Should initiation rituals be introduced for young adults?

There are intellectuals who call for such rituals because they are so important for the personal development of young people. They are lacking in our (Western) culture.

The young person has to prove his character traits, such as courage, discipline, etc., in the form of tests.

How do you see this?

The young person must demonstrate his character characteristics in the form of tests, such as courage, discipline, etc.

and what would that bring? What makes me prove I’m so brave that I dare a parachute jump. This is not relevant to my life. It is important to be brave at important moments and believe me – who your child is floating in danger of life would jump out of an airplane without lashing with him if his life can be saved.

And discipline? How do you want to test this? Discipline in a short period is easy to hold. and more than a snapshot you can’t test. whether the person would do that for years, I would be questionable

or what if it falls through – is it not an adult but still a child? also with legal consequences?

What should such rituals be given to young people?

Usually one learns such things through parental education, because what a child learns up to 4 years, it makes sense when it gets a good example through the parents.

Courage, discipline and, you learn, if you get some rules from home.

If an 18-year-old man gets nothing at home, how should he learn this later, that will be heavier, not for free:

“what does not learn, Hans never learns,”

means as an adult you have it harder to never learn correct rules, because throughout your life you will always stumble on certain rules.

Characteristic properties can be promoted, but this should also be brought into line with education.

You can also run after everyone.

What rules are you supposed to be?

In my eyes, this is not the first/most important values that a child should take from education.

What are the most important values for you that a child learns from small?

Rules are for me that one gets respected by the parents that one can adapt in some situations and that some rules are also intended for our own protection.

If you don’t learn rules as a child, it’ll be harder to adapt somewhere.

Yeah, that’s right. Parents must accompany and support.

It’s exactly what I’m saying.

I also think it is incredibly important that a child learns early to regulate himself. You can have great emotions, sometimes angry, but you should know how to get down. They become even more balanced in adult life.

A child will not learn from all alone how to deal with emotions, but it must get help and guidance to learn how to deal with emotions. That one cannot always win, but also learn to deal with losses.

Self-confidence, conflict resolution competence, understanding, respect (all people evenly).

In my eyes, it is absolutely important that children learn to appreciate themselves early and be treated with great respect. Your needs should never be neglected or forgotten.

Personally, I think this is a bit too superficial than it would be meaningful. How do you mean by which rules to teach exactly courage and discipline?

Nowadays everyone is allowed to stay in many ways. And as a result, others also criticize that they do not do enough for one or are always guilty of own incompetence!

These are cultural peculiarities, often selection criteria that result in recognition or rejection.

This mainly impedes individual development of the individual and the respective culture.

I think this is overtaken.

Ahja.

And if it doesn’t work, you stay a child.

All right, then I want my pacifier.
