In the past, young people depended too much on their parents to make decisions for them; today young people are better able to make decisions about their own lives.

young.
However
, I think that
this
level of influence has decreased over the years and now young
people
are more independent when making decisions. I will explain why I feel
this
way in the

paragraphs. The
first
point I would like to make is that now young
people
are exposed to worldwide
information
on the Internet. Because of
this
increased access to

parents
are no longer the only

resource that youth have.
For example
, in the past without

used to be the main influence on their children’s decisions. Now, when young
people
have a doubt, they could just search on the Internet about the topic to learn about and see

thought I would like to point out is that globalization and easy ways of transportation

this
with an example, when my

were young it was not easy to travel to different countries because ways of transport were not as

On the other hand

. To summarize, I agree that nowadays young
people
are better able to make decisions about their own lives than in the past. As I mentioned before
