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: 476          TIME: 1:04:18          DATE: 2007-8-10

 

I agree with the speaker's assertion that how children are socialized today determines the destiny of society. However, I am disappointed that the speaker has no confidence to raise children to be the pillars of society.

 

First of all, in my opinion, the word of socialized contains four meanings:

1.) To place under group or government control; especially, to regulate according to socialist principles.

2.) To convert from an antisocial to a social attitude: make friendly, cooperative, or sociable.

3.) To convert or to adapt to the needs of social group.

4.) To take part in social activities.

 

As I mentioned above, children who will benefit to the society should be law-abiding, friendly, cooperative, sociable, adaptable, and active. Seemingly, that is really a hard mission to raise children to be available for society. However, it is unnecessary to raise a child to be a perfect person. In the history even today, many talents and heroes have weaknesses in their personalities, but these weaknesses do not impede their progress. Albert Einstein who was the greatest physical scientist of 20th century was ashamed to talk with others. Obviously, he was not good at sociable, active and even cooperative, but people respect him not only for his great achievement but also for his friendship. There is only one good personality we find among the six mentioned above. Nietzsche, the great Germany philosopher, he suffered from long term depression, and once tried to suicide. It is hard to imagine that he was available to the society, but his philosophy affects generations. The faithfulness was his best characteristic in his personalities.

 

By scrutinizing many aspects of this issue, I think our focus should turn to another direction--- how to define a person who is available to a better society. But it is difficult, because no one is perfect, every person may make mistakes, there must be some evil in human's personalities. A friendly man will have many friends, but he may not be adaptable. An adoptable man will adapt a strange circumstance rapidly, but he may not have any friends, and a sociable man may be a liar. But to define a person who is available to a better society, in other words, means to define a person who is harmful to a better society. Obviously, there will be only one answer----the criminal, which causes convulsions and instability.

 

Therefore, the speaker's anxiety is solved. We can just raise the children to be a law-abiding man, because harmony and stability are the foundation of leading to a prosperous society. Thus, the most important meaning of the socialized is the first one: to place under group or government control; especially, to regulate according to socialist principles. In fact, at present, many countries are taking their efforts for combating crimes. We have already learned how to raise children who can help bring about a better society.

 TOPIC: ISSUE47 - "Society does not place enough emphasis on the intellect-that is, on reasoning and other cognitive skills."

WORDS: 435          TIME: 3:17:50          DATE: 2007-8-9

 

The speaker figures that society does not place enough emphasis on the intellect, especially on reasoning and other cognitive skills. Although the speaker does not put his assertion directly, I think he is against this phenomenon. It is my brief that modern society is suffering more from the monopoly of the cold logic. Almost all fields in society, from education to industry, and from domesticity to international, we are being restricted by various rules, policies, dogmas, regulations, and so forth.

 

In education, the standardized "reasonable" tests are doing more to discipline or, in other words, to limit rather that to free students' mind. Almost every question of nature science has a certain process to get one and only one right answer, which we should use the formulas, theorems and axioms. I think over-discipline will make students' mind blind-sided. There is a question: one and only one boat is tying up aside the river, which can carry one person each time, but two persons are going to cross the river at the same time, at last they get it. How can they get it? I am not killing you, nearly 90 percent of my classmates are totally confused, and most of them are good at math and logic.

You may design many methods to make it possible that one cross at first, and then let the boat come back, but the answer is the two people are in the opposite bank.

 

In industry, the assembly line or the more recent computerization of office is trying to format our mind and behavior. We over-obey the company's rules and conform the interpersonal relationship, as a result, we lose our spirits of passion, creation, optimism and cooperation. One may use the MSN not directly-telling to send massages to his colleague whom is sitting nearly. And some workers only need to look at the assembly line with an empty mind. Machine doesn't make mistakes.

 

Actually, the reasoning and cognitive skills are people's fundamental elements in our daily life, we have many opportunities to train our reasoning and cognitive mind. For example, when you plan to invest some shares in stoke market, you must analyze the company's balance sheet and profit-loss sheet at first, according to the given information and present economy trend to decide that share is valuable or not to invest.

