We say a child is born innocent.What society makes of him in life?

Question

I am an editor and have to work on many books from various world societies on my desk at educational reforms.I want to know more from parents.

Answer 1

I have to slightly dissagree only because I have 3 children all born from different dads. It's amazing how much there personalities resemble their fathers.
Society does help them "think" by giving advise, judgements, and the like, and so they also make good decisions.

Answer 2

Well I'd have to say that everyone is born practically the same, despite some minor physical and mental differences.

Thus it is society that makes everyone different from eachother. If a person is born into a bad neighborhood then they usually end up being bitter for the rest of their life.

People that have been born into abusive families or poor families will later have a very short temper and think the world owes them something for all of the excessive pain and embaressment they have had previously.

People born into rich or upper-middle class societies tend to be either lazy or very disciplined, depending on the family and how much money they have. They tend to think they are better than other people.

People born in the middle class are usually hard working and ambitious because they can succeed better if they work harder generally, though this is more true for people on the higher end of the middle class. It seems to be that materialists come from the higher end as well, and thus conservatives.

Generally and logically, the poorer a person is the more liberal they are, and the richer a person is, the more conservative they are.

People tend to absorb the personalities of the people around them. For example if a person's friends are very nice but also very racist, the person will probably be nice to his or her friends but bitter toward other races regardless of their personalities. Older people tend to be more racist, but this seems to be fading in the modern world.

People do devitate from the above however, though these deviations tend to be rare and generally not too severe. People want to be accepted, so it is a trend to conform in many cases.

Answer 3

I'm the mother of three girls, also all by different dads, but raised only by me and, to some extent, my extended family. My eldest is 15. She's incredibly smart, but society has taught her that she's on her own in the world (other than her family). It has also taught her of its cruelties as some of her friends are constantly teased as teachers stand by and watch it happen without lifting a finger (or voice) to stop it. It's made her angry that the world is so harsh and mean-spirited. She's a very gentle soul, but she has a spine of steel and I believe that the harshness she's had to deal with outside of the home has put it there. I don't know if you can call this innocence or a lack of it, but it did rob her of some of the carefree exuberance she had in her younger years. She's matured in some ways far faster than she should have, while another part of her refuses to grow up because she doesn't want to have to deal with all of the bull she sees in the world these days. On one hand, that's a blessing as I don't have to worry about her dating yet, but on the other, it worries me because she is adamant that she's not going to accept adulthood in any way, shape, or form...ever. I know this will probably change in the future, but there is always the chance that it won't.

One thing you didn't mention was your definition of innocent? It could be taken in different contexts, so it was hard to guess which one you were curious about. If you could describe what you're looking for, maybe I can post a reply that you would find more helpful?

Good luck.

Answer 4

the old nature vs nurture question. a child is born with a blank slate but many potentials (some of which are inherited). a parent is pressured by society, culture, family to make the child fit into an accepted role(nurture). how the child accepts that role is some what dependent on their physical and mental makeup (nature). what conflicts and compromises arise form the collision of the two carries into adulthood.(how the child copes). my stepson didn't cope very well. by nature, he was a very intelligent, outgoing, fun loving kid. but his natural father introduced conflict by blaming his mother and myself for their failed marriage. we also introduced more conflict by trying to counter that by trying to push him into another direction we thought was acceptable. all this did was to cause confusion and extreme frustration on the boy's part. he started getting into trouble, accidental killed his best friend and looked to his friends for guidance9as bad as that was) and went downhill from there. we don't know where he is today, all we know is that he is using his intelligents and disarming personality to do scams.

Answer 5

Majority of parents care about their children. Some dont give a care in the world. They are the ones whos child ends up in trouble. Drugs,drink, crime... the list goes on. Its how a child is brought up that decides how he/she will be in the future.

BUT... The youngsters nowerdays dont give a care in the world.... some of them... the problem will grow when they have kids because they will install the same treatment as they had when they were young...... it will be a cycle which escalates....

Answer 6

Nurture and environment mould children into what they maybe as adults. If nurture is poor it can have a detrimental effect on their adult life; not enough good food leading to poor health; no physical contact in childhood, feelings of low/no self esteem; absence or low parental/adult guidance, who knows the problems can be endless; poor habitation, exposure to drugs/alcohol/sexual/physical/phycological abuse, not good for anyone to grow up in. Look up Maslow on the internet, he led the way in thinking about how these factors can contribute in later life. Good luck!

Answer 7

No such factor as "evil". human beings do issues that are undesirable for a myriad of motives in spite of the incontrovertible fact that that's an oversimplification to assert that some each and every person is "good" and others are "evil". that's attainable to locate "good" even in the main despicable of human beings, and vice versa. The behaviour of human beings is a non-supply up spectrum on a "good-evil" scale. Hitler, as an occasion, became very prepared on, and form to, infants (a minimum of Aryan ones) and became a good artist. The roll of ecosystem can not be omitted. a newborn who's raised via mothers and fathers who do no longer look after him and in no way practice him to sense empathy for different human beings is a techniques greater probably to do "evil" issues than one that is raised in a nurturing ecosystem. for sure somebody with a psychological ailment can not be held responsible for criminal movements in the comparable way that a sane, scheming individual can. there's no longer an common answer on your question. finally duty lies with the guy, yet different than for the criminal movements of the mentally unwell who thinks there could be any crime if each and every individual became raised via a loving family contributors and surrounded via people who practice him/her by their very own movements to have empathy for others?

Answer 8

Children are born innocent but from then on they are influenced by the culture and environment that they are born into. It is just luck if we land with good parents who love us and have adequate resources to allow us to reach our full potential.

Answer 9

a child is born with two fears, natural fears, the first is the fear of loud noises, the second is the fear of falling (or being dropped)
all the rest are taught to them, and they are taught to them by their parents, not society
the best you can do is to try to undo the unnatural fears taught to children, because those are what cause the blocks to a child's otherwise natural curiosity and love of learning

Answer 10

the child is like the raw material and the education from the parents their behaviour towards child,the school education, the companions of the parents and the child mould . the child. the economic and the environmental conditions influence the mind of the child.
