Culture means any human behavior that is learned by human society. All of the meaningful parts of a culture are passed on to different generations through “tradition” or social leaning. From this viewpoint, all human groups have a culture. Culture exists in agricultural as well as industrialized societies.

  Culture is necessary for the survival and existence of human beings as human beings. Practically everything humans know, think, value, feel and do is learned through taking part in a social cultural system. This statement is well supported by some well-written cases. Here’s one of the cases of children growing up apart from human society. In the province of Midnapore in India, the director of a children’s home was told by the local villagers that there were “ghosts(鬼)” in the forest. Upon looking into the cases, the director found that two children, one about eight years old and the other about six years old, appeared to have been living with a group of wolves in the forest. These children were the ghosts described by the local people. In this diary, the director describes his first view of Kamala(as the older child named) and Amana(the name of the younger child).

  Kamala was a terrible being, the head, a big ball of something coving the shoulder. Close at its heels there came another terrible creature exactly like the first but smaller in size. Their eyes were bright and sharp, unlike human eyes. They were very fond of raw milk and raw meat. Generally, as they got stronger, they began going on all fours, and afterwards began to run on all fours, just like squirrels.

  Children learn human languages in the same way they learn other kinds of human behavior – by taking part in a cultural community. They learn a certain human language as well as certain kinds of human behavior through their membership in certain cultural community.

Prevention is better than cure. This saying has never been more appropriate than with reference to vaccination (接种疫苗). There are two main types of vaccines—live vaccines and killed or inactivated vaccines. Live vaccines are vaccines that contain disease causing antigens which are altered in such a way that weakens them to the point that they're no longer able to cause the disease. Killed or inactivated vaccines contain microbes (细菌) that have already been treated by chemical means to prevent them from copying or causing diseases. This means that any kind of vaccine for children cannot produce diseases, but can only help the body in creating antibodies that prevent that particular disease.

For a vaccine to make it to the market, its safety has to be confirmed. So most vaccinations for children are generally quite safe and are essential to children's health.

Vaccination can create immunity to various childhood diseases through deliberate artificial stimulation of the body's defenses. Among children, vaccinations not only prevent diseases and disorders, but also protect the health of the community, especially of those who aren't immunized (使免疫). For example, infants that are less than a year old cannot be given a measles (麻疹疫苗) vaccine but can be infected by measles. This can be prevented if people suitable for vaccination do get themselves vaccinated.

However, no vaccination is hundred percent safe, and there're always certain risks involved in vaccinations for children. For example, general side effects like pain, redness, headaches, swelling or a small lump at the site of the injection are common. Sometimes allergic (过敏) reactions may happen as well.

Therefore, when choosing any vaccination, parents should make an informed decision by weighing all pros and cons of vaccination for children. After all, the side effects of vaccines for children are far less severe, when compared to the symptoms of the diseases they prevent!
