Change: Man's ability to adapt his thinking
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the novel To Sir With Love various human characteristics are
|
|
portrayed. Of these, the idea that humans are able to adapt and change
|
|
their way of thinking seems to be demonstrated throughout the story. In the
|
|
novel, both the teacher, Braithewaite, and his students end up going
|
|
through many changes that ultimately result in their coming to change their
|
|
way of thinking about each other. In life, as in this fictionalized
|
|
account, the ability to adapt to the world around one's self is a very
|
|
important trait. In my own life, this has occured on many occasions. Thus,
|
|
it can be said that to be able to change and adapt ourselves and our ways
|
|
at looking at things to our to our situations we are truly at advantage.
|
|
|
|
In the story, Braithewaite begins with a set of preconceived ideas about
|
|
his students. He expects them to be unintelligent, rough, racially
|
|
intolerant children with no future-hardly deserving of his respect. But, as
|
|
he sees later, they are are the total opposites of his of his initial
|
|
ideas. This is gradually shown through their actions, such as such as the
|
|
students all going to visit the house of their black friend during his
|
|
crisis, or their learning to treat each other with respect;they learned to
|
|
address each other as their last names, inthe case of the boys, and "Miss",
|
|
for the girls. For the students,they learned to respect and really learn
|
|
from their teacher,something they had never cared to do before.
|
|
Braithewaite helped them to break out of the the pattern of intolerance and
|
|
roughness that society had placed them in. They began to respect themselves
|
|
and then to respect others. In short, it was obvious that both the teacher
|
|
and his students were able to adapt their way of thinking to their
|
|
advantage;they did not get stuck in their original set of preconceived
|
|
notions about each other. This is a key point of the novel, this idea that
|
|
people can change their ways.
|
|
|
|
In my own experiences, I have ended up changing my ways as I have become
|
|
wiser. One example would be my relationship with my older sister. As a
|
|
child, I constantly fought with her over everything and never tried tried
|
|
to get to understand her. Gradually, though, as I grew older, I learned to
|
|
accept and to understand her. Now, though we still argue about a lot of
|
|
things, I feel my relationship with her has improved and I am beginning to
|
|
understand her. This has taken a complete change in my way of looking at
|
|
her;I now look at her as a nice person with much to offer me, rather than
|
|
as my evil sister.This has been a true example of my being able to change
|
|
my way of thinking towards an individual. The concept of man being able to
|
|
alter his ways is a crucial element to his living in a society such as
|
|
ours. All of us must learn to accept individual hardships, and all of us
|
|
must be able to adapt to our ever-changing world. World leaders must adjust
|
|
their way of thinking about an evolving third world country, or a growing
|
|
superpower. An employee must adapt to be able to perform his job adequetly.
|
|
All of us have had to gradually adapt in order to live together as a
|
|
relatively cohesive, well ordered society. It is clear that nothing remains
|
|
constant in our world of change except change itself. It is our ability to
|
|
learn and to adapt our ways that has brought humans as far forward as they
|
|
are today. As a species, we have gone from living as naked savages to
|
|
relatively living as relatively civilized individuals. This would never
|
|
have been possible had it not been for our ability to change our ways of
|
|
thinking. For humans, then, it is our ability to change that has put us
|
|
where we are today and is our key to further advancement, both as societies
|
|
and as people.
