As many companies and institutions require their employers to cooperate with each other, to socialize children, which can help them adapt to society better, seems necessary. However, how children are socialized doesn't determine the destiny of society.

As far as I can see, to socialize children is mostly to teach the children the fundamental value systems of society they are in. For instance, in China, Children are raised by emphasizing on being respect for elders, such as teachers and parents, and on being modest when others praised them. Additionally, to socialize children also help the children identify themselves. In China, parents often let their children play together with their same gender friends; Boys play together with their toy gun, while girls together with Teddy Bear. These characters taught by their parents seem necessary to adapt their children to society of China.

However, while to be familiar with these fundamental values of society -- in China, respect for elders and modesties when praised -- helps children a lot in a certain society, socialization just preserve some behaviors predecessor performs. Actually, how children are educated counts more to determine the destiny of society. For example, if children are educated on a higher level in China, they may not just regard the respect for elders, which leads to fear for authorities, as a golden rule, and thus these educated children can make their society more active and creative, when they grow up.

Moreover, it is the educated ones, with an international view point, who can insight problems hidden in society, who can bring about a better society, but not the socialized ones, who are more conventional and lack of higher horizons. For example, with an international view, educated ones from Arabic world can recognize, after educated to understand women's rights movements, that women should be given more rights; eventually, they can better the Arabic society. Nonetheless, the socialized ones, who were asked to play with same gender friends, may not recognize the gender discrimination existed in their society.

Additionally, the assertion that we have not yet learned how to raise children who can help bring about a better society seems unfair, when we consider that a well-designed education system has provide society with thousands of successful political leaders, merchants, and with tens of thousands of common people with responsibility. These people generation after generation make society better, by such as liberating slaves and gain women rights.

In the final analyze, a well-designed educational system, which has existed already indeed, can serve to raise children, who will have higher horizons, to better their society, and even to determine the destiny of society.
