▶ Your Answer :
It is
evident that in our society, education has a tremendous importance in our
lives. Some people think that parents should set strict rules for their
children if they want them to succeed in life, while others do not. I however,
believe that strict rules are not necessary for children to obtain success.
There are several reasons to support my argument. So, I will limit to the two
the most relevant to the topic: the concept of responsibility and creativity.
The most
important reason for my thinking this way is that children who have strict
rules set by their parents cannot improve their own responsibility. Commonly in
society, responsibility is considered an essential quality for people who want
to lead their success. Therefore, having responsibility is very important.
However, strict rules cannot motivate children to improve their responsibility.
This reminds me of a time when I was a middle-school student. My teacher was
quite strict and he forced the students to abide by his own rules such as
prohibiting talking inside the classroom at any time. Since the students were
afraid of him, they just obeyed the rules. However, if there were no teacher,
the student were yelling and chatting loudly inside the classroom. I think that
since the students were so suppressed, they lost their chances to improve their
own responsibility. If they had had a generous and wise teacher, they would
have been able to establish their own rules and follow the rule based on their
own responsibility. Then, they wouldn't yell inside the classroom regardless of
the existence of the teacher.
Another
reason why I think this way is that creativity is more important value for
children to succeed in their lives, rather than the strict rules set by their
parents. In particular, many universities and companies put their emphasis on
the student's creativity when they choose their candidates. So, I believe that
parents do their best to improve their children to have an ability to create
something. Take Steve Jobs, for example. Even though he was adopted by their
step-parents, they encourage Jobs to obtain his own opinion toward the world. I
believe that there are many reasons why Steve Jobs obtain success. However, I
think his genius creativity help him to make Apple iPhone and iPad series. If
he had obeyed only the rules set by someone, he wouldn't have been able to
invent such wonderful gadgets.
In
conclusion, I believe that strict rules set by their parents cannot give their
children to obtain success in life for the reasons such as responsibility and
creativity. All things considered, with the reasons mentioned above, I believe
that I have sufficiently and adequately explained on the matters regarding the
topic.
