Some believe that children nowadays have too much freedom .To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#believe #children #freedom
In recent decades,
children
's
freedom
 has become an area of focus and has grabbed psychologists' attention as an interesting topic to research.Many assert that
kids
'
freedom
 has increased drastically compared to the past.I partially agree with
this
 idea for many reasons. Nowadays,thanks to technology,high-speed internet is accessible to the public even
kids
.They spend countless hours on their screens, playing games or watching films or shows freely, which may be banned for them in the real world.
Moreover
, bullying can be seen more than ever before in schools .It is cruel behaviour that leads to trauma for many students and it means that
children
 are freer to treat
however
 they want.,
Also
parents
 and teachers try to provide some opportunities for
children
 to speak their minds, they even are consulted and asked to give their opinions in different areas which is a sign of more
freedom
.
Instead
, in modern education systems,
kids
 are heavily loaded by their school assignments and unfortunately, they are pushed by their
parents
 to take part in multiple after-school activities which impose a high level of stress on them.It causes
children
 usually feel overburdened and they do not know how to manage their hectic life.Extra programs deprive
children
 of their
freedom
 since keep them away from their interests.
In addition
,
children
 are more supervised by their
parents
 in comparison to the
last
 three generations.There is a new expression
that is
 called Helicopter
parents
.It means
parents
 control their
children
 to realize where they are exactly and even some of them have tracking settings on their
kids
' cellphones to keep track of them at every given moment. To sum up,it seems that
children
 are freer these days,but I think it is true in the virtual world.In fact,
kids
 have become more limited as they have been kept away from their interests and they are burdened to do unwilling activities which are mandatory.On top of that, being under observation by their
parents
 is something that reduces their sense of
freedom
 and would be bothering for them.

Support ideas with relevant, specific examples

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

Examples, if used properly, not only help you get higher marks for ‘Task Response’ but also for ‘Coherence’.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.

Linking words for giving examples:

  • for example
  • for instance
  • to illustrate this
  • to give a clear example
  • such as
  • namely
  • to illustrate
  • take, for example
