Loss And Reconstruction Of Parental Authority

Parent-child relationship is the most fundamental and important interpersonal relationship,which has tremendous impact on one's growth and development.Whether a person can live his/her desirable good life largely depends on his/her parent-child relationship during childhood.Anthropology believes that it's parents,responsibility to nurture future members of the community.That is to say children need to be under parents' education to complete the process of socialization,step into the community,achieve social succession.During this process,authority plays an irreplaceable role to help parents complete the mission.However,from the classical period to the modern,the parent-child relationship has experienced the transition from the family-based pattern to the parents-based patter then to the child-based pattern,which has gradually weakened the parents,authority of education,and affected the effect of education.The modern view is that parents' authority of education is based on their mature rational ability,while the analysis found that many parents do not have sufficient rational ability,therefore they cannot afford the responsibility of education.If we agree that the purpose of education is to help children complete the process of socialization,while the authority of education is based on the rational ability of the educator,then a reasonable inference should be that Children's education should be primarily borne by society rather than family,so that education responsibility and the authority of education should complete the transfer from family to the society.
