The position of children in American family and society is no longer what is used to be. The 36 family in colonial(殖民时期的) North America was mainly concerned with survival and 37 that, its own economic prosperity. Thus, children were 38 in terms of their productivity(生产能力), and they played the role of producer quite early. 39 they fulfilled this role, their position in the family was one of subordination(附属).

With the 40 of the society, the position of children in the family and in the society became more important. In the complex and technological society 41 the United Stated has become, each 42 must fulfill a number of personal and occupational 43 and be in contact with many other member. 44 , viewing children as necessary members of society means that they are 45 more as people in their own right than as those of subordination. This acceplance of children as 46 participants in the family is reflected in various laws 47 the rights of children and in the social and public welfare programs.

This new 48 of children and the frequent contact between the members of society has also 49 an increasing interest in child-raising techniques. People today spend much time 50 the proper way to 　51 children.

Nowadays, the socialization of the child in the United States is a 52 transaction(事务) between parent and child 53 a one-way, parent-to-child training 54 . As a consequence, socializing children and 55 with them over a long period of time is for parents a mixture of pleasure, satisfaction, and problems.

I have always wanted to share this story because it is one of the things that I will remember for my entire life. And I’m sure 21 person feels the same.

We had a new teacher in my high school World History class. She was very nice and excited to see us. She told a story about her 22 fighting in a war and brought a picture of him. After about fifteen 23 of her talking, the class started talking softly to each other 24 they were getting bored. Looking 25 , she asked “So, you guys don’t really want to hear any more?” No one dared to actually say “no” to her out loud 26 one kid. He said, “No, not really!” in a disrespectful way. Some kids were a little 27 and thought that it was rather rude.

I felt extremely bad for this teacher. No one deserves to be 28 in such a disrespectful manner. 29 , a little before class let out, I went up to her and 30 for the guy’s rude behavior. I told her I had been 31 , and even though I may not entirely like 32 , I did appreciate her sharing her story. I asked her 33 about her father and asked to see the picture of him. We had a very nice, genuine conversation about her father.

The teacher was 34 . She really appreciated me coming up and actually treating her with the 　35 that she deserved. I felt at full peace with myself knowing that I did the right thing and I was super happy that I actually 36 . Even though I didn’t really care for history, I 37 listened, and I hope that others in different situations will do the same. Listening means a lot to the people sharing; it really 38 . If I had just left the class without saying a word, I would have felt extremely 39 and would have a constant reminder, probably to this day, that 40 was not served and I had left a person in their time of need.
