▶ Your Answer :
It is
evident that in our current society education has a tremendous importance in
our lives. Some people may insist that educating children is more difficult
today than it was in the past because children spend so much time on cell
phone, online games, and social networking Web site, while others disagree with
the idea. I however, think that educating children is much more difficult task
today compared to the past. There are several reasons that I could discuss to
support my argument so I will limit to the two that I feel are the most
relevant to the topic. I want to discuss are about efficiency of
education and health problems of children.
The
most important reasons for my thinking this way is that educating children is
much more difficult today compared to the past because it is inefficient to
educate children. Commonly in society, most people want to allocate and spend
their time or money wisely in order to achieve such objectives in a truly
efficient manner. However, educating children is inefficient in this day and
age because most children spend their time on cell phone, online games, and
social networking Website. This reminds me of a time when my brother was 9
years old. My mother pushed him to study English after the class at the time.
However, my brother was addicted to the online games such as Starcraft and
could not concentrate on studying English. It took 20 hours to remember 100
words for him. In contrast, my mother said she could remember the same amount
of words for 10 hours in the past. This example shows that because of the
online games it is definitely inefficient to educate children these days compared
to the past. Thus, educating children is much more difficult task today than it
was in the past.
Another
reason which supports my idea is that children are already too unhealthy due to
spending so much time on cell phone, online games, and social networking Web
site. Having not enough time on exercise or outdoor activities, no matter how
less it may be, may lead to health problems such as obesity. Therefore, it can
be said that parents or teacher should also care about children’s health when
they educate children so that it is much more difficult for them to educate
children nowadays compared to the past. Take one of my friend, Tom, for an
example. When he was young, he spent so much time on cell phone, online games,
and social networking Web site as other children did. As a result, he did not
have much time to exercise and got obesity. Therefore, he had to stay at the
hospital for a long time to lose a weight and become healthy. At the same time,
he could not attend a school and it was hard for his mother and teacher to
educate him at the hospital. This example clearly shows that it is much more
difficult to educate children today than in the past.
All
things considered, with the reasons mentioned above, I believe that I have
sufficiently and adequately explained my position on the matters regarding this
topic. |
