#ln #parts #world #children #ore #freedom #ls #development
The world is changing fast and so are the rules and the norms of society. When grown-ups
today
 compare their childhood with that of
today
's children, they find that
today
's children have more
freedom
 than what they used to have. I believe
this
 situation is largely positive. There are many advantages to children enjoying more
freedom
. They grow up quicker than their parents did.
This
 produces more liberal, mature and adventurous adults, which obviously has an effect on society in the long run.
Today
's children follow the global culture, which is the amalgamation of the good points of the various cultures of the world.
Consequently
, countries progress more rapidly because of
this
 shedding of many traditional ways of doing things and becoming freer and more open societies.
For example
, in India, if
today
's youngster wants a dowry free marriage, he will go ahead and have it against all odds, whereas earlier youngsters could not take a stand against it as it was considered customary.
Furthermore
,
today
's children have the power of the internet and the satellite W in their hands.
Today
's young generation is the most well-informed generation than ever in the history of mankind. They know what their parents and grandparents do not know. They have oceans of opportunities in front of them, which they want to explore. They adopt careers of their choice and do not hesitate walking on the untrodden path. They are not afraid of taking risks.
For instance
, earlier children were pressurized by their parents to take up medical, non-medical or commerce streams, but
today
's children are going into computer animation, computer gaming and other fields, which were unheard of before.
On the other hand
, sometimes
this
freedom
 can be detrimental to children. They like maturity and fail to see the far-reaching consequences of their actions. lt is
also
 the time when teens make mistakes and need someone there to guide them understand what went wrong, take a step backwards, analyze, and again take a step forward. Freedoms should come in small steps so that the teens are ready to move forward having proven their ability to handle each small movement. Too much
freedom
 can end them in bad company and
also
 drugs. To sum up, it can be reiterated that
freedom
 enjoyed by children is, by and large, a good thing, but the onus is on the parents to prepare them for
this
 in small steps so that the negative side of
this
 excess
freedom
 does not go against them.
