Topic 2: These days many families move to other countries for work. Some people believe that the children in these families benefit from this move. However, others believe that it makes life more difficult for the children. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Migration in

such

greener pastures is a common thing these days. People opine

children

of

such

parents benefit from being raised in a foreign land, whilst others think life is rather difficult for these kids.

This

essay seeks to look at both views and I will state my opinion too. On the one hand, most of these

children

grow up into great adults in varying professions.

For instance

, in the United Kingdom, most pupils in the early years of schooling have free education.

This

gives equal opportunities to foreigners whose

children

are citizens of the land by virtue of being born there to have the same exposure as actual natives of the United Kingdom.

Such

environments reward hard work so as long as a ward with a foreign background excels academically, they will acquire the jobs of their dreams once they qualify.

Also

, most Western countries reward talents unlike developing nations where people take up jobs not because they are passionate but because of the earnings from the work that will enable them to live comfortable lives. I definitely think these benefits cannot be achieved in one's native land and will say

such

folks have an upper hand.

On the other hand

, in some societies,

children

from foreign lands grow into vices.

This

is a common finding in America. To illustrate

this

, most people of African descent are aware their countries promote childhood discipline to shape one's attitude. But in countries like America, laws frown on disciplining

children

and make it difficult for parents to groom their

children

. These

children

grow up making decisions that lead them to nowhere as adults. Most school dropouts in America are foreign and they are the ones involved in much violence.

This

is because the parents are unable to straighten the lives of their

children

in ways they know best as they are bound by some restricting laws in these foreign lands.

To sum up

, raising kids in foreign lands comes with pros and cons.

However

, I am of the opinion these

children

have more gains than losses.
