Question

Debate for the motion on topic experience is imperative for mental maturity

Answer 1

Undoubtedly, experience is a prerequisite for mental maturity. Often in our routine living, we see the grown ups behaving more maturely as compared to the young ones. Their handling of a situation is far more efficient than that of the younger ones. The only difference between the more mature and less mature is the difference of experience. Well, experience is nothing but the collection of the consequences of mistakes done in one's life. Man learns the most by trial and error. What we call experience is the act of having committed more number of mistakes by virtue of being more aged. The more number of mistakes committed equips you with more data concerning as to what is wrong and right. That data comes to rescue while handling further situations. For example a boy who has already burnt his hand with the candle, will handle it more carefully than the baby who has never touched it. So with other situations. So I whole heartedly support the motion.   

Answer 2

You could start off by saying that while we go to school and learn. However, that learning is only theoretical in nature. More so, the learning in school is not dynamic but only static. It does not expose to an ever changing situation. For dealing with a fast changing dynamic world, the best teacher is experience.  Of course, there is a saying, “Those who learn from their own experiences are fools, those who learn from their experiences are the wise ones”. However, I do not agree with that for I believe that one cannot learn from another person’s experiences since the 2 people are 2 different beings.
