I agree with the speak insofar as how socialized today decides the development of society of future. However, in my observation, parents and society in the contemporary society have developed a series of great methods to help children socialize and these activities would have a significant influence in children's sociation in their later lives.

The way that children socialized today decides the future of society since the children today are the builder of society in the future. One of famous sociologists in ,my university once said(as I paraphase), the bad habits built in one day in one's early age could spend ten years to be corrected with pains and efforts in his/her later days. His saying illustrates the significance of the quality building in the childhood. While the social ability is just one of the qualities in one's life, it is this ability that could predict your ability to take the advantage of the numrous social matrial resources and make an effective cooperation with those who have extrordinary knowledges in certain specifics. These resources above would determine that whether a siginificant progress in the world could have been done in the future. Thus, how children socialized today is a serious issue we should discuss carefully and cautiosly today.

However, I could not agree with the author's viewpoint that the people today fail to find a method to raise children for the purpose of building a better society in the future if the definition of a better society is a sosiety with more tolerance, cooperation and harmonoty which relys on the great social ability of children today. In many apects of contemporary life, we could find the children are mature enough to care for and even take a responsibility of social events. When it comes to the young volenteers invovling in the field environment protection for endangered species, we could clearly see the little children constitute a group in which there are special painters who are responsible for posters and some out-going children who can go out to orgnize the donations for the environment protecting department. In this kind of activities, children have achived not only the great personal charactristics, such as respect tolerence, compassion, altruism but also the social responsibilities which prepare them the task of building the world tomorrow.

Yet, even though the sociaty today provides a free room for children to take a positive parts in the social activities, the shortages in the society have an adverse influences in the children's quality building. For example, the event that Michael Phelps, a famous American swimming idol, especially among children, was exposed to have marijurna intake, would make them feel disappointment and thus decrese their belief to learn the other great qualities from the young modle, such as persistence in a carrer and confidence to superade oneslef. What's more, the children would become curious about the drug and produce a srong desire to have a try to it. This kind of events autually happen in every aspect around the children. Using the offensive and abusive languages in front of children would sow the brutal and violent seeds in their minds. And making a lie would not make an example to be honesty and loyalty in the future. Thus, in my peripectives, it is the disadvantages the parents hold for themselves, rather the new educating methods, that should be correctted to build a better growing environment for children.

In sum, since the children social ability play such an indispensible role in the building of future, I advocate the society focuses more attention on correction of our adults’s bad habits when teaching children how to socialize for the better future of society.
