Learning in Life - An argument about growing up!
By Katelyn
Hello, my name is Katelyn and I will be explaining to you how our eyes are shaping our future. Did you know, that while growing up children and young teens learn things not only by going to school but by watching those around them? Well, for centuries people have made discoveries and have been leaving examples for us to see. This is why I deem that what we see as the future, is what we will make of it. Now I would like to make my case, for decades people have been writing about how they see the world and I will explain how this is affecting us today.
Like I said in my opening statement children or kids, learn not only by going to school, but also from watching those around them. That’s why kids who grow up in certain families tend to turn out like there parents. Some people would argue that even though children are able to learn things without school that they must still go to school and I fully agree with that. School is something that everyone should get a chance to go through. All that I am arguing in this statement is that children have an extraordinary super power that allows them to learn things without even realizing it. “Infants as young as 14 months old imitate what they see on TV.” (Andrew N. Meltzoff, 1999) These powers are so amazing and yet most people don't even see it, just like one super power everyone was born with that is going extinct, our creativity.
For centuries people have made discoveries and have been leaving examples for us to see. But how can we do anything with these ideas if we have no creativity, or individuality? We would all be looking at one thing the same way, but these amazing people that we get to read about in our history books, they all saw things differently than each other. And this is the reason that we can’t have a utopia. One of the things that almost every ruler has tried to accomplish. A utopia is a perfect world, but because we all have our different personalities and opinions we can’t have that. If we were to have a perfect world we would need to be robots with out any thoughts what so ever, but as humans from any nation we have been able to see that that option always leads to war. (Debate, 2017)
Now to explain how all of this fits in together. People have been writing about the world and how they see it for a very long time. But one thing that I have noticed is that everyone want to see a utopia, so they keep writing about it. But what is like Newton's first law of Science, every action has an equal and opposite reaction (The Physics Classroom, 2017), was causing others to send the world down the path we are heading. Like I explained earlier there is no possible way to have a utopia as we are today, so what if every argument, every fight, and every war was people just messing up trying to find the right solution to the perfect world? These are some of the things that Russian authors write about. They can give you insight about things you never even thought to ask yourself. Because of them and their writings I believe that our eyes are shaping and have been sculpting our future since the beginning.
