▶ Your Answer :
In the process of raising children, parents try many ways to improve their child’s responsibility. Some people think that the best way for parents to improve their child’s responsibility is having them care for their pet. However, I believe that isn’t the best way for several reasons. I will limit my discussion to two that I feel are the most relevant to the topic: exceptions and issues. First of all, the most important reason for my feeling this way is that having children care for an animal is not always the best way to improve their responsibility. There are certain cases where children can learn responsibility while playing sports. Thus, it can be said that caring an animal is not the best way to learn because there are exceptions. This reminds me of an episode when I was a kid. I was in a soccer team, and here I could learn about teamwork and responsibility. The teacher taught me that I should do my best in my position so that our team could get a nice score. I clearly learned responsibility from playing sports not by pet. This example shows that the best way for parents to improve their child’s responsibility is not necessarily by having them care pets because of exceptions. Second, another reason which proves my point is because having children care for their pet is simply not possible sometimes. If having children care for their pet were the best way to learn responsibility, this would always have to be possible. However, this is not always the case in many circumstances. For example, I lived in a small apartment since I was born. Since it was really small, it was nearly impossible to raise pet at home. This example is a clear indicator that taking care of an animal is not the best way because of such issues. All things considered, with the reasons mentioned above, I believe that I have sufficiently and adequately explained my position on the matters regarding this topic. |
