What are some of the qualities of a good
son or daughter? Have these qualities changed over time in your culture? Five
reasons and examples to supports your answer.
What are the qualities of a good son and daughter? Different periods and
different cultures have different definitions. But for the judgements of
humanity there should have some basic, qualities describe a good son or good
daughter. Those qualities are always shining around people’s lives and push people
to move forward forever. And those qualities will not be changed with the time
passing by, even thoughts in different area or different culture, they will
stable in people’s mind all the time. Those good qualities include kindness,
honesty, ability of making money. A kind person always treats people or other
species well. He/ She knows how to love and how to appreciate other people’s
good behaviors. Honesty is very important quality for a person. If a person is
not honest How do people believe him/her. She/ He may be cheating everything.
The last one is ab that has ability to make money. The three qualities
mentioned above are the same basic qualities for a good son and a good
daughter.
It
is obvious that some qualities changed over time in our culture. For examples,
for our parents’ generation, a good son or a daughter should have some good
qualities to help their parents do some working, like planting, clearing or
sewing. But now, parents hope their kids to study well and enter a good college
or university. Another example is that good son or daughter should give back
money or other stuffs to their parents when they grow up. But now, a good son
or a daughter could make enough money for themselves and not be worried by
their parents.
No
matter what the definition of the qualities of good son or a daughter changed.
The basic rules are always there. The reason why the opinions of a good
qualities change. Another reason is the policy of having baby in China. Most
families only have one child. In short, the kindness, honesty, ability of
making money and being grateful for something are good qualities of human
being, it is some for a good son or a daughter.
I agree with Amber's ideas. My mom told me that when she a kid, she had to help my grandparents with the house work like cleaning or cooking. But she asked me to focus more on my study when I was a kid. This is a big generation difference.
ReplyDeleteI also agree that the basic rules are always same for all the good sons and daughters.
I agree that there are generational differences; however, it also depends on socioeconomic status (SES), culture, ideology, and family dynamics. That is, there are a lot of factors that determine how much work at home kids are expected to do besides generations. My father wrote about 10 chores on a 3"x 5" card every Sunday. Us three children would do the chores and my father would inspect our work and check them off one-by-one. My sister used to cry when she got her list. I usually didn't mind and now I think it taught me the pleasure of simple work.
ReplyDeleteNo matter how age changed, all parents want to their children became a successful bread maker, but not all the children will grow up like that. In the modern China, good children is not only to be a bread maker but also get into good school. Some children walk on a competitive road even in the kindergarten.
