Children in some parts of the world have less responsibility compared to children in the past. Some people think it is a positive change, however others think of it as a negative change. What do you think?

The economic and political advancements in certain regions of the world grant

children

a

life

with fewer worries as they don’t have to shoulder the burdens that fiscal disadvantage once inflicted upon their previous generations. The reduced

responsibilities

is a not linear calculation. The extremely reductionistic

would be more of a bane than a boon. No single child would work hard if s/he is brought up to know that s/he could have everything with a simple

. Being truly accomplished in

life

requires a robust problem-solving skill that those parents unintentionally deprive their

children

of. In the past, youngsters not only have academic grades on their plates. They have to trial and error in social relationships, sports, food, and even worry about tuition. The obstacles and

responsibilities

are what make humans complete as lives are complex, and it is only through combating those thorny problems that

children

sharpen their

life

skills, fortifying their will. It is no coincidence that Nelson Mandela was a homeless child before he became the President of South Africa; it is no surprise that Barack Obama was an abandoned kid before he was the President of the United States of America; it is preciously the thousands of days and nights Elon Musk spent in his room to study coding and constructing principles that make him the richest person in the world. And I doubt those would become who they are if their childhood accountabilities are lessened. In a nutshell,

responsibilities

in

life

do not diminish us, they empower us. Striping away obstacles

children

should be facing does them more of a disservice than a blessing.
