Some people think young people are not suitable for important positions in the government, while other people think that it is a good idea for young people to take on these positions. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
There is a debate over the adequacy of hiring young people to the core positions in the government. There are clear pros and cons of this idea. However, I have different idea on this adequacy issue beyond two-sided points of view.
First of all, placing young people in important positions like director or manager role has some positive impacts. Young people’s young thinking can revitalize the government in a good way. For example, their innovative minds can be suitable for the government to keep up with civil society that changes fast. Adding to that, young leaders can make the best policy for young people for the reason that they young ones can know young people’s needs.
However, beyond these strong points, side effects are not small. To begin with, important positions in the government must be coupled with big responsibility that requires experience than experiment. For instance, re-designing main roads in the big city requires years of experiences in the field. If young and vigorous but careless directors are boldly implementing wrong design, millions of people will suffer from traffic jams and accidents. Thus, skilled and experienced middle aged directors are need in important positions.
As noted above, young people are suitable for some positions while other roles are not. Thus, we can draw the conclusion that the best quality for important positions in the government is the not the age but the suitability of person for the required job. In this regard, for the government screening young people in all positions for their age must change their policy by recruiting innovative young candidate for the better civil service. Likewise, for the government hiring young people for their youth should be matured on their administration.
