Some people think parents do not have to take care of their children more than the past. However in my opinion, children should be looked after by their parents. This is because these days there are increasing crime rate and children tend to be affected by mass media. To begin with, today we are live in a dangerous world and cannot escape the dangers of crime. Since the world we live in is completely different from the past, people nowadays should try to be careful wherever they are. For example there was a study conducted by the Gallup organization to determine how many crime increased from the past. The researchers compared the amount of crime of the past and nowadays and the result was very intriguing. The rate of crime increased by 50% from 1950s and especially there were much increased crime about child. The reason is that today people are so busy that they cannot afford to care for other people. This study proves that parents should be very careful for their children. On top of that, nowadays there are a lot of influence produced by diverse media source such as internet, television and music. Many people like these medias and are easy to be affected by those. For example, I will talk about my experience to elucidate my point. I have a younger brother. When he was in elementary school, suddenly he started to speak bad words and do violent acts. My parents asked my brother how to learn such words and acts and then he told that he got know them by watching movies on television. My brother could easily watch a lot of movies and dramas on television, so my parents started to restrict his time to watch the television. Through experience I think young children have to be cared for by their parents. In a nutshell, taking the dangers of today's world and the influence of mass media into consideration, there are much higher importance of looking after children than the past. In this regard, I firmly believe that parents should be more concerned about their children. |
