Some people think young people are not suitable for important positions in the government，while other people think it is a good idea for young people to take on these positions. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

It becomes increasingly common to see young people undertake important positions in the government. Personally, I think it is a good trend as the younger generation is the major force for social reform and progress. Some people would argue that young people can be

underqualified

for these posts, given their little experience in handling public affairs. Traditionally, one of the conditions of being promoted to a

position is to spend years working as a public servant at grassroots level. Over the years, one develops his administrative skills, interpersonal network and problem-solving ability needed for future leadership.

to be challenged by the elder staff who are reluctant to follow orders of someone younger and less experienced than themselves. In a word, young people may encounter quite a few challenges concerning their abilities and personnel management.

On the other hand

, it can be a good thing to have more young people undertake important positions.

First

of all, young people are more audacious in decision-making and willing to make reforms, compared with the elder decision-makers who tend to stay with safe options. In

sense, they are more likely to push forward the social development.

Furthermore

rather than just their own personal will. In my opinion, young people should be encouraged to hold important posts in the government. While it facilitates innovation and reform, it

encourages young people to take responsibilities for the nation and society, and to be aware that they are the major force of country development.
