No one likes to listen to the elders' instructions, even if we understand that they are right and reproaches are fair. But notations are a part of education, and any. And if the formation of a person proceeds without them, then the very creation of personality does not occur. Restrictions are the main meaning of socialization and education; if they are not, then there is no education.
Origin
The word came to the literary language from the argo seminarians, where the notation is “remark, censure, reprimand” (from Latin notatio). Similar words are in English and Italian. In English, notice is “notice, announcement, notice, warning”. If you understand the word differently, as a verb, then it is "notice, notify, inform." In English, as we see, the word has lost its police tint.
In general, the life of students in theological seminaries was severe and painful, judging by how many wonderful words he (life) gave us. But we repeat: notation is not a reprimand, but rather a warning. Because those children (and adults) who do not obey older comrades tend to get into trouble.
Value
So, we realized that the seminarians were great guys, funny and resourceful, like our modern students. Therefore, it is interesting to learn about the connection of times: how does the historical meaning of the word “notation” agree with modern? We ask our main expert - an explanatory dictionary:
- Long admonition, edifying reprimand.
- The system of conventional written designations of something (special).
But do not think that this is the meaning of one word, in fact, the list combines the meaning of two homonyms. The second term is special and probably related to such a noun as a “note”, which is borrowed from French. It goes back, as it is easy to understand, to Latin, where nota is a “remark”.
Notation as a factor in education
The temptation is too great not to yield. Nevertheless, this is interesting: is notation good or evil of upbringing? Most children probably believe that it is evil, and adults have a different opinion, otherwise they would not read morality to their offspring. Moreover, we reproduce the same behavior from generation to generation.
Yes, theories that say that children under a certain age need to be allowed are all in vogue. But those who accept this point of view forget that a similar approach was born in Japan, and there is a completely different culture. Up to a certain age, almost everything is allowed to children there only because then the children fall into such a vice of a traditional society that our children have not even heard of. Therefore, educational anarchy in our case is not the best solution. This means that the notation cannot be stigmatized and put away in the closet as a relic of the past. The meaning of upbringing, as stated at the beginning, is to limit and learn this from a young age. By the way, some adults should also exercise in such a way, it will only get better.
