Many countries consider eighteen-year-olds to be adults, while other countries don’t. What do you think about it? Give your opinion and some relevant examples based on your own experience.
In some countries being an adult has a limited age which is considered a minimum of eighteen and
this
will allow them to get married, drive motor vehicles, and vote in elections. In some other countries, this
age is more. I strongly believe that the right age for a person as an adult who can be involved in legal and main social activities as mentioned above would be eighteen and I can explain this
via reasons and examples below.
Firstly
, based on the physical characteristics of the normal human being, some specifications of the body such
as sexual desires and cognitive growth are at an acceptable level when the person is in the eighteenth year of their life and expected to handle their necessities. Accordingly
, society should leave them free to make the right decision either to marry someone or participate in an election that is
effective for their future. For instance
, a fellow in their eighteenth year who has just succeeded in entering a university must have the capability to drive their car to save time. Also
, they should be allowed to embrace an official relationship with a partner who can be supposedly a good choice for life.
On the other hand
, if the limit of maturity exceeds more than discussed above, the total growth of young ages would be delayed mentally which can cause some inconveniences for the social aspects, because, on the one side they are growing physically but on the other side they are limited to do some required related actions for the case. For example
, although
they are nineteen or more and they require some kind of privacies, they are still forced to stay with their parents and follow their old culture.
Following all the points mentioned above, teenagers have to be considered adults quite soon and at least when they are in their eighteenth year of life, which will help society grow faster and social inconveniences will not occur.Submitted by majid.ebadi on
