In the past, “how kind children” are or “how strong children are” was the most important qualities of a son or daughter in my country. Because, most of the children in my country were died easily because of famine or disease and the government regarded moral as the best value of human being. However, these criterions to estimate the important qualities of children have changed as my country culture has changed. The important qualities of children are more likely to depend on how clever they are or what status are they in my society.
Wages or salary is judged as the important quality of a son or daughter in my country. People more like money now than any other times in the past, and my culture has changed the value of human being to materialism for last few years. So, most of the people in my country judge the children with how much money they earn.
Job is also judged as the important quality of son or daughter in my culture. These days, job shows people’s status in my society. In the past, most of civilians did not earn much money and get any good incentives from their work except specific status. So, nobody judge the important quality of the son or daughter with jobs. On the other hand, all of people are equal now, and a person who works in a high level of company or has professional job can get more money and power. Therefore, a difference of status depends on job and my culture pursues the children who get ahead with succeeding to go higher company or get professional job.
Moreover, how clever someone’s son or daughter judges the children. For instance, my parents think that the children who are poor at studying are bad. Even they take them in their word thinking that the children might be rebellious because people believe that education is the important qualities of the children in my culture.
The important qualities of a son or daughter in my culture have changed to several ways: wages, job, and education but I feel miserable on the other side because the importance of moral virtue has been disrupted from pursuing materialism such as wages and job. |
