ReplyDelete2.the inequality of insurance of peoples basic life
3.the poverty is a world problem in the society,no matter in which country ,there are still a group of people whose basic life can not be insured ,and there is no enough food to surport their daily life and they also have no appropriate place for them to live.whatis the real meaning of their life is to survive toady.there is no hope for them in the future,and there is also no basic human rigts and dignity for them. their only hope is to depend on the surpport of the government ,however their only hope is also not stable for them.on the contrary ,some people spend money just for fun without any consideration of their basic life .
because that is not the concern for them at all.there is one standard for measuring the level ofthe quality of the life which is cpi (consumer price index).the much wealthier the people are , the lower the cpi is,so we can see their basic life is not a problem at all for them ,but for the poor preople they have to conscider their everydays life ,and how to survive nowadays without daring to consider what they will do in the future.this inequality has not been soveld ,in fact it has become a global problem for all the countries.the reason why i wrote this is because i saw a series of pictures the low class societys peoples life,including the most wealthy country ,saying, Aamerica.there are 800thousand of people who are homeless in American society ,just Los Angelous has 90thousand of people who have no basic ensurance for their life.i am shocked after seeing this.we cannot imagine the top wealthy people in the world is American ,but the same poor people as existing in other developing countries also exist in America.so we can imagine how big the gap is in American society and how unequal the soiety is in the world wide.we are human beings ,but we are not treated eaqually.the reason can be diversform and it is not an easy problem for every country to solve.

ReplyDelete2. Chinese home education
3. Today I read an article about the Chinese home education and the differences between China and American, which make me want to say something. As we all know, home education is so important that it can influence the development of individuals and even people`s whole life. Meanwhile, education, education method and education level also lead a significant role in the development of nation, society and even the human beings.
4. Actually, the home education for Chua is extreme even by Chinese standard and Chinese parents always do the opposite things with Chua. Looking at Chua`s(the person appeared in the article) background, we can find that she was born and raised in American but her home education was traditional Chinese way. However, her ”Chinese way” came from hard childhood, strict parents education, and even neglect in American society, which made her eager to get acceptance by the society. Just like what the article said, it`s a need of self-esteem. Therefore, the “tiger mom” cannot be equal to the real “Chinese mother”. But what`s the Chinese home education now? I think it can be listed as follows:
First of all, it`s a fact that Chinese parents care more about the scores, the learning conditions of their children, but not the happy childhood of their children and they pay much money to send their children into all kinds of training centre in order that their children can achieve success under the fierce competition. To some degree, Chinese parents think that they life “bitter first and sweat second” is also appropriate to their children. Sometimes, people always regard study achievement as the single standard to judge whether he or she is a good child or not, which is seriously against the “three good students” standard. It is a common thing that when people get together and talk with each other about their children`s marks and learning conditions. Under this kind of environment, the parents and children have no choices but work hard.
What`s more, each family may have their own family phenomenon and parents may have their own method of education. For normal conditions, it is rare to find the “tiger mom” in China because traditional Chinese family culture is “strict father and kindly mother”. Besides, Chinese home education method is diverse and complicated, and it`s different from unban parents to rural parents, from rich parents to poor parents. The rich parents are likely to use more peaceful and democracy methods to solve problems, while the poor parents also educate their children how to do to get rid of poverty.
There is a proverb that “people respect the son 30 years ago because of father and they respect the father 30 years later because of the son”. It l means that successful people not only make effort to their own career, but also try their best to cultivate their children. As far as I am concerned, most Chinese parents don`t think strict beat and scold is the best way and they prefer to communicating with their children and mutually understand. “Filial son is under the stick and rod” is gradually throwing away by Chinese parents although it is efficient in some condition. In a word, with time flying and concept changing, Chinese way is becoming more and more equal, freedom and harmony.
5. In my mind, there is no absolutely excellent education method in the world whatever it is western way or eastern way, but we can absorb the benefits of each method to improve ours and find the suitable way of education.
ReplyDeleteIn China, there are more and more parents give pressure to their children and encourage them to pursue something. But for the young children, how can they know their dream? How can they know what they real want to do? Sometimes, what they are trying to do is not their dream, but their parents dream. There is a sentence to describe the phenomenon: parents always deprive the children`s happy life in the name of love. I think Chua is a member of these parents.
Recently, I am also thinking what`s the meaningful life of a person? Contributing to our countries and society? Helping others? Achieving our own career goals? Making more money and property? Maybe all of them are right, but neither of them can contain the real meaning. We always say when I can contribute something to the society I will do it. But if we don`t have the thought and the habit to change something for others or for the society, we still cannot achieve even if some day we can make it success.
What is the real meaning of home education? I think it is not what the parents ask the children do something regularly, but how the parents stimulate the children to do something! It is not the parents tell the children that you should to something, but guide them to something that they think right and interesting. It is not the parents condemn or scold the children what they are wrong but guide them understand what they should do. Besides, what affect children most is not the language, but the indeed of their parents.
