Ngowe-1915, uqhanqalazo lukamama olwaluchasene nokufaka abantwana emfazweni lwaba ngumxholo wengoma entsha yaseMerika, “Andizange Ndikhulise Inkwenkwe Yam Ukuba Lijoni.” Nangona i-ballad ifumene ukuthandwa okukhulu, ayinguye wonke umntu oyithandayo. UTheodore Roosevelt, owayephambili emkhosini ngelo xesha, waphikisa ngelithi indawo efanelekileyo yamabhinqa anjalo “yayikwikhaya labafazi—kungekhona eUnited States.”
Roosevelt ebeya kukuvuyela ukwazi ukuba, kwinkulungwane kamva, ukulungiselela abantwana imfazwe kusaqhubeka ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka.
Injalo ngokuqinisekileyo imeko eRashiya yanamhlanje, apho amawaka emibutho exhaswa ngurhulumente evelisa oko kubizwa ngokuba “yimfundo yokuthand’ izwe” kubantwana. Esamkela amakhwenkwe namantombazana, ezi klabhu zibafundisa umthambo wasemkhosini, wambi kuwo esebenzisa izixhobo zomkhosi ezinzima. Ngokomzekelo, kwidolophu encinane engaphandle kweSt. Petersburg, abantwana abasusela kwiminyaka emihlanu ukusa kweli-17 ubudala bachitha iingokuhlwa befunda ukulwa nokusebenzisa izixhobo zomkhosi.
Ezi nzame zongezwa nguMbutho weVoluntary weNtsebenziswano kunye noMkhosi, uMkhosi woMoya, kunye noNavy, olungiselela abafundi bezikolo eziphakamileyo zaseRashiya kwinkonzo yasemkhosini. Lo mbutho uthi, kulo nyaka uphelileyo kuphela, ubambe iminyhadala ye-6,500 yemikhosi yokuthanda ilizwe kwaye udlulise abantu abatsha abangaphezu kwama-200,000 ukuba bathathe uvavanyo olusemthethweni "Ukulungele uMsebenzi noKhuseleko". Inkxaso-mali karhulumente kuhlahlo lwabiwo-mali loluntu inkulu, kwaye ikhule ngokumangalisayo kule minyaka idlulileyo.
“Imfundo yokuthand’ izwe” yaseRashiya nayo iyangenelwa kumboniso oqhelekileyo wembali yasemkhosini. Umphathi wesebe laseMoscow loMbutho Wembali Yasemkhosini YaseRashiya Waphawula ukuba amaqela enza le miboniso injalo anceda abantu “baqonde ukuba abanakuchitha ubomi babo bonke bedlala ngeeKinder Eggs okanye iPokemon.”
Kuyabonakala ukuba yabelana ngolo luvo, urhulumente waseRashiya wavula indawo enkulu ipaki yomxholo womkhosi ngoJuni 2015 eKubinka, iyure ukusuka eMoscow. Idla ngokubizwa ngokuba "yiDisneyland yomkhosi," iPatriot Park yabhengezwa "into ebalulekileyo kwinkqubo yethu yomsebenzi wokuthand' izwe kunye nolutsha" nguMongameli uVladimir Putin. Kwithuba lokuvulwa nokuxhaswa yikwayala yasemkhosini, uPutin weza neendaba ezimnandi zokuba imijukujelwa emitsha engama-40 yongezwa kwizixhobo zenyukliya zaseRashiya. Ngoku ka iingxelo, I-Patriot Park, xa igqityiwe, iya kubiza i-$ 365 yezigidi kwaye idonsa kwiindwendwe ze-100,000 ngosuku.
Abo bebezimase ukuvulwa kwale paki bafumana imiqolo yeetanki, abathwali bezixhobo ezixhobileyo, kunye neenkqubo zokuphehlelela imijukujelwa kumboniso, kunye nokukhwela iitanki kunye nokudubula kwemipu. okushukumisayo. Umfundisi wobuOthodoki waseRashiya uSergei Privalov wathi: “Le paki sisipho kubemi baseRashiya, abanokuthi ngoku babone amandla apheleleyo omkhosi waseRashiya. "Abantwana kufuneka beze apha, badlale ngezixhobo kwaye bakhwele etankini kwaye babone bonke obona buchwepheshe bale mihla." UAlexander Zaldostanov, inkokeli ye-Night Wolves, iqela leebhayisekile ezinobundlobongela eliceba ipaki efanayo, wathi: "Ngoku sonke siziva sisondelelene nomkhosi" kwaye "yinto entle leyo." Ngapha koko, "ukuba asibafundisi abantwana bethu iMelika iya kusenzela yona." UVladimir Kryuchkov, umbonisi wezixhobo, wavuma ukuba ezinye iziqhushumbisi zemijukujelwa zazinzima kakhulu kubantwana abancinci. Kodwa waqinisekisa ukuba iziqhushumbisi ezincinci eziqhutywa ngerokethi ziya kubalungela, wongeza ngelithi: “Onke amadoda akubudala obahlukahlukeneyo angabakhuseli belizwe lawo kwaye kufuneka alungele imfazwe.”
