Many countries consider eighteen-year-olds to be adults, while other countries don’t. What do you think about it? Give your opinion and some relevant examples based on your own experience.
Different countries have allocated different ages for deciding whether a person is an adult or not. I think an eighteen-year-old
is mature
enough to be declared legally as an adult since she has sufficient knowledge of the world to make decisions and she is wise to differentiate between right and wrong.
By the time a person turns eighteen, she has spent more than 14 years in the formal education system. Suggestion
mature
This
gives her sufficient knowledge of a country’s culture, economy, vegetation, politics, and society to make informed decisions. A person at this
age
has learned about the basics of all subjects. For instance
, by this
age
, most students have sufficient knowledge of the human body to make an informed choice about diet
. Suggestion
the diet
Similarly
, they have also
learned about events such
as global warming and plastic waste to decide when to use cars and plastic bags.
Moreover
, most people, by this
age
, have developed a strong idea of morality. They know enough about honesty, integrity, love, and care to make a wise choice. They have the awareness about the rights of other individuals and know that violating those rights may attract punishment. For example
, an eighteen-year-old male knows that rape is a punishable offense
and if he violates a woman’s body, he will have to bear its consequences. a lack of politeness; a failure to show regard for others; wounding the feelings or others
offence
Similarly
, he understands the actions such
as theft, violence, and murder and their consequences. Those who are below this
age
have a fuzzy idea about right and wrong.
In conclusion, by the time people turn 18, they have developed the ability to think and make informed choices. This
is important to make them independent in life and to transform them into responsible individuals.Submitted by alkachhibber7 on
