We went through various types of initiation in class. Luckily, girls don't have to be locked up in a dark room to be acknowledged as a woman, and a boy doesn't have to get raped to prove be a real man. The world has evolved by civilization. However, people today are gradually losing the tenaciousness to fight for themselves in adversity.
Even though people in the ancient times had to go through a series of pain for approval, the honor and pride they received after the pain were priceless. People nowadays are taking the technology and all the conveniences for granted because they are born with them. We are so used to having norm materials just provided for us that we lose the morale to battle.
Think about giving birth, as an example. Has anyone ever wonder why it is so nature for mothers to love their children? Since the ancient times, women have always had this fear of someone may steal away their children. This is why when babies burst out crying at night the mothers are always awakened, while the fathers are deep asleep. In my opinion, one of the reasons why women treasure their babies so much is because they had to go through the pain of giving birth.
Also, the society does not expect much from the young generation any more. Teachers praise their students so easily they even say “Good job!”when the kid gets a C. The educators try to make every child feel confident by giving them the same prizes. Children who actually work hard don’t see the need of trying, and students who are lazy just stay the way they are.
I am glad that males not longer have to go through humiliation and unbearable torment in order to get married, but because we can marry someone so easily today, many look at marriage as a trifling matter. The divorce rate is incredibly high in every culture, and I wish people can start concerning marriages more seriously.
