IELTS preparation. Essay. Attempt #2. After reading lots of advices. TASK 2: In some countries young people at 18 are allowed to drive, vote and get married while in other countries not. your opinion. ---- DEFINED TOPIC: Difference between countries in age when a person get social rights CONTROL POINT: The government decide where a young person is ready to be a national with full rights ---- There are about 200 countries in the world. Every country laws are defined by its government followed after historical development, rules and people mentality. It some countries people become nationals with full rights in younger age than in others. The age when a person is ready to take a responsibility for his decisions is very controversial. In my opinion the person is ready to take the responsibility for his life and someone's else when he has already made an important decision about his future, after graduating from school. Some countries has full program school education which lasts till 18 years. At this time person usually found out his aptitudes and fully understands his place in the society, its rules, duties and laws. In high school a person is tought with society and goverment structure, start understanding the difference between executive and legislative branches of power. This necessary social knowledge makes him ready to the responsibility in front of himself, his family and friends. This kind of person makes weighed decisions based on the situation whether it is president selection, driving a car or marriage. Other countries, especially developing ones, don't have wide educational programs which makes a person ready for the adult life and don't care about social role of each person. In such countries people give a birth to children at the age of 10, don't need a driving license and usually don't participate in elections of the government. These people are passive all their life and don't accept the rules of changing world. Government starts to attract more younger people to social decisions to show the readiness of the society to play a role in the country's and world's politics. My position in this question is that young people should get social duties such as voting or taking responsibility after other people when they get maturity in the decision making and necessary knowledge about their country and life.
