specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
My answer:
Because of the large numbers of people, my homeland government, limit people born children with a hard policy. So all of parents could only have one baby. At the same time, the competitions between students at school are getting harder and harder. As a member of them, sometimes we don’t need any help from anybody else, in the contrary, we always work on our own. So I don’t think it is a good idea that we should let anybody else makes decisions for ourselves.
Most of children are the only one in their own family, they should make decisions by themselves. So there is no one can know him/her better than himself/herself. For example, when a student wants to go college, he/she should choose which subject he/she wants in. This cannot be settled by anybody else, due to nobody else can know he/she better than himself/herself on what kind of knowledge he/she likes.
Most of children are becoming more and more self-concerned or selfish. As the only child in their families, parents need to grow them without any reservation. And usually we will lose a kind of characteristics called sympathy. They wouldn’t help anybody else especially on what they are competing. For instance, in my country, this kind of things is common, if one students cannot solve a problem about math, and when he/she go to ask someone else, usually he/she could not get the answer not for the one he/she ask cannot solve, only as that student would not tell him. That’s a weird idea, the “answer” student thinks if I tell him/her, he/she would pass on me surpass me on math. As a exaggeration, that’s “To see someone in mortal danger without lifting a finger to save him.”(见死不救)
Most of children realized that himself/herself is the only person he/she could rely on, parents could not help in some cases. So they are becoming more and more self-relied. I think that’s different from self-concerned, and better than former. Because this idea can develop children’s abilities so they can settle problems on their own fast and efficient. In a home-stay problem, children can wash clothes by themselves instead of bothering their parents. There’s a Chinese old said that can express this:”Everything you can do, I can do better.”
We can decide by ourselves because we can do whatever we want, we should decide by ourselves because we should do whatever we want, we must decide by ourselves because we must do whatever we want. |
