In the past, young people depended too much on their parents to make decisions for them; today young people are better able to make decisions about their own lives. When it comes to In the past, young people depended too much on their parents to make decisions for them, some people believe that today young people are better able to make decisions about their own lives. In my opinion, I say that today young people are better able to make decisions about their own lives. First, today young people are better able to make decisions about their own lives, because the booming economy we have today, most parent have less time to take care of their child comparing to the past. Parents toady usually let children to make their own decision because they believe that children have their own right to choose the thing they want to do. Take the past for instance, parent work near from home so they get to take control of their child, and because of the family were less wealthier in the past, children have less decision to make. Now, the growth of economy, allow people to achieve thing that they cant in the past. For example, shopping on line, ordering take out, or going out to a amusement park, kid get to make their own decision. Additionally, the education children get to day allow them to be more knowledgeable. Parents feel safer to let children to make decision when they are well educated. Kid make wiser decision when they are educated, and told what is right thing to do. Even though some people might say that in the past, young people do not depend too much on their parent to make decisions for them. However they are not well educated, they do not know what it the right thing to do. So education took big part on weather or not people are able to make better decision. In conclusion, today young people are better able to make decisions about their own lives, because of the booming economy and how children are well educated today.
