In some areas of the US, a 'curfew' is imposed, in which teenagers are not allowed to be out of doors after a particular time at night unless they are accompanied by an adult. What is your opinion about this?

In the
last
30 years, there has been a great change in both social and economic systems that were immensely influenced by the technological revolution in

on the social structure and the social interactions.
Accordingly
, one of the most obvious changes, is the shift of our mindsets towards the thought of curfew. As curfew involves limiting teenagers from being out of doors after a particular time,
this
pattern of social interaction is no longer dominant or valid in most modern cultures.
Although
the reason behind

Also

this
has greatly influenced my character and inner security.
