In many countries children are engaged in some kind of paid work. Some people regard this as completely wrong, while others consider it as valuable work experience, important for learning and taking responsibility. What are your opinions on this?

are lured into doing a certain activity; right from finishing their meals to completing their assignments, by giving a prize in the end.

Moreover
