However import- ant genetic factors may be in the determination of human behavior. it is quite clear that such qualities as mu- tual trust. kindness, co-oper- ation and social responsibil- ity cannot be insured through selective breeding; they are learned from other human beings who in some measure exhibit these quali- ties. value them and strive to develop them in their chil- dren. “It is a matter of social rather than biological inheriâ€" tance. Or, as one of the author’s teachers Walter Fenno Dearborn used to put it: ‘He‘s a chip off the old blockâ€"not because he was knocked off it but. because he knocked around with it! “But in either case trans- mission cannot take place without the active participa- tion of the older generation. If children have contact only with their own age-mates. there is no possibility for learning culturally establish- ed patterns of cooperation and mutual concern. moral and social develop- ment on the other. as demon- strated by a researcher Lee Charlotte Lee. suggests that children may be incapable of developing such patterns ’de novo' or of maintaining them in the absence of in- tervention by adults or al- ready-socialized youth. “If adults don‘t once again become involved in the lives of children. there is trouble ahead for American society. New patterns of life have de- veloped in our culture. One result of these changes has been the reduced participa tion of adults in the socializ- ation of children. Although to date this pattern has con- tinued to gain acceptance. there is reason to believe that it can do harm to our children and to our society. "We are therefore faced with the necessity of develâ€" oping a new style of socialâ€" ization. one that will correct; the inadequacies of our con- temporary pattern of living as it is affecting our children and provide them with the opportunities for humanizing experience of which they are which we bring up our chil- dren. but rather what direc- tion the changes will take. Shall we continue to drift or shall we try to determine our course? If so. which ap- proaches are hotll effective and feasible? What are the forces that shape human be- havior and development. and how can they be utilized for constructive ends?“ a sks Bronfenbrenner in his sec- ond last chapter. is is lit Summing up his final chapter. the international child life expert provides an idea for a possible answer to the “teenage delinquency epidemic" by action at the local community level. which well could mean the local town. "As it stands the needs of children are parcclled out among a hopeless confusion of agencies with diverse ob- jectives. conflicting jurisdic- tions and imperfect channels of communication. The school, the health depart- ment. the churches. welfare services, youth organizations. the medical profession, lib- couccrned with the total patâ€" tern of life for the children in the community: where. how and with whom they spend their waking hours and what may be the impact of these experiences on the development of the child as an individual and as a mem- ber of society." says Bronf- enbrenner. "An enquiry of this nature would, we believe. reveal some troubling facts which in themselves could generate concerted action. According- ly. an important aspect of any program at the level of the total community would be the establishment of a Commission On Children which would have as its ini- tial charge finding out where. how and with whom the children of all ages in the community spend their time. “The commission would include among its members representatives of the major institutions in the commun- ity that deal with children. but should also draw in businessmen, parents from all social-class levels; as well he expected to report its findings and recommenda- tions to appropriate execu- live bodies and to the public at large. vi v it! “.\n_\ report of such a commission is likeLv to un- derscore the inescapable fact that many of the problems which besct the lives of chil- drenâ€"and the courses of ac- tion necessary to combat these problemsâ€"lie beyond the power of the local comâ€" niunity to control. The de- sign of housing develop- ments. the determination of working hours for industry. the programming of policies of television networks. the training of teachers and the new ti pes of personnel need- ed to work with the young. and above all. the priorities of provincial and federal spendingâ€"all of these fac- tors which. in the last anal- ysis. determine how a soci- ety trcats its children. are superimposed on the com- munity from without and reâ€" quire understanding and ac- tion at higher levels. “Yet our emphasis here is world in which they liveâ€"a world which we adults have created for them in large part by default â€"â€" can conâ€" vinch us of the urgency of their plight and the conse- quences of our inaction. Then perhaps it will collie to pass that in the words of Isaiah: “A little child shall lead them. . what is called for is greater involvement of par ents. and other adults. in the lives of children, andâ€"con- verselyâ€"greater involvement of children in responsibility on behalf of their own fam- ib'. community and society at large. it or t "Given the fragmented character of modern Ameri- can lifeâ€"its growing separa- tism and violenceâ€"such an injunction may appear to some as a pipe dream. but it. need not be. For just as au- tonomy and aggression have tllcir roots in the American tradition. so have neighborli- ncss. civic concern and deâ€" votion to the young.
