Some people feel that the legal age at which people can marry should be at least 21. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In society, there is a belief that a man or a woman should be at least 21 years old to go for marriage legally. I personally agree with the above statement, mainly based on the following reasons. The first reason is that at the age of 21, a person is mentally and physically considered a grown-up adult who is capable of maintaining a family. The second reason is that by that time he or she has already finished his or her basic education and is ready to work to earn a living. The following paragraphs will elaborate on the reasons for my argument in detail.

Here I can say this will more cause disadvantages like issues in the system which lead to dangerous situations. Unfortunately, it is all done programmatically so sometimes it can happen that the correct path system can not decide. These are explained further in the essay.

Language plays a vital role in communicating with others. Learning a language begins from the age of twelve months by just imitating their parents. Children should start learning new languages at a tender age rather than acquiring second language skills during sophomore year.

Children who are brought up in families that do not have large amounts of money are better prepared to deal with the problems of adult life than children grow up with wealthy parents. To what extent do you agree or disagree whit this option?

Some argue that offspring from poor environments are more likely to manage adulthood challenges than those from rich tribes. While there are exceptions of some rich kids struggling to maintain stability, I believe that one's ability to fight challenges that life throws at them is determined by their childhood experiences and quality of parenting, rather than financial status.

The physical well-being of every citizen is extremely important for the growth and development of any country. However, in this fast-moving world, many people do not care about their own health due to their busy schedules. Although many people believe that they are responsible for their own healthy lifestyle, others say that the ruling authority should care for the public's physical well-being. I personally believe that it should go parallelly. I will explain this issue in the following paragraphs with some examples.

Some children spend hours every day on their smartphones. Why is this the case ? Do you think is a positive or negative development?

It is a widespread phenomenon that using gadgets among children is critically excessive and occupied the majority of their daily time. This is one of the negative consequences of technology used in an immature society, and the most contributing factor is the absence or weakness of parenting guidance. In my point of view, this brings more backwards leading to anti-social behaviour and reduced learning concentration.
