Lacking in Self-Esteem-(自尊)? Good for You
According to psychological and educational theories, self-esteem is essential for a successful life. Generations of children, especially minority kids, have been educated according to the theory that they lack self-esteem, and that this deficiency is central to any problems they may have in making their way in the world.
Well, guess what? A new research has found that self-esteem can be just as high among grade D students and drunk drivers as it is among Nobel Prize winners and former presidents. In fact, people with high self-esteem can engage in far more anti-social behavior than those with low self-esteem.“We used to believe that high self-esteem-would cause all sorts of positive consequences and that if we raised self-esteem, people would do better in life,“a researcher said.”Mostly, the data have failed to support that.Racists, street thugs(恶棍) and school bullies(恶霸) all have high scores on the self-esteem-tests. And you can see why.If you think you're highly gifted, you're particularly offended if other people don't treat you that way. So you hit out or commit crimes to defend your pride. After all, who are they to suggest that you could be doing something wrong? What do they know?
Self-esteem can also be an educational concern. College teachers are constantly complaining about the high self-esteem of their students. When every grade in the school is assessed so as to make the kid feel good rather than to give an accurate measure of his work,the kid can develop self-esteem dangerously unrelated to the truth. When he's told he is getting a C grade in college, he can then get deeply offended or extremely angry. Weak professors give in to the pressure-hence, grade inflation, which results in their students'vague touch with reality.

【文章大意】缺乏自尊?对你有益
根据心理学和教育理论，自尊对成功的生活至关重要。一代又一代的孩子，尤其是少数族裔的孩子，所接受的教育都是基于这样的理论:他们缺乏自尊，而这种缺乏是他们在世界上谋生时可能遇到的任何问题的核心。
你猜怎么着?一项新的研究发现，在成绩为D的学生和酒驾司机中，自尊心可以和诺贝尔奖获得者和前总统一样高。事实上，高自尊的人比低自尊的人有更多的反社会行为。一位研究人员说:“我们过去认为，高自尊会带来各种各样的积极后果，如果我们提高自尊，人们的生活就会更好。”大多数情况下，数据无法支持这一点。种族主义者、街头混混和校园恶霸在自尊测试中得分都很高。你可以看到原因。如果你认为自己很有天赋，如果别人不这样对待你，你会特别生气。所以你为了捍卫你的尊严而攻击或犯罪。毕竟，他们凭什么认为你可能做错了什么?他们知道什么?
自尊也可以是一个教育问题。大学老师总是抱怨学生自尊心太强。当学校里的每一个成绩都是为了让孩子感觉良好而不是对他的工作进行准确的评估时，孩子们可能会发展出与事实无关的危险的自尊。当他被告知他的大学成绩是C时，他会非常生气。软弱的教授屈服于压力——因此，分数膨胀，这导致他们的学生对现实的接触模糊。