Ngokuqinisekileyo zilungile eUnited States. Ngo-1916, iCongress yaseka i-Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC), namhlanje kwizikolo eziphakamileyo zaseMerika ezimalunga nama-3,500 XNUMX yaye babhalisa ngaphezu kwesiqingatha sesigidi sabantwana baseMerika. Ezinye iinkqubo zoqeqesho zasemkhosini eziqhutywa ngurhulumente zide zisebenze Izikolo eziphakamileyo zase-US. Kwi JROTC, abafundi bafundiswa ngamagosa asemkhosini, bafunde iincwadi zokufunda ezivunywe yiPentagon, banxibe iyunifomu yasemkhosini, baze baqhube nemingcelele yasemkhosini. Ezinye iiyunithi ze-JROTC zide zisebenzise imipu ezenzekelayo enembumbulu. Nangona iPentagon ihlawula ezinye zeendleko zale nkqubo inexabiso eliphezulu, eseleyo ithwalwa zizikolo ngokwazo. Le "nkqubo yophuhliso lolutsha," njengoko i-Pentagon ibiza njalo, ihlawulela umkhosi xa abafundi be-JROTC bekhulile kwaye bejoyina imikhosi exhobileyo-isenzo esiququzelelwa kukuba abaqeshwa basemkhosini base-US bahlala belungile kumagumbi okufundela.
Nokuba abafundi bezikolo eziphakamileyo bangathathi nxaxheba kwimisebenzi ye-JROTC, abaqeshwa bomkhosi banokufikelela ngokulula kubo. Enye yezibonelelo ze Akukho Mntwana ushiywe ngasemva ka-2001 ifuna ukuba izikolo eziphakamileyo zabelane ngamagama abafundi kunye neenkcukacha zoqhagamshelwano nabaqeshwa emkhosini ngaphandle kokuba abafundi okanye abazali babo baphumile kweli lungiselelo. Ukongeza, umkhosi wase-US usebenzisa imiboniso ehambayo―ezele zizitishi zokudlala, iiseti ezinkulu zikamabonwakude ezisicaba, kunye nezilingisi zezixhobo-ukufikelela abantwana kwizikolo eziphakamileyo nakwezinye iindawo. U-GI Johnny, unodoli ovuthuzayo, onesidima onxibe ukudinwa koMkhosi, uye waba yinto entle kakhulu kubantwana abancinci. Ngokutsho komnye umququzeleli wasemkhosini, “abantwana bakhululeka kakhulu xa bekunye noJohnny.”
Ngo-2008, umkhosi wase-US, uqonda ukuba ii-arcade zevidiyo ezinemidlalo yokudubula umntu wokuqala zazidume kakhulu kunamaziko awo okugaya abantu kwiighetto zasezidolophini, waseka idolophu. Iziko lamava oMkhosi, i-arcade enkulu yevidiyo kwi-mall yaseFranklin Mills ngaphandle kwePhiladelphia. Apha abantwana bebezijul’ ijacu kumlo we-hi-tech kwiitheminali zekhompyuter nakwiiholo ezimbini ezinkulu zokulingisa, apho babekwazi ukukhwela izithuthi zikaHumvee kunye neehelikopta ze-Apache kwaye badubule amaza “eentshaba.” Ngeli xesha, abaqeshwa boMkhosi bajikeleza phakathi kwezihlwele eziselula, bebhayinela imikhosi exhobileyo.
Enyanisweni, Iimidlalo yevidiyo unokwenza umsebenzi ongcono wokwenza abantwana emkhosini kunokuba benzayo abaqeshwa. Idalwe ngamanye amaxesha ngentsebenziswano neekontraki eziphambili zezixhobo, imidlalo yevidiyo enobundlobongela edlalwa ngabantwana ithoba isidima abachasi kwaye ibonelela ngezizathu "zokumosha". Abapheleli nje ekukhuthazeni inqanaba lobundlobongela obungenalusini i-Wehrmacht enokuba nomona ―bona, umzekelo, uTom Clancy odume kakhulu. Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter-kodwa zinjalo isebenza kakhulu ekujikeni iinqobo ezisemgangathweni zabantwana.
Koda kube nini siqhubeka sikhulisa abantwana bethu babe ngamajoni?
