Why
College is Not Home
The college years are
supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy and the development of
adult identity. However, now they are becoming an1period
of adolescence, during which many of today's students do not2adult
responsibilities.
For previous
generations, college was3break from parental control; guidance
and support needed to come from people of the same age and from within. In the
past two decades, continued connections 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, universities
have4to the idea that they should provide the
same environment as that of the home.
To prepare for
increased autonomy and responsibility, college need to be a time of5and
experimentation. This process involves "trying on" new ways of
thinking about oneself both intellectually and personally.6we
should provide "safe spaces" within colleges, we must also make it
safe to express opinions and challenge majority views.7growth
and flexibility are fostered by strict debate and questioning.
Learning to deal with
the8world is equally important. Because a
college community(群体)differs from the
family, many students will struggle to find a sense of9.
If students rely on administrations to10their social behavior and
thinking pattern, they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity,
within a larger and complex community.
11,
the tendency for universities to monitor and12student
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), the insensitive or
aggressive behavior that administrators are seeking to minimize many actually
be13. 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 from at times of national emergence. What is lacking
today is the14between desire for autonomy and their
understanding of an unsafe world. Therefore, there is the desire for their home
to be replacement homes and not places to experience growth. But every college
discussion about community values, social climates and behavior should include15of the development importance of students
autonomy and self-regulation.
