Nowadays parents put too much pressure on their children to succeed. What is the reason for doing this? Is it a negative or positive development? Give your explanation using some relevant examples from your experience.

It is perhaps human nature that
parents
always want their offspring to succeed. In contemporary society,
this
hope seems to have been magnified. In
this
essay, we will try to go through the reasons for
this
phenomenon. Predominantly,

have inevitably set high goals for their

. Globalization is taking away tons of job opportunities from developed countries to the lower-cost developing countries, at a faster and faster pace. Strong labour unions
as well as

these women are super enthusiastic about in enrolling lots of activities (or classes) for their kids, hoping to successfully raise a superman or a superwoman, to justify their sacrifice of career opportunities. The high hopes are of course perceived as pressure on the
children
.
For example
, a friend of mine, who grew up in a middle-class family, needed to learn the piano and dance at the age of six. Her mother did not go to work and had all the time to attend the lessons with her and checked all of her homework until she was 18. In conclusion, the higher pressure imposed by
parents
is partly a result of the arduous competition ahead, and partly from the full-time moms who want to prove their sacrifices worthy. Despite the discernable difficult times
children
may encounter, I think letting
children
learn that life is realistic is not wrong, they will understand and appreciate
this
once they grow up.
