Upbringing is essential
Upbringing is the most significant factor that can influence, effect and impact on people. The important and major aspects in shaping the personality are upbringing, environment and heredity. There are great deals of quotations, proverbs, sayings about this influential aspect called upbringing. This quotation was said by Leo Tolstoy, a Russian writer and philosopher, «Everything depends on upbringing». According to Desiderius Erasmus, a Dutch Renaissance humanist, Catholic priest, social critic, teacher, and theologian, «Young bodies are like tender plants, which grow and become hardened to whatever shape you’ve trained them». One more quote from Johnny Depp, an American actor, film producer, and musician, «My upbringing made me as I am now. But I can become merry and happy at once. There were many years I was feeling at a loss about my life or how I grew up. I couldn’t understand what is right or what is precious. At that time, I was so miserable and self-defeating. I was feeling angry with various things. My anger came up to the surface then. I don’t say such tendency has disappeared. Even now there are anger and the dark side in myself. But it’s the first time I’ve been so close to the light».
Everyone develops differently, and “share” of the influence of heredity and environment, upbringing can be also various, peculiar, sundry.
Influence of heredity and environment are adjusted by rearing, it is recognized as the main force capable of giving a full personality to society. Effectiveness of educational impact is focused on systematic and skilled, qualified control. The role of upbringing is estimated and assessed at variance: from the approval of its complete powerlessness and meaninglessness (we are speaking about unfavorable heredity and bad influence of the environment) to the recognition of this concept as the only way of changing human nature. Education can achieve a lot, but it is quite impossible to change a person completely.
Upbringing subordinates human development to the aimed target. Nurture is filling in the gaps in genetic program of human development. One of the most important tasks of a properly organized raising is identifying aptitudes and talents and development of abilities and capabilities in accordance with the individual characteristics of a person. Nurture depends on development itself, it is always based on the achieved level of development. This is the complex dialectic relationship development and education as goal and means. Efficiency of upbringing leans on the preparedness level to human perception of the educational impacts from heredity and environment.
