The following is a short excerpt from the text 《ag体育》,” by James Baldwin 

Let’s begin by saying that we are living through a very dangerous time. 每个人都在 这个房间或多或少都意识到了这一点. 我们正处于革命时期, no matter how unpopular that word has become in this country. 这个社会 we live is desperately menaced, not by Khrushchev, but from within. 致任何公民 of this country who figures himself as responsible – and particularly those of you who deal with the minds and hearts of young people – must be prepared to “go for broke.” Or to put it another way, you must understand that in the attempt to correct so many generations of bad faith and cruelty, when it is operating not only in the classroom but in society, you will meet the most fantastic, the most brutal, and the most determined 电阻. 假装这不会发生是没有意义的. 既然我在说话 to schoolteachers and I am not a teacher myself, and in some ways am fairly easily intimidated, I beg you to let me leave that and go back to what I think to be the 教育的全部目的. 在我看来,当我还是个孩子的时候 is born, if I’m the child’s parent, it is my obligation and my high duty to civilize 那个孩子. 人是群居动物. 没有社会,人就无法生存. 一个社会, in turn, depends on certain things which everyone within that society takes for granted. Now the crucial paradox which confronts us here is that the whole process of education occurs within a social framework and is designed to perpetuate the aims of society. Thus, for example, the boys and girls who were born during the era of the Third Reich, when educated to the purposes of the Third Reich, became barbarians. 的悖论 education is precisely this - that as one begins to become conscious one begins to 检查他接受教育的社会. 教育的目的,最后, is to create in a person the ability to look at the world for himself, to make his own decisions, to say to himself this is black or this is white, to decide for himself 是否有上帝在天上. 问一些ag体育宇宙的问题,然后 learn to live with those questions, is the way he achieves his own identity. 但是没有 society is really anxious to have that kind of person around. 什么是真正的社会, ideally, want is a citizenry which will simply obey the rules of society. 如果一个社会 成功于此,那社会就要灭亡了. 每一个思考的人的义务 of himself as responsible is to examine society and try to change it and to fight 不管有什么风险. 这是社会唯一的希望. 这是唯一的办法 社会变化.
