Genetic engineering is an important issue in society today. Some people think that it will improve people’s lives in many ways. Others feel that it may be a threat to life on earth. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

People have different views about whether the youth should be allowed to decide the matters of their daily lives. While I accepted that there is a potential risk of developing self-centred behaviours, I personally believe that there are more benefits for

children

to learn to make their own choices. On the one hand, many

parents

point to the argument that free choice can easily foster a self-centred mindset in young people. They stress that temptation is ubiquitous everywhere in advertising and social media

and that

children

might not be mature to resist the temptation to buy fancy gadgets and unhealthy foods.

For example

, without guidance, they may develop a habit of rushing to update cutting-edge gadgets without considering the damage to the environment.

Therefore

, it is said that the daily affairs of teenagers should be decided by their

parents

to prevent selfish behaviour from becoming a habit.

On the other hand

, some educators believe that there are several benefits to

children

making their own choices, and I agree.

First

, childhood is a critical stage in the development of rational choice.

This

is a critical time for

children

to learn to think with a broader perspective and to consider others in their daily affairs. The

second

benefit is that a relationship of trust can be built between

parents

and

children

, as a child will feel supported by the parent

. In conclusion, I am convinced that

children

should be encouraged to learn

and teachers, I believe it is more likely to lead a society of individuals with critical thinking.
