　　Due to explosive development of science and technology, so much is new and complex in our modern society. When it comes to the relationship between the socialization of children and the destiny of society, there are always a host of different opinions held by different individuals in different fields. Admittedly, how children are socialized today determines, to some extent, the destiny of our society, and as a matter of fact, we have already been trying our best to raise children to help bring about a better society. However, the socialization of children is not necessarily the only factor that contributes to better construction of our society.
　　To begin with, it’s true that well socialization of our children will lead to better development of the society. Only when an individual has well developed his skills for living in a society, can he have the competence to make some contributions to benefit our society. It is generally agreed that, significant social projects call for those who have enough social skills, and those who are willing to cooperate with others. UConsider that if a young man is always enjoying staying at home on his own, just ashamed of intercommunication with others, how can you imagine that he will some day play an instrumental role in the development of an educational system with a higher quality, in the establishment of a more democratic society or in the settlement of some social problems?
　　Although nowadays children are not so well socialized as we have expected, we have in fact already spent much time and energy on raising children so as to help bring about a better society.
　　UFor instance, you cannot even find a single high school without enough lectures or programs about vocational instruction and training, and at present almost every school is replete with student unions, student councils and all kinds of other student leagues or associations, where our children develop most of their social skills.U
　　Nevertheless, children's socialization is in fact not the only factor to determine the destiny of our society and a myriad of other factors such as their expertise, morality, healthiness, etc. should be considered.
　　Moreover, among those factors, how our children are socialized is not the most important one at all.
　　UPerhaps the professional skills in one's own field play a much more important role in benefiting the development of our society.U Also, no one can overlook the healthiness or the morality of our children that may determine the destiny of our society Uin nature U.
　　Indeed, every aspect should be considered and we should call for a balance to these factors that lead to a better society. Perhaps it is the whole effect that determines the destiny of our society.
　　In summary, even though that how children are socialized to some extent determines the destiny of our society, yet it is not the only factor.
　　Literally, we have tried so much energy to socialize our children, and in order to raise children who can help bring about a better society, many other factors, such as healthiness, morality, special skills, etc., should also be taken into account.
