Why College Is Not Home
The college years are supposed to be a time for
important growth in autonomy(自
主性) and the
development of adult identity. However, now they
are becoming an
extended period of
adolescence, during which many of today’s students
and are not
shouldered with adult
responsibilities.
For previous
generations, college was a decisive break from
parental control;
guidance and support needed
to come from people of the same age and from
within.
In the past two decades, however,
continued connection with and dependence on
family,
thanks to cell phones, email and
social media, have increased significantly. Some
parents go so far as to help with coursework.
Instead of promoting the idea of college
as a
passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy
and adult responsibility,
universities have
given in to the idea that they should provide the
same environment
as that of the home.
To prepare for increased autonomy and
responsibility, college needs to be a time
of
exploration and experimentation. This process
involves "trying on" new ways
of thinking
about oneself bother intellectually(在思维方面) and
personally. While
we should provide "safe
spaces" within colleges, we must also make it safe
to
express opinions and challenge majority
views. Intellectual growth and flexibility
are
fostered by strict debate and questioning.
Learning to deal with the social world is equally
important. Because a college
community(群体)
differs from the family, many students will
struggle to find a sense
of belonging. If
students rely on administrators to regulate their
social behavior
and thinking pattern, they are
not facing the challenge of finding an identity
within
a larger and complex community.
1
Moreover, the tendency for
universities to monitor and shape student behavior
runs up against another characteristic of
young adults: the response to being
controlled
by their elders. If acceptable social behavior is
too strictly defined(规
定) and controlled, the
insensitive or aggressive behavior that
administrators are
seeking to minimize may
actually be encouraged.
It is not
surprising that young people are likely to burst
out, particularly
when there are reasons to do
so. Our generation once joined hands and stood
firm
at times of national emergency. What is
lacking today is the conflict between
adolescent’s desire for autonomy and their
understanding of an unsafe world.
Therefore,
there is the desire for their dorms to be
replacement homes and not places
to experience
intellectual growth.
Every college discussion
about community values, social climate and
behavior should
include recognition of the
developmental importance of student autonomy and
self-regulation, of the necessary tension
between safety and self-discovery.

Do
you like shopping? Or does the thought of
wandering round the shops fill
you with
terror? For some of us, shopping is an enjoyable
way of spending our spare
time and our money.
For me, it’s something I would rather avoid. Thank
goodness

for the Internet!
It’s more convenient to buy CDs, electrical items,
even food,
from the comfort of your sofa. But
that’s not the only reason:price is an important
factor. We can buy goods and services cheaper
online. But sometimes the problem
is knowing
what to buy. This has led to a type of shopping
called "showrooming".
Showrooming is something
I’ve done. I will go to a shop to see, touch and
try
out products but then go home and buy them
online at a knock-down price. I’m not
alone in
doing this. Research by a company called
Foolproof, found 24% of people
showroomed
while Christmas shopping in 2013.
Amy Cashman,
head of Technology at TNS UK, says the reasons for
this new shopping
habit are that"people are
lacking time, lacking money and they want security
about
the products they are buying". She
explains that consumers are not only shopping
online at home but they are using the Internet
in store or on their smartphones to
shop
around.
But does this mean technology will
kill shops? Certainly shops will change. They
will have to offer more competitive prices or
encourage people to buy more by giving
in-
store discounts or free gifts.
We mustn’t
forget that buying in a shop means you can get
expert advice from
the sales assistant and you
can get good aftercare. It’s good to speak to a
real
human rather than look at a faceless
computer screen but at least by showrooming,
you get the best of both worlds!
