#2. The goal of parenting in America is to make children competent and confident enough to "leave the nest." What do you think of this philosophy? Compare and contrast this philosophy of raising children with that of your country.



In the animal's world, most parents let their babies leave from their nest when they have the ability to survive outside. I think the parents' behavior makes the babies self-reliant for surviving alone. If the animal parents keep raising their baby under their protection, babies can't get fed by themselves, even worse, they would not be able to adjust in their world. Finally, they might disappear in the animal's world.


That can be applied to human world. I think the philosophy about making their children self-reliant is the most important reason which makes America the most influence country in the world. After leaving the protection of parents, most Americans improve the abilities to survive alone in the society which are related to both economical growth and mental growth. From their given abilities, they can easily do business outside of their country and develop the new technology and science field such as the bio-industry and the aerospace industry.

Unlike American parents, most of our country's parents raise their children under excessive protection. They get the financial supporting from their parents in their college days as well as after gradution. Due to such social atmosphere, some Koreans don't try to be self-reliant in terms of economical situation. If parents stop the financial supporing, they would undergo the financial problem and discursive emotion. In order to overcome those social problems, we need to learn self-reliance from America.
