Do not sin again

WHY OUR KIDS SURE YOUR COUNTRY flawed?

I was struck by the dialogue that took place with an almost 11-year-old boy. Daniel, was the name of my godson, called me to the computer, for which he played in some kind of game, to show me the splendor of his playing tank, where it is virtually fought. Looking at the tank, I praised him for his victory in the game and scolded because he chose a model "Abrams", which is the US, not one of our tanks, which are in many ways identical to exceed the model of western producers.

He responded to my observation is that American tanks he likes. But I will not, I indulge in comparative descriptive characteristics of Tank technology, delving into the history of wars and military industry due to taste preferences of 11-year-old boy in a computer game.

Therefore, with a shrug, I'm going back to reading some books, he decided to remain silent. However, when I moved away from the table at which sat Daniel, suddenly surfaced in my mind the historical fact about the invention of the tank - the British. What I said to his young godson.

Heard in response struck me was forced to go back and continue the conversation.

And he told me the following. "It turns out," everyone in the world invented by Americans and Europeans. Russian had not created anything and are not able, no matter what it was set up. All the best and need to create the Americans and Europeans, and Russian at all of them only buy. And so on in the same spirit.

To my question as to what it is and who took it is said - he said that he knows it all, and all say so. I wondered who the "all" in the mind of 11-year-old child: kindergarten, school, TV, friends and comrades, their parents and other people's parents and even more adults who like a lot of supposedly knowledgeable, trust children.

Of course, I immediately began to recall the great Russian scientists and inventors, to transfer their endless merits. Mendeleev, Popov, Sikorsky, Korolev, cakes and many others, which could go to remember. The child listened to me with his mouth open, wide-eyed with amazement, which slipped distrust and incredible interest. He just does not suspect it all! What I said, and at the end of the conversation ...

... A few days later in a conversation with his friend, the father of Daniel, I recalled this incident and told his parent my godson. Summing up the discussion, I suggested that my friend should pay more attention to education of his son and try to eliminate these gaps in flawed worldview. As it turned out, my friend was genuinely amazed by my retelling, especially ... the tank invented by Englishmen ...

And all this, only a small part of the Russian contribution to world science and culture. In this case here, I do not touch a contribution to the art, most of the social sciences, and this contribution is not small. And above all, there is a contribution in the form of events and objects, which I do not consider in this study. Such as the "Kalashnikov", "First Cosmonaut", "The first winged" and many others. Of course, it is impossible to enumerate all. But even such a cursory glance, allows you to make the necessary conclusions ...

That's what we need to teach our children and that they constantly have to explain and demonstrate.
