Parents are the best teachers. |
As Edison’s mother taught First of all, parents occasionally lead their children in a wrong way. In many cases, parents are so confident and stern of their experience and opinion that they insist that their children should pursue certain value or career they agree with. However, this is wrong because the parents’ experiences and opinions are often partial. For example, in the novel “Dead poet’s society,” The main character Neal wanted to be an actor, but his father disagreed and wanted him to be a doctor. Finally, Neal kills himself because of the agony and mental pain from confliction with his father. I personally believe that a person should pursue his or her own value and happiness. However, Neal’s pursue of happiness was frustrated by his father, who believed that being a doctor guarantees happiness. Like this, some times parents treat their children only based on their biased prejudice. For the second reason, parents sometimes fail to be great teacher because of generation gaps. Since parents’ generation grew in an economically difficult age, they were taught to study and learn practical skills so hard. Because they had to develop national economy, they had to spend their whole time for studying and learning skills. However, nowadays this perspective has changed. As people are getting richer and richer, more people are paying attention to pursue of happiness rather than economic stability. For this reason, teenagers of these days tend to enjoy various activities such as sports, music, acting, etc., while their parents consider it very unnecessary and time-wasting. This different point of view makes both of them difficult to understand each other, and make it difficult for the parents to be good teachers. In addition to these reasons, parents and their children are spending less and less time these days, and this tendency prevents parents from understanding their children enough and from being good teachers. As capitalism develops and sexual discrimination decreases increasingly, more and more mothers are working unlike before. This tendency caused families to have less time to spend together. For this reason, parents and their children have less and less chance to communicate each other, and therefore understand less than before. Because they understand each other less than before, parents cannot advice children as much as before, and fail to be great teachers. Even though parents are potentially the most effective teachers for their children, various factors in society these days make it so difficult them to be good teachers. Therefore, in my opinion, parents need to try to spend more and more time with their children and understand their children’s points of view. 471글자 나왔네요. 9월 중순쯤 시험치는데, 빈출 중심으로 매일 글 올리기로 스스로 약속^^; 고수님들 점수 예상좀 해주세요. 고칠점들 팍팍 찝어주시구염. 감사합니다! |
