Dogs are human friends, and I believe that this is an undeniable fact for everyone. How do dogs become human friends?
A genetic study suggests that domestic dogs originated in gray wolves 33,000 years ago, but what exactly happened in the process is unknown.
Man's first best-known friend is probably a gray wolf. The gray wolf came into contact with its first human companions somewhere in Southeast Asia about 33,000 years ago.
In western Asia, there is an arc-shaped narrow strip of land, like a crescent moon, known as the "Fertile Crescent", which is the birthplace of the Two Rivers Civilization.
When the civilization on the fertile crescent began to sprout and humans began to build farms and walls to build villages, dogs were already helping humans take care of homes and go out to graze.
The prehistoric film "Alpha: The Return of the Wolf Companion" reflects this historical fact, but this film is not a science and education film, its story is very simple, it is the story of a teenager returning home, and it can also be said that it is the growth history of a teenager.
The film is set 20,000 years ago, the last ice age. Humans live together in groups and struggle to survive, in addition to extreme environments, but also face a variety of ferocious birds and beasts of prey attacks.
The leader's son, Koda, was unfortunately pushed off a cliff by a bison during a hunt. Everyone thought he was dead, and his father had to leave first for the sake of his people, and returned to the tribe with the hunting party and prey.
Injured and unconscious, Koda wakes up as the vulture pounces on him, and finally returns home after much hardship in the company of a gray wolf. The gray wolf became a tribal and a friend of mankind, and it was from that moment that the course of human history was completely changed.
The grand scenes in the film and the appearance of prehistoric human survival have instantly attracted many fans, and the story of people and gray wolves supporting each other in the film is deeply touching.
Putting aside the historical background, the education of the father in the film is also worth learning, and the really excellent parents know how to cultivate their children from these aspects.
In the film, Koda's father only appears at the beginning and end of the film. However, the success of the young Koda to return to the tribe is related to the company of wolves, his tenacious will, and his father's education.
His mother loved her child just like our mother, and in her eyes, Koda was still a child, and he was not ready to face everything.
However, Koda's father believed that since he was the son of the leader, in order for his people not to starve to death, Koda must do his duty to take risks and prove himself to the tribe.
This is the inheritance of a sense of mission, the inheritance of a sense of responsibility.
The so-called responsibility is not for you to do, but for you to do. Everyone has their own things to do, and there are always some things that are worth fighting for, even sacrificing our lives, which is the responsibility and mission.
Tolstoy said: "If a person does not have enthusiasm, he will achieve nothing, and the basis of enthusiasm is the sense of responsibility." "In society, giant babies, mothers, and old people are all irresponsible.
As parents, we should let our children realize that taking responsibility makes people happy, and responsibility should not become a burden.
No matter how strong a child's learning is, if it brings trouble to the family or society, it can only be said to be a failure of education. Therefore, educating children to take responsibility is an important task for parents, which includes responsibility to themselves, to the family, to the collective, and to the country.
The cultivation of a sense of responsibility is not an overnight thing, it is a long process, starting from small things, in the subtle cultivation of children's good sense of responsibility, so that children slowly learn to be responsible for themselves, others, and the collective.
If Koda wants to become the leader and lead the tribe, he needs to consider the survival of the clan, and this is his responsibility. His father encouraged him to kill his prey with his own hands, "Only by killing the prey can your people survive; all this must be obtained by themselves, and no one will give it for free." ”
Some roads have to be walked alone, and some obstacles have to be crossed by one person. The child's road always has to be walked by the child himself, and the parents cannot replace it.
The issue of children's safety education has always been an important issue for parents, and children go to school and leave school, as long as there is a condition, someone will be arranged to pick them up.
However, there are still people who are willing to whitewash taiping and are unwilling to let children know the original world.
