As the pressure of social competition is increasing day by day, a complete and healthy mentality or character has become extremely important for us youth and children. Whether different countries, society need talent with both body and mind. So it would take a heavy burden and embark on a long road to train the mental health. And there are multiple factors to influence children and youth’s individual character, the mains are environmental factors and social factors.
Environmental factors could be separated into two different which is prenatal environment and geographical environment. Prenatal environment means a period of time which is 270 days starting from fertilized ovum to baby is given birth. This is the start of a human life. The prenatal environment where baby grows up is like a natural environment. The nutrition from mother, and mood, health condition all influence the baby’s growth. Geographical environmental means the geography, climate, weather and other natural conditions will also have an influence on the development of individual character. For example, back to my home country China, there are obvious differences on individual character between girls from the north and south.
Social factors include the family environment, school education environment, experience from social practice, and some subjective factors. For the first family, it contributes an huge influence on the process of character formation and development. Your parents’ home is the first education pack where children get contact with after given birth. Your parents’ economic status, political status, and their education concept, level, attitude, mode, and atmosphere of family feeling, the role a child is playing in, and the position, status of a child in a family, all these elements influence significantly to a child’s individual character. Which is why we always say, parents’ home is the factory creating your own individual character.
Second, school education environment. School environment plays a leading role in the formation and development of individual character. As teachers control the whole process under their aims of education, it has purpose, it has systemic schedule and a plan. And it is progressing in students’ class time, assignment time, group communication and living and any other forms.
Third, the influence from social factor. Mainly, the social factor influence individual character in paths like social climate and public mass media. Like computer, Internet, TV, movie, newspaper, magazine, advertisement and writing work like story, cartoon, novel and monograph. In all of these, computer, Internet, and TV show a giant influence to modern youth and children.
Fourth, the function of sel-feducation in the formation and development of individual character. Sel-feducation is a motive, driving power for a healthy character’s formation and evolution. And there’s a main difference between human and animal which is human have subjective initiative. As human have self-regulation power, every youth and children could model their own individual character. The famous Russian educationist Konstantin Ushinsky has a theory, self-education is a basic postulate of formation of individual character, so that every enthetic influence takes effect under control by self-regulation. So in this sense, it could also say youth and children are building their own character themselves.
So, at last in a short conclusion, everyone share a different living experience, different family environments, going into different schools and making different friends, which make us receive different influence from home, school and society. These acquired dispositions cause huge effect to the formation and evolution of individual character.
