A good environment can help people to develop

In ancient China, a mother and her son moved house. Firstly, the moved to a small town. Their neighbor is a executant of funeral. Every funeral the son will go to see and to be interesting in funeral. The mother was afraid of her son was influence by their neighbor, so she decided to leave this twon. Then they arrived a bigger town. They lived near market and their neighbor was a butcher. Everyday this butcher killed a pig and sold pork. The mother was afraid of her son to become a butcher in future, so she also left this bigger town. Finnally, they arrived a city. There was a school in the city. The mother bought a house near the school to live. She thought her son will be inflenced by this environment will. The son became a famous teacher and phiosopher in China. His name is Mencius.
Since the ancient Chinese had known that environment will influence people, and it really does. Pedagogic methodology in China is the best example for that. Many parents work hard for looking for a good school for their children. Actually every school teaches same thing, the only diffenence is a good school has a favorable atmosphere of studying. According to this we can know the environment influence people.
In a family, father is a drug user. At the beginning, only the father used drug. However, people lived under the environment were influenced by the father. The mother and the daughter began to use drug too. Finnally, tragedy happened, the daughter killed her parents for stealing their drug. When I know this event I just felt pathetic for them and doubtless environment influences people.
In present day society, indeed, environment influences people. So people are seeking for a good atmosphere. In other side, people should study how to avert the influences and effects from bad environment. That is how do people cultivate themselves to be excellent.