When Wang Dawei, a professor at the Chinese Min Public Security University, was awarded the "Top Ten Mr. China", the host who presented him the award said to the professor: "I have a daughter, and I advocate telling my daughter that there are only flowers and no big bad wolves, so that the child's heart is purer and healthier." ”
The reality is harsh. For example, in the case of Zhang Yingying, a 26-year-old girl, who wanted to find a house after arriving in the United States, came to a teaching assistant, saying that she could help her find a house, and the girl got into the car and never came back.
If her parents tell her that there are not only flowers in this world, there may be a big bad wolf hidden behind the flowers. Her mind may be a little twisted for a while, but when she meets the teaching assistant, she will think more about whether this person will be a big bad wolf, and she will not get on the car easily.
Looking globally, preventing accidental injuries to children is a worldwide problem. Millions of people die every year from accidental injuries. Regrettably, parents attach too much importance to their children's knowledge education and pay attention to their children's achievements, but rarely teach their children to have a sense of safety.
In the film, Koda's father gives Koda a safety lesson when he sees the Wolf King.
The Wolf King, whose first duty is to take care of the safety of his wolves, is also in danger at all times. Why?
Father Koda glanced at the people behind him and said, "If other wolves see a hint of his weakness, they will come and challenge the status of the Wolf King." With strength and a calm temperament, it declares its position to the wolves. Alpha was not a born wolf king, his position was won by courage and determination. ”
He dares to reveal to his children the harsh reality of society, which is wolf nature and human nature. The position of the leader is not given casually, nor is it once and for all, and the leader often faces more dangers, not only from the outside, but also from within the clan, and must have a sense of security.
In that era of the weak and the strong, it was impossible to survive without survival.
If you want to become a hunter, the first thing you have is that you can polish a sharp gun head, and only the sharp tip can both obtain prey and protect yourself.
A necessary condition for survival in the wild, we know, is fire. At that time, he could only drill wood for fire, and Koda's father did not give this task to others, but personally demonstrated how to make a fire and let Koda learn to do it. But Koda drilled for a while, and before he could start a fire, he gave up. His father told him, "To live you need to be focused and patient. ”
On the way to the ranch, Koda's father had been teaching Koda how to survive. For example, how to look at animal feces to determine the whereabouts, how to use mud as a protective color.
The most he did was to teach him to look at the white tower road signs left by his ancestors, and he put his hand on the stone and told Koda which side of the finger was the pasture and which side was the way home.
He also tattooed the Big Dipper Seven Stars on Koda's arm, and judged the direction at night according to the Big Dipper Seven Stars.
In that barbaric era, there was no satellite navigation or compass, and they could only judge the direction based on their own experience, lead the clan to hunt, and lead the clan home. If you go wrong, you will not only bring danger to yourself, but also the destruction of your people.
When Koda began to discover that he was the only one in the wasteland, he was desperate. However, he soon realized that even if he was not as strong as his father, he could always try to live and try to go home. This strong viability allowed him to live to the end and return home safely.
Survivability was not only very important at the time, but even now, it is still the world's first ability that should be cultivated.
The times change so quickly, and now, the previously enviable positions, toll collectors, bank clerks, are now the first to be eliminated; in the future, with the development of the times, the old posts disappear, and the emergence of new posts is very normal, and change becomes the norm.
People who can survive in such an environment must have strong survivability. No matter where people are in the world, what kind of work they are engaged in, they can survive. Cultivating children's "viability" is the biggest purpose of education. The most important responsibility of parents is to cultivate "adults who can support themselves".
Today's education of children is related to the happiness and harmony of a family, and it is related to the success or failure of a family. As parents, we all hope that our children have a good future, that he can inherit our cause, and that he can be our pride.
As a parent, it is not enough to leave a lot of wealth to the child, but also to let him learn the ability to survive and develop, the ability to face difficulties; what determines his happiness is no longer English mathematics or computers, but in the child's life, whether he can withstand setbacks, whether he can be positive and optimistic, whether he can be honest, self-disciplined, and have a sense of responsibility.
A good education is not only useful for the family, but also for society, but also for the country. May we, in this hot summer, see the beauty and magnificence of nature and examine the essence of parental education.
