Some people believe that allowing children to make their own choices on everyday matters (such as food, clothes and entertainment) is likely to result in a society of individuals who only think about their own wishes. Other people believe that it is important for children to make decisions about matters that affect them. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Some people claim that if

children

are allowed to make everyday decisions, society may become full of selfish individualists, while others argue that it is important for

children

to make up their own minds about matters that impact them. I agree with the former viewpoint because

if given the right to decide on mundane matters. On the one hand, empowering

children

to make choices in their daily lives hones their decision-making skills. The reason is that if they don’t weigh their options carefully and make the right decisions, there will be consequences.

This

is because when allowed to choose whatever they want to eat or wear on a daily basis, they may become accustomed to not caring about other people’s preferences when making a decision.

This

will stay with them as they grow up, creating a selfish society. I agree with
