▶ Your Answer :In the current society, to be a financially responsible adult is important issue. Some people says that children should manage their own money at a young age, but others don't think it's a good idea. I think the proposal is a good idea because of two reasons. First, young Korean adults tend to spend their money excessively . Since the society is highly competitive with thousands of prominent figures that an individual must prevail over, people in the present days make tremendous efforts to be superior to others. Many Koreans think buying expensive and high quality electric devices as showing their abilities. It is mainly because of lack of education in school that teaches students about how they manage their money. A recent survey conducted by the national government showed that over 70 percents of young Korean adults change their cell phones or laptops once a month although they barely use a previous cell phone or a laptop, and they doesn't think it's problematic. Second, young Korean adults easily go intogambling. Today, Korean students tend to spend most of their time studying to enter a prestigious university, and many students get stressed out. Some of them go into gambling, because it can help them forget their harsh schedule. Furthermore, they grow upand still remain addicted gambling because they don't think losing money is not serious problem. To prevent this situation, it is essential to teach children how to manage their money and the importance of saving money. A recent survey conducted by the national government showed that over 60 percents of young Korean adults enjoy gambling either slightly or seriously, and also say that gambling is not problem. In sum, I think children should manage their money, because of the two problems of current young Korean adults. One is their wast money habit, and the other is high addiction rate of gambling. |