 

Therefore, in an age of information and technology it is more imperative today for us to emphasize on the cultivation of emotion and imagination. The only way to success of individual, organization, or even society is to strive for the aim with emotional mind and rational skills. 

TOPIC: ISSUE48 - "The study of history places too much emphasis on individuals. The most significant events and trends in history were made possible not by the famous few, but by groups of people whose identities have long been forgotten."

WORDS: 413          TIME: 2:43:12          DATE: 2007-8-8

 

The speaker actually tables a question: who create the history, heroes or ordinary people? Obviously, this controversial question seems have only one answer. By scrutinizing many aspects of this question, I think a alternative answer can not conclude a satisfied result.

 

First of all, leaving the answers alone, let's talk about the reasons of the two opposite parties:

People who think the history is created by heroes will say:

In the history, the heroes play a dominant and crucial role in most significant events and trends. Columbus discovered the new continent, George Washington leaded the War of Independence, Edison invented the electric-light, our world will totally different without these great persons. Heroes can accelerate the development of the process of society. Without heroes' great contribution, American may till be the UK's colony, and people may still use candle in night. It is heroes who change our world. Therefore, heroes create the history.

 

People who think the history is created by ordinary people will say:

Of course, heroes have their contribution in the history, however, if there is no ordinary people to participate into the significant events and trends, nothing can be done, because without ordinary people's work, human's cultures and spirits will not deliver and spread; without food, house and road, human can not survive; without ordinary people, all of the great ideas, revolutions, wars mean nothing. Even more, many heroes came from ordinary people. Therefore, the ordinary people create history.

 

To analyze these reasons, both of two sides can not assure their answers come into existence, in other words, either can not prove one another is wrong. So what is the key point? In my opinion, I think it is the heroes and ordinary people who create history together. But due to the contribution of heroes is more significance than of ordinary people, I think that people who support heroes creating the history win this controversy. Here it is but nothing more.

 

However, I am skeptical about this controversy's meaning. It just seems that we are talking about what makes us win the battle, the general's sensible decision-making or soldiers' valiant fight? It is ridiculous and paradoxical. We are all the part of history, and we are all creating the history of ourselves. The study of history places too much emphasis on individuals, because the heroes' spirits, behaviors, thoughts and stories are representative an era's characteristics, which is good materials to educate next generation and is worth to record in the books.

TOPIC: ISSUE38 - "In the age of television, reading books is not as important as it once was. People can learn as much by watching television as they can by reading books."

WORDS: 430          TIME: 3:59:42          DATE: 2007-8-8

 

In the age of television, I agree with speaker’s assertion that people can learn as much by watching television as they can by reading books. But I don't think reading books is not as important as it once was.

 

Generally speaking, television support us a platform to collect numerous in formations in a very short time, we can get the news happened in world in the first time. If a serious accident just happened in Japan, one minute after, we can watch it on television in American. In the past, we should travel a long journey to seek the different cultures, landscapes and architectures, but now we just stay at home and turn on the television, every thing appears on the screen. And information supported by television is direct, objective, three-dimensional and colorful images rather than books of which is indirect, subjective and abstract.

 

However, the TV programs is controlled by TV stations, they play programs according to the audience rating. You may want to watch some programs about European art, but all TV stations are playing soap opera. You may want to watch a talk show again played in last Monday, but the TV station will not replay it just for you. And the most information without selected, which may cause confusion. And people will pay more attention on entertained programs than educational.

 

Therefore, reading books is as important as it once was. To compare with television, the classification of books is systematic, including philosophy, natural science, literature, art, and so forth. You can select books according to your interests and needs. And books are convenient to carry, people could read books on chair, bed, bus and so on. If a student wants to study something thoroughly, books not television are the best choice, which is the most important predominance of books relative to television. The books to be a form of  written record have being used for thousands of years, which is the best form to record human history and wisdom, even today, students remain studying knowledge from books. Books as the oldest source of intellectuals treasure will not be substituted, just like we have computer and printer, but we still reserve and use the note and pen.

 

To sum up, in the era of rapid improvement of science and technology, both television and books have predominance and limits. The television can deliver the last information in time, and the classification of books is systematic. The best way of learning is to combine the two forms together to exert their strongpoint. In that way, we will learn knowledge and information more efficient than before.
