D
About six years ago,I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table.I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation.At one point the woman asked,“So,how have you been?” And the boy — who could not have been more than seven or eight years old — replied,“Sorry,to tell you the truth,I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing.As far as I can remember,my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.
Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years.Children don’t seem childlike anymore.Children speak more like adults,dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say,but it certainly is different.Childhood as once was no longer exists.Why?
Human development is dependant not only on born biological states,but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge.Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the social positions.Children have always been taught adult secrets,but slowly and in a stage; traditionally,we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years,however,a secret-revelation machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes.It is called television.Television passes information to all viewers alike,whether they are children or adults.Unable to resist the temptation (诱惑),many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging but more attractive moving pictures.
Communication through print as a matter of fact allows for a great deal of control over the social information children have gained.Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced.Children must read books before they can read complex materials.
大约6年前,我是吃午饭的一家餐馆在纽约市时,一名妇女和一名小男孩坐在下表.我不禁听到他们的谈话部分.有一次她问道: “那么,你是如何? ”的男孩儿-谁不可能超过7或8岁的孩子-回答说: “很抱歉,说实话,我一直感觉近来很少沮丧. “
这起事件停留在我的脑海,因为它证实了我越来越相信,儿童正在发生变化.至于我还记得,我的朋友们,我也没有找到我们“沮丧” ,直到我们都在高中.
毫无疑问,改变儿童以来一直稳步上升,在最近几年.儿童似乎没有孩子气了.儿童说话更像成人,穿着更象成年人和表现更像成人比过去.
这是否是好还是坏很难说,但它肯定是不同的.童年一旦不再存在.为什么?
人类发展是依赖不仅出生生物国,而且对社会形态中获得知识.从一个社会运动的作用,通常需要学习的另一个秘密的社会地位.儿童一直教成人的秘密,但慢慢地,在一个阶段;传统上,我们六年级的事情告诉我们继续隐藏五年级.
在过去30年中,但是,一个秘密,启示机已经装备在百分之九十八的美国家庭.这就是所谓的电视.电视通行证资料都向所有观众,无论他们是儿童或者成人.无法抗拒的诱惑(诱惑) ,许多儿童把他们的注意力从印刷文本,但不具有挑战性的更具吸引力的活动图像.
通信通过印刷事实上允许了大量的控制儿童的社会信息获得.阅读和写作涉及一个复杂的代码的符号必须背诵和练习.儿童必须阅读的书籍,才可以阅读复杂的材料.
