Lacking in Self-Esteem(自尊)？Good for you!
According to psychological and educational theories,self-esteem is essential for a successful life. Generations of children,especially minority kids,have been educated according to the theory (that they lack self-esteem),and that this deficiency is central to any problems (they may have in making their way in the world).
Well,guess what? A new research has found that self-esteem can be just as high among grade D students and drunk drivers as it is among Nobel Prize winners and former presidents.In fact,people with high self-esteem can engage in,far more anti-social behavior than those with low self-esteem.
“We used to believe that high self-esteem would cause all sorts of positive consequences and that if we raised self-esteem,people would do better in life,”a researcher said.“Mostly,the data have failed to support that."Racists,street thugs and school bullies all have high scores on the self-esteem tests.And you can see why.If you think you're highly gifted,you're particularly offended if other people don't treat you that way.So you hit out or commit crimes to defend your pride.After all,who are they to suggest that you could be doing something wrong?What do they know?
Self-esteem can also be an educational concern.College teachers are constantly complaining about the high self-esteem of their students.
When every grade in the school is assessed so as to,make the kid feel good rather than to give an accurate measure of his work,the kid can develop self-esteem dangerously unrelated to the truth.When he's told he is getting a C grade in college,he can then get deeply offended or extremely angry.Weak professors give in to the pressure-hence,grade inflation,which results in their students'vague touch with reality.
Parents are responsible for their children's self-esteem.
A、True
B、False
C、Not Given
【正确答案】：C
