As modern society getting developed, there are a lot of information to access by using the internet or books. Thus, some people may think that children have an ability to make important decison alone by utlilizing various data. However, I do not agree the statement that children should be allowed to make important decison by themselves. This is because, they are short of indipendant thinking or experiences. Also they could not have responsibility of events which caused by conseqiences of their acts.
First of all, they do not have enough to experiences and ciritical thinking. At first, most children should learn about how to manage the world or social norms before they make important decisons. To reduce mistakes of important decisons, they have to learn about what is necessary factors to achive their goals or how to act in the complex circumstances. If they could not learn these things, their important decison must be failed. For instacne, when I was in high school, I made decison about college adimission by myself. After the decison was completed, I could realize my mistakes related to high expensive tuition fees of college admission even though I had think carefully. After the event occured, I should communicate with other people such as parents or friends and received advices before make important decisons.
On top of that, they could not have responsibility of events which caused by consequences of their acts. In fact, many children do not know on some decisons are how much important these are. Thus, if they make decision by themselves, they often have mistakes what they could not have responsibility. For example, one of my friends stole teacher`s books when he was in the middle school. He did not know on the event is how much affecting negatively. When the teacher find a suspect, he could not have responsibility and eventually he should transfer another school.
In conclusion, I think that children could not make important decisons This is becasue, they are short of indipendant thinking or experiences. Also they could not have responsibility of events which caused by conseqiences of their acts. |
