Band 5

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

. 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.
