Other people believe that it is important for children to make decisions about matters that affect them. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Some people believe that it would create selfish individuals in our society if the
parents
 allow
children
 to do whatever they want.
In contrast
, others think that
children
 can only decide the matters that affect them. In
this
 essay, I will discuss both views. On the one hand, permitting
children
 to do whatever they want and letting them choose everything they like would convince youngsters that they can do whatever they like.
This
 is harmful to
children
's mental growth, and those
children
 would likely become selfish when they grow up. Scientific research showed that someone’s childhood experience affects his personality and way of thinking.
That is
 why
parents
 should make critical
decisions
 for their offspring and prevent them from doing harmful things to them and others.
On the other hand
, it has been argued that teenagers must be involved in important decision-making.
This
 will make them confident and help them make the best decision for themselves. From childhood to adulthood, everyone is required to make various
decisions
 about different things.
Otherwise
, he needs to depend on his
parents
 for support,
although
 he is old enough to be independent.
Therefore
,
children
 should be encouraged to make their own choices in daily life. In conclusion, many people believe that the balance of the society will be disturbed and
self-centered

show examples
 will be produced if
parents
 allow their
children
 to do whatever they want, while many people believe that it is essential for
children
 to have the right to make
decisions
 about the problems that affect them. I firmly believe it is necessary for
children
 to make
decisions
 about their issues.

    ln many parts of the world, children are given more freedom than in the post. ls this a posifive or a negative development?

    Children now-a-days can enjoy a lots of flexibility and independence in many certain aspects of their life in many countries and cultures. This is almost a new trend as previously they were not able to enjoy such leniency. In my opinion, this new trend of providing children their freedom of thinking and doing things at their own is a positive development. Although there might be some negative aspects of being derailed from their track due to lack of proper guidelines, these can be resolved by endowing freedom at a certain stage when they will be able to distinguish between what is good and harmful.

    Crime appears to be rising in most countries in the world, especially among young people. What are the possible causes of this trend, and what solutions would be effective reducing crime.

    In many societies around the globe, the offense rate appears to be increased, specifically by youngsters. In this essay, we will discuss the core causes of this trend and possible solutions. Nowadays, the gravest reason for this situation seems that the relation between entertainment media which shows violence, and crime scenes, and young people who are watching and hearing those contents most of the time. These violent imaginaries affect the children’s behavior and characters negatively. At a young age, most kids are not capable of clarifying the distinction between right and wrong actions by themselves. It might lead them to commit a crime or to have a temptation of offense. So, to prevent this situation, authorities need to concern more seriously about the creator of those contents, and if it is needed, they should tighten the restrictions for the upcoming media content. Similarly, families need to pay more attention to what their kids are watching and hearing. If it se...
