Do you know the Theory of Jean Jacques Rousseau?Surely this will reflect on your lives

in #philosophy7 years ago (edited)

Born at Geneva on June 28th, 1712, Rousseau’s ultimate belief was that people are born basically good, but are corrupted by society. He also thought that individuals only learn these “bad habits” by living in the city, which is why he preferred a rural setting for children to learn. He wanted to abandon society’s hypocrisy and pretentiousness. He believed that natural education promotes and encourages qualities such as happiness, spontaneity, and the inquisitiveness associated with childhood. He wanted children to be shielded from societal pressures and influences so that the natural tendencies of each child could emerge and grow without any unwarranted corruption.

The underlying thesis of all Rousseau's ideas made me understand the natural goodness of man. It is society that corrupts and makes a man evil. Yes, truth is in our house , because I was born in a family wherein saying bad words like “yawa” is a taboo, we aren’t allowed to utter it. Yet, outside I noticed that within my group they just say it with ease. So to ride on , I tried imitating them until it became a habit of expressing joy and sentiment. In society, I learned so many prohibited things. Back in high school days, I learned how to cut class, bully classmates and even teachers. I even developed the habit of spending excessive time with friends drinking and wandering around. There are even more prohibited acts that stained my personality in my college days. Still, I am thankful to God, I outgrew all of those and surpassed those several trials.

Rousseau in his theory states that the tutor can only stand by at this period of the child's development, ensuring that the child does not acquire any bad habits. I came to learn that Rousseau also condemned the practice of some mothers who sent their infants to a wet nurse. He believed it was essential for mothers to nurse their own children. Now a days, mothers, especially the working ones used to have nannies or “yaya” to look after their children. Well I guess, there is nothing wrong with that if mothers will not leave everything to the yaya all the nursing and nurturing. Those kids still need proper nurturing and hands on guidance from the real mothers. In that way, the growth of the child can be monitored well. .
