Some people believe that teenagers should be required to do unpaid community work in their free time. This can benefit teenagers and the community as well. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Some people suggest that
adolescents
should do volunteer community
work
during their leisure time as it may be beneficial to them and society as well. I tend to agree with this
statement, as in my view the best way to develop the sense of community
among teenagers
is to give them the opportunity to observe others reality practically. Furthermore
, the community
would be benefited from new ideas or projects from the teenagers
.
To begin
with, adolescents
usually learn from the environment that they live and neighbourhoods works may help younger people to receive the greatest work
experience from building at least a sense of community
and empathy to others. Because they will have the opportunity to observe others reality from a practical and different perspective. Moreover
, as the teenagers
are doing unpaid work
, they probably will not have time to spend with the wrong crowd. For instance
, in the neighbourhood where I grew up many of my friends change their behaviour after community
work
as they could see the consequences of alcohol and drugs.
Furthermore
, not only the teenagers
would have gained from community
work
, but the community
as well. Once the adolescents
could bring ideas or create new projects with subjects that they have learned from schools, such
as ecological ideas, musical class or even finance management. It certainly would help the community
and adolescents
development. In addition
, children and adolescents
who live in the community
where the work
is carried will have an example to be inspired, a person who in the majority of time achieved success through work
and study.
To sum up, charity through unpaid work
is one of the best ways to develop the community
and adolescents
as both of them can learn from each other. Adolescents
can develop their sense of community
and empathy and the community
can be benefited from the help they received.Submitted by raquel.santosprudente on
