  Task 2

题目类别:社会群体类

考试题目:

In parts of world, children have more freedom than they used have. Do you think it is a positive or negative development?

Word count: 288

In a world where children’s physical and mental development is highly valued, the phenomenon that more freedom is given to them has increasingly becomes a commonplace. Objectively judged, I deem that more undesired results might arise from this trend.

One apparent drawback of this phenomenon is that children are more likely to go astray under some negative influences. Lacking basic life experience, children might feel hard to differentiate right from wrong, which means they are short of moral compass and behavior patterns which are socially acceptable. Under the circumstances, less control and guidance from parents or teachers will expose the children to a social setting where there are a host of negative and misleading information such as videos full of violence, advertisements aimed at children and media coverage beaming with disasters.

Another underlying problem this trend is children may become self-centered. Freedom sometimes means children are free to choose whatever they are passionate about and do whatever they desire to do without much supervision or control. This means there is no much necessity to take others feeling and stance into account, and this tendency, if unchecked, will jeopardize empathy and altruism, the two vital characters and asset that children are supposed to have natured before their adolescence.

Although the disadvantages of this phenomenon dominate, there are also some beneficial points worth mentioning. Certain degree of freedom can do good to children’s unique development, helping to cultivate imagination and creativity. Also, children’s autonomy is a demonstration of the advance in traditional parenting, in which children used to be quite submissive and under rigid control of their parents.

To conclude, children, who are still incapable of distinguishing good and evil, are better to be brought up with less freedom.
