Besides helping students develop their own thoughtful value systems, educators should
instill in students certain basic values upon which any democratic society depends; otherwise,
our freedom to choose our own jobs and careers might not survive in the long term. These
values include principles of fairness and equity upon which our system of laws is based, as
well as the values of tolerance and respect when it comes to the viewpoints of others. It seems
to me that these basic values can best by instilled at an early age in a classroom setting,
where young students can work out their value systems as they interact with their peers.
Moreover, as students grow into working adults, practicing the basic values of fairness and
respect they learned as students serves them well in their jobs. At the workplace these values
manifest themselves in a worker's ability to cooperate, compromise, understand various
viewpoints, and appreciate the rights and duties of coworkers, supervisors, and subordinates.
This ability cannot help but serve any worker's career goals, as well as enhancing overall
workplace productivity.
Admittedly, values and behavioral standards specific to certain religions are best left to
113
parents and churches. After all, by advocating the values and teachings of any particular
religion public educators undermine our basic freedom of religion. However, by exposing
students to various religious beliefs, educators promote the values of respect and tolerance
when it comes to the viewpoints of others. Besides, in my observation certain fundamental
values--such as compassion, virtue, and humility--are common to all major religions. By
appreciating certain fundamental values that we should all hold in common, students are more
likely to grow into adults who can work together at the workplace toward mutually agreed-upon
goals. 感谢您阅读《GRE作文范文大全(75) 》一文,出国留学网(liuxue86.com)编辑部希望本文能帮助到您。
