People have different opinions on whether high school student should take community service programme during their third level curriculum. I strongly believe that working in community is a good idea for student; it helps develop themselves.
First, working in community service can provide a good opportunity to experience a part of society in this compete studying surroundings. In this high competitive society, students have little chances to do after-school activities; students are easy to be selfish. However, students who are used to experience social service activities tend to respect and dunderstand others as a point of humanitarian view. Forexample, a research conducted by Seoul National University revealed that students who are voluteering regulary show high index in social development study. Therefore, this compulsory programme are positive ways for students.
Second, the community activities helps students appreciate thier social responsiblity; it exposes them into a variety of social generations. It is common that students concern about their ego during thier puvety period. And from time to time this expericene bring about them many conflicts for their understanding toward the universe, for thier relationship, and shaping thier self-image. However, some students can develop themselves without negative waste of time; they understand their responsibility from community service. By providing contacts to different people, the student can learn about respect others and themselves. If the activities would not be able to, the positive thinking is not be formed. In a sense, It is desirable to expand the social programme to all students in educating system.
Last, Students can learn about necessary social skills such communication, and practical ways for their living. During their activities, they need to talk with others from children to old retired man, which ask for high level communication skills as well as humble mind. On the other hand, students have to choice which field they have an interest before working in the programme. And from this thinking, they can take in a step into social activities.
In conclusion, working in community service programme is inevitable for students in a positive way. I believe this opportunites have to put into high school curriculum. |
