The author argues that the behavior of people is determined by forcing from others not their own making. Some might say, making a decision is totally from their own mind and brain, because if they don’t want to do something, they can. However, undoubtedly, there are no choices for making a decision by their own mind, and surrounding’s force of compression make people do their behavior.
First of all, in these days, the early education is boomed among parents. All of them want their children to be intelligent and smart, so they teach them other languages even if their children do not want to learn. Also, even though the children cannot speak their mother tongue perfectly, they have to start to learn other languages because of their parents. Some parents want to make their children to achieve their non-achieved goals. The children are not stuffs for achieving their non-achieved goal instead of the parents. Children should make their own decision and do something what they want. Parent’s mission is that discover what their children want to do, or want to be, not force them to have mechanical academic learning.
Furthermore, in recent, the social trend is totally changed and confused. For example, if a person who already graduate the school, he needs to seek a job. Then, even if he does not want to have a certification of something such as English, Computer or Speaking level of other languages, he should take them for entering the job. Specifically, the majority of the companies have a form of resume which has lots of blank that we need to fill out as our specific skills. Actually, they might say, we don’t need to have lots of skills for entering company, just have a good personalities and moralities. However, if we really do that, our resume would be in trash can in a second right after arriving to the company’s coordinator. So, like this, the social trend make people to do something even though they don’t want to do. But, if we do not do that, we can easily be laggard in the society. It is not a forcing superficially, but the greatest compression to people’s inner mind.
To sum up, I’m sure that there are some people who have done their own decision not by forcing others. However, the majority of people make their decision by compressing from others even if they don’t want. The society and the culture should be changed for making people can have their own mind and own decision for living better life. So, I strongly agree with the author’s argument. |
