impact of modern society on children identity


As human beings we are always busy by working,


studying, solving family problems, etc. That s why we can t


spend enough time with our children. Of course, we strive to


satisfy all their needs, but we do missing their prime necessity,


which is happy childhood.


When I hear the creak of swing, it seems to me that the sun


is bright, even if the weather is hazy. This is my childhood


memory. When I was a child the sunlight came into my room


every morning. I would wake up and hear the voices of


children playing in the playground below my window. I still


think that the sun was always a part of my childhood. It gave


me a light mood. I sometimes do not remember what I did


yesterday, but I remember everything about my childhood


room. I remember not only things, but also smells, feelings,


and senses.


I think about kids, who are left with baby-sitters, and feel


sorry for them. A baby-sitter takes care of the child, but she


hardly ever plays with him. I think a child learns a lot about


life from playing. Boredom is dangerous not only for adults, but


for children also. My parents usually played with me, despite


the jobs they each had. They taught me many things. I rode a


bicycle, skied, played tennis, and went on hikes. For all these


activities, I was with my parents.


From time to time, I asked my father, to his surprise, if he


had remembered the old apartment we had. Why is he


surprised? Because when we moved I was just 5 years old. I


have this memory from my happy childhood. Every time I


return to my old room in my thoughts, I am happy. I


understand what a wonderful childhood my parents gave me!


Nowadays, we faced a lot of changes in our lives, which are


making childhood obsolete. As a result of changing nature of


childhood we get increasing of juvenile crime, drags addiction


and prostitution.


In fact, we can see how our society suffers from victims of


itself. I recollect the terrible crime, which happened in recent


times. A young boy in Springfield, Oregon committed this


crime. Kip Kinkel, this is a name of a criminal, was accused in


killing his parents and two of his schoolmates without any


special reason. Unfortunately, it is not the only case we have to


face to, it is just a small tiny drop among the ocean of criminal


acts committed by children. Sometimes we simply don t know


about them, sometimes we just ignore them, up to the moment


when ourselves we have to deal with it. So, who are these


children: killers or victims?


I often ask myself: why do people

commit the crime? What


is the main explanation that underlines delinquent behavior? I


understand that nobody is able to give me a clear and precise


answer. I think there is a combination of biological,


psychological, and economical problem that lead to it. But, who


could tell me, why do children commit the crime? I think


because their parents in some ways abandoned them.


Such terrible stories bring us a message that juvenile


delinquency isn t one-day process or the disease we can easy


cure. This boy is a product of modern society. We produce


such monsters by neglecting children s moral needs. We leave


them all alone, face to face to the computer screen.


Development of modern technology brings dangerous toy to


our children. It teaches them how to kill and they simply can


transfer the game to the reality.


Based on the above, we can see that time deficit or


parenting deficit affects the nation. We have to be concerned


that illegal, uneducated babysitters are looking after the


children whose parents are working fifty hours a week.


I think that people don t set a high enough value on the


raising of children as a measure of human accomplishment.


They don t know where is the best balance between work and


family. Thus, we can see the result, that such changing in


nowadays childhood have a deep impact on the unformed


identity.


When today s children will become young adults it could be


hard for them to make sense of their lives. Frequently, in this


stage of life young adults find themselves in different kinds of


hard situation. Whatever they are trying to do with good


intention turns out to be bad. In desperation, they can make


variety of mistakes. Instead of coming to their parents for the


advise they can start to do drugs, or become members of some


sects or even worse commit a crime. They cannot come to their


parents simply because parents were missing part of the


childhood.


As I have read, age about 15-18 is the age of the final


establishment of a dominant positive ego identity. It is then that


a future within reach becomes part of the conscious life plan. It


is then that the question arises whether or not the future was


anticipated in earlier expectations. Thus, as we can see by


abandoning children in early age parents ruined future


adolescence too. Therefore they ruin future personality.


In sum, I assume that we should spend more time with our


children, to talk with them. We must sacrifice ourselves for the


benefit of the children. It is our duty to bear. Otherwise, we


would rise following generations affected from the beginning
