3. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? In the past young people depended on their parents for making decisions. Today, young people are better able to make decisions on their own.
1.独生子女
2.社会压力
3.less important

Are young people growing more independent in decision making those days than before? I would say no. To render a grounded answer, it’s necessary to look further into the role that society, family and youth themselves are playing in it.

First of all, recent years witnessed the increasingly fierce competition spreading widely our society. The new generation born with such mounting pressure coupled with the high expectation from their parents are so busy preparing themselves for future races that there remains little opportunity for choice-making. My younger cousin, for instance, lives strictly to the schedule her mom made for her which almost specify to every hour. Despite attending the primary school, the rest time is crowded with sketching classes, cello practicing and tennis training. Obviously that was not her choice to learn so much and as a consequence, in the next several years, sticked to such busy schedule,  she won’t have the chance to decide what to play in the spare time, which club to join as her interest and even what kind of friends she’d like to hang out with either. Over time, I am worried that this would cause a significant disability for her to make decision on her own. And what’s even worse is that such cases are far from rare among her peers.

The second perspective I would like to discuss is the far-reaching policy of Chinese birth planning. One result brought is that families of only-child is prevailed. It’s not hard to imagine those parents would devote extremely much on their very child thus plan his or her life so thoroughly and leave few decision for the child to make independently. For example, some parents who have some regrets on their own life would keep an close eyes on their kids and lay the expectation even it may against children’s wish. A men who dreamed of being an artist but end up as a draftsman would hope his only child to carry on his goal. A successful businessman may train his child from early age to become his heres. However, children’s own interests, dreams and devotion, seem to be less significant and hence they could lose the chance for decide their own life from very young.

Last but no least, I would suggest that even the young generation themselves, attach inadequate significance to decision-making. With the improvement of the average living condition and social welfare, young generation no longer have to face the kind decision that relates to their survival. For example, without the pressure to support their family, students after graduation are more free in selecting a job since most of them can afford a job-hopping. Comparatively, in the past, students should take much more serious consideration in job choosing since it was more likely to determine their career for the rest of life. Such cases are tremendous and consequently, the present day young generation are less serious in decision making and correspondingly more poorly performed.

To sum up, from the perspective of social environment, parents and children themselves, there is an undeniable trend that the young are worse performed in making a decision on their own.
