▶ Your Answer :
There might be some people who believe that
young people nowadays make significant effects on the important decisions that
determine the future of society as a whole. However, I personally disagree with
the subsequent reasons. First, young people have lack of experiences about
social life. Second, young people often have narrow perspectives about the
society as a whole.
Firstly,
young people need to broaden experience about real society. Comparing to the
old people, young people still need to experience of trial and error on social
life. To be specific, accepting concept of textbooks may not be case in real experience
of having trial and error on the society. For instance, When I was in college,
I thought that the regulations about minimum wage was unfair. In these
situations, I had work together my class mates in order to argue that there
need to increase the minimum wage. However, I realized that just beyond maintaining
about my opinions to government, there are need to process to pass on my claims
such as persuading officials, forming detail documents and so on. I had too
lack of experience to handle these problems, I learned that I have to
strengthen my experience about social life.
Secondly,
young people often have narrow perspectives in terms of the society. Generally,
young people can be easily influenced by their peers, which result in that
young people did not have well-balanced perspectives. Interestingly, a renowned
social scientist in South Korea published an article in “The Korean Herald”
last Tuesday which claims that young people should not participate in social
movement since they did not establish well-balanced perspectives. The article
argues that young people mainly spend time with their friends and are protected
by their parents. In these situations, young people can be easily affected by
their surrounding people, which result in making partial opinions. I thought of
this report because the results of the survey resonated with my thoughts.
To
sum up, I believe that the important decisions that determine the future of
society have no influenced by young people nowadays for the following reasons. Young
people not only have lack of experience about society but also have narrow
perspectives about society. Consequently, the importance of my view cannot be
underestimated for the reasons I have mentioned above.
