success would be achieved and as a result, the society will inevitably slow its pace of development. Furthermore, the ability of teamwork and tolerating others is quite emphasized in current society as well since that one person’s ability is limited towards a magnificent goal. In short, the socialization of children today should not be ignored during the education.
However, whether children can bring a society is by no means due to only one factor-socialization. Many other standards, even more important, must be given equal attention in our education, such as value system, spiritual belief, all-sided knowledge. If a group of youth studying on a research, only know how to talk with each other and share others' opinion, but never give out own suggestion, it can be easily imagined how bad the result of the research will be. The life skills-logical thinking , analysis and creative problem solving, which guarantee the basic survival. The strong wills and justifiable spiritual belief direct us endeavoring in a correct path. In lack of these skills and stuffs, the socialization have little to do with personal life, let alone a better society. Now we can see how important a part certain other abilities abovementioned play in the construction of a society in future.
Yet another fundamental problem with the statement is that the claim that we have not yet learned how to raise children who can help bring about a better society is poorly supported since current education indeed notices the importance of abilities which make children better contribute to society and actually take action in such aspects. Parents now try their best to give their children a better education condition atmosphere. Children are encouraged to go to university or graduate school to receive further education and take various courses to have a wider communication with different students. Quite a lot of universities and colleges provide opportunities to introduce students to workshop relevant with their major courses to gain more practical experience and ability of teamwork. And these abilities are of great importance in adapt and contributing to a society . So we can see children are receiving a nice education and unbringing which can offer them the capacity of constructing a better society tomorrow.
In sum, because the standard of whether children could bringing a better society is more than socialization, some other criterion should given equal emphasis, such as professional skills, spiritual belief, strong will. Furthermore, today's education-not matter from parents, schools or society-should pay great attention to all these respects and actually, rather than what the speaker asserts, is acting a positive role during the process of teaching. |
