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.

Traditionally, elements like

but neatly combed hair, bushy eyebrows and keen eyes behind a pair of wire-rimmed spectacles often formed the normal image of a

government

official in a

position.Subconsciously, the majority of us still perceive that important jobs in the

government

are more suitable for

However

, due to revolutionary changes having taken place in many aspects of the entire society, questions have

also

been raised about

this

image, asking whether it is better to nominate younger candidates

instead

. Admittedly, compared to

older

not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied

other

members of the administrations, younger candidates are often viewed as less experienced and

therefore

less competent for some senior posts in the

government

,

such

as a mayor or a director in some department.These positions are so important and their jobs are so complex that they require the candidates to be perfectly familiar with not only their own sectors but

also

the operational mechanisms between different departments.

However

, a leader’s competence and charisma are not just associated with his

/

her age. Rather, they are predominantly about what he

/

she has learned in the past, whether from text books or from previous experiences, and if he

/

she has charming characters that encourage colleagues under his

/

her charge to make more efforts. Both of these are what young contenders are able to achieve.

In addition

, they

also

have advantages over elder officials in many aspects.

For example

, receiving a more systematic education, they have a better understanding of more advanced tools,

such

as the internet and big data analytics, which would possibly boost working efficiency.

Second

, they are often more energetic and thereby more capable of working for longer hours – possibly due to their better physical conditions.

Third

, they are always more flexible and more willing to change, which is a key quality essential for every decision maker in the present context. In conclusion,

although

elder

government

employees may seem as a good choice, the appointment of a leader position ought to be more dependent on his

/

her knowledge, characters and adaptability.
