Have we learned how to raise children?

[Anniehal]

ISSUE: 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.

In my point of view, a better society should include the people of better quality, the more advanced technology and the well preserved culture, all of which depends greatly on the future generation–children. The way we raise our children is different among countries to countries, and it is very difficult to judge which is better, however, one thing for sure is that the new generation is definitely better than the old one.

Nowadays, children become much more open-minded, tolerant and respectful after the socialization process, due to the totally different political system and the fast developed globalization. In the last century, people are separated according to different classes both in western and eastern countries. Under this kind of atmosphere, children who born in poor families mostly grew in diffident, shy and self-abased, while children who born in wealthy families almost grew in arrogant, mean and self-centered. However, with the abolition of class discrimination, children are taught that everyone is born equal, which let them become more respectful and kind; with the development of internet, children have more opportunities to know the outside world which cultivated their personalities of tolerance. Living in the harmonized contemporary, we are more capable of cultivating our children with sound and perfect personalities.

We are now surrounded by high-tech equipments, such as computers, televisions, cars, and so on, which were all invented by those brilliant scientists in recent years. This great achievement should primarily contribute to the successful education method that accept and respect those fantasy theories which are different from the general understanding. Copernicus’s heliocentric model and Darwin’s evolutionary theory were all regarded as nonsense, and they were even despised when first published, while Hawking’s black hole theory received great honor even it is just based on calculation and logic. We now realized that it is very important to encourage children’s innovation, stimulate their creativity and help them to make the so-called dream come true. Leaded by this education principle, children are more brave and imaginative than they used to be.

Passing on and flourishing the traditional culture is also a vital part of socialization. And people today put greater emphasis on the history education compared with the past. For China as an example, she was weak and vulnerable 50 years ago, in order to develop herself, she almost abandoned all the old tradition and just simply follow the western countries. But recent decades, this phenomenon was totally changed. Now, Chinese government pays attention to the history education and takes culture preservation seriously, which can also be seen in other western countries, like United States, Canada and so on. Through the culture-highlighted education, children learn more about the history of their own country which help them to better pass on the old civilization.

Children are now raised under a more harmonized society, encouraged to explore and imagine the unknown world, and leaded to learn more about the old tradition. However, there are still some demerits in the contemporary socialization process. Because of the modern technology, the youngs put more time on the artificial interaction and computer games, other than face-to-face communication and outdoor exercises. This subhealthy living condition definitely has an adverse effect on physical and mental health, which cannot be denied and neglected.

In a conclusion, the development of the whole world is motivated by the new broad-minded generation. Although we do not know how to raise children who can bring us a best society, we do know how to cultivate them to build a better one.

Hi Kitos and Anniehal.
Anniehal’s writing is very interesting.
I thought it was made by a professor.

Good morning Kitos, Alive and Anniehal!

This is surely a controversial issue. Many people now believe that technology will solve our problems but it won’t. I’m completely unhappy that today everything depends on technology, even agriculture. For me technology is so dangerous that can be compared with drugs. In the first moments it gives us pleasent sensations, but when the time that it becomes uncontrollable the death is the only door. If we don’t set limits in the use of technology things will be worst in future.

After two thousand and ten years humankind did not learn that to solve the amount of problems we have now is not encouraging children to innovate but to solve. We manage to create a nuclear weapon but we don’t know how to eradicate the hunger in the world. A nuclear weapon doesn’t create benefits, it creates more problems. We spend billions of dollars investing in researches while half the world population lives under 1$ per day. This is horrible. It’s incomprensible how people can transform a desert in paradise in ten years ( DUBAI ) when peple in Darfur and Bangladesh struggle to find water to drink for many years. If we want to see our children making a better society is to bring them back from the immaginative world and teach them the reality, the past and present. We have to teach them how to find the solutions not ask them to innovate. This world need needs more solutions than innovations.

This kind of mistake is not acceptable for someone who managed to write this insightful essay.

[Alive]

I thought it was acceptable when one wants to show his strong respect for his country.
so, I was wrong, wasn’t I?

[Tomasito]

If you are correct why she chose “SHE” instead of “HE”?

In a conclusion, the development of the whole world is motivated by the new broad-minded generation. Although we do not know how to raise children who can bring us a best society, we do know how to cultivate them to build a better one.

In my opinion, a better society should include better quality people, more advanced technology, and a well preserved culture, all of which depend heavily on the future generation - the children. The way we educate our children varies from country to country, and it is very difficult to judge which generation is better, but one thing is for sure: the new generation is definitely better than the old one.

Nowadays, after the socialization process, children are much more open-minded, tolerant and respectful, which is due to the completely different political system and the rapidly advancing globalization. In the last century, people are segregated by different classes in both western and eastern countries. In this atmosphere, children born in poor families grew up mostly reserved, shy and self-centered, while children born in wealthy families became almost arrogant, mean and self-centered. However, with the abolition of class discrimination, children are taught that all people are equal, which makes them more respectful and friendly; with the development of the Internet, children have more opportunities to learn about the outside world, which cultivates their personality of tolerance. Since we live in a harmonious time, we are more able to raise our children to be healthy and perfect personalities.

We are now surrounded by high-tech devices such as computers, televisions, cars, etc., all of which have been invented by brilliant scientists in recent years. This great achievement should primarily contribute to a successful method of education, accepting and respecting even fantasy theories that differ from common understanding. Copernicus’ heliocentric model and Darwin’s theory of evolution were all considered nonsense and even despised when they were first published, while Hawking’s theory of black holes received great acclaim even though it was based only on calculations and logic. We have now realized that it is very important to encourage children’s innovation, stimulate their creativity and help them realize the so-called dream. Guided by this educational principle, children are more courageous and imaginative than they used to be.

Passing on and maintaining traditional culture is also an important part of socialization. And people now attach more importance to history education than in the past. China, for example, was weak and vulnerable 50 years ago. In order to develop, it abandoned almost all the old traditions and simply followed the Western countries. But in recent decades, this phenomenon has changed completely. Now the Chinese government pays attention to the teaching of history and takes the preservation of culture seriously, which can also be seen in other Western countries such as the United States, Canada and so on. Through culture-oriented teaching, children learn more about the history of their own country, which helps them to better pass on the ancient civilization.

Children today grow up in a more harmonious society, are encouraged to explore and imagine the unknown world, and are made to learn more about the ancient traditions. However, there are still some disadvantages in the modern socialization process. Due to modern technology, young people spend more time on artificial interaction and computer games than face-to-face communication and outdoor exercises. These unhealthy living conditions undoubtedly have a negative impact on physical and mental health, which cannot be denied and neglected.

To sum up, the development of the whole world is driven by the new open-minded generation. We may not know how to raise children who can bring us a better society, but we know how to cultivate them to build a better society.
