TOPIC: 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."
WORDS: 678 TIME: 01:00:00 DATE: 2010/12/10 19:37:33
As all we see, a society can never be based on some individuals or isolated groups, and it, as a whole, is a complex comfound contain not only those elements but also the relationship between them, making it as an integrety. However, I totally doubt that the level of children's socialization is the only consideration when judging the future of society. In the other place, I agree the latter part that there still a long way for us to raise children optimatically.
Having a hasty look at our society, we needn't much effort to figure out that our society is mostly based on those grown-ups. The leaders of international institutions, the figureheads of national government, and those most famous scientists are of a great part adults. Since they are neither too young to lack social experience and technical knowledge, nor too old to care about their physical health all day and count the days left, in another word suitable for the task of our society, they take the most responsibility of the destiny of our society. In this way, when it comes to many years later, those children becomes adults and they take the torch from the older generation, so their behavior represents the behavior of the sociaty and how they will be determine for most part the destiny of society.
When talking about the importance of socialization, we cannot deny that the relationship between social persons sometimes really keep sociaty's function well and work continuesly. Imagining if all the individuals work in their single room, not joining any parties or playing on the playground, never calling anyone or chatting with other on the Internet, what the sociaty will be? Relationship between individuals is just like the mutual affect between carbon atoms, being able to be diamond or graphit completely determined by the link between. In this case, when people can deal well with others, there must be positve influence on the destiny of sociaty. However, the destiny of sociaty does not only build on the link between people, but also be responded to how is the individuals' personality. Enstain, Ford, Zedong Mao for example, they all bring our sociaty a step further while almost based on their outstanding abilities, and nowadays I think Steven Jobs, CEO of Apple, more or less change our values and his contribution also deside the fate of sociaty. On the contray, Hitler during the World War Two began his aggressive invasion just because of his personal hatred of Jew, and his personal emtion brought catastrophy to the whole world. In that case, the destiny does not only based on the socialization but also refer to some individuals' personality.
When it comes to the way we raise our children in order to bring about a better sociaty, we should concede that we have not the ability to do so. First, society is changing everyday that one second it seems weathy and safe, and the next second it may trap into financial problem or under the attaction of terrorists. Therefore, we cannot predict concisely what the sociaty will be when children grow up and what only we can do it raise them as experience says, hoping this will also work in the following days. Second, the denifition of "better" is respond to the mainsteam of adults' value while we cannot ensure next generation will inherit the same value and make the similar judgement of whether the sociaty is really better or actually worse. Although we can irrigate the mind of ours and tell what the better sociaty is, changes are unpredictable. Last and most fundermental, lacking of educational resourse, expensive tuition fee still stopping students from classroom. Therefore, what we can do is quite limited and we really have not and cannot in the best way raise our children.
To sum up, everyone knows that children are our future and we should try out best to bring about a better sociaty. However, when we focus on the socialization of children, their personality should not be ignored and on the opposite, it should be pay at leat equal attention to. |
