Debate on the topic teenagers of today are more worldly wise than their parents
Answers
Answer:
The teenagers knowledge maybe significantly more on a particular subject, but with respect to being worldly wise, they are far behind their parents. ... The information explosion in the print and electronic media, may give more information to teenagers. This however cannot make them more worldly wise then their parents.
I would like to go for both for and against about this topic.
With the intervention of new gadgets and advanced technology, students (teenagers) of today are more likely to spend their time in devices like internet and phone, to surf and know about the various things about the world. Teenagers who feel uncomfortable to talk to their parents or anyone, mostly use internet and many other various ways to satisfy his/her needs without telling to anyone in person.
Teenagers get to know about the latest news and trends depicted on social medias and websites which help them to acknowledge much faster than their parents.
Therefore, if I tell in support of the experiencing level of students in various fields through various gadgets, teenagers are more 'wordly' wise than their parents. [In this case, this is natural for the parents to be less experienced as they did not have the provision of these devices in earlier times.]
Against:
If we focus on the societal and political aspects ( any aspects of reality) , our parents are 'wordly' wise in these aspects. We students are always busy with our studies, homework, and other commitments. But it is our parents who takes care of the current situations of our society as well as our country. They are the best guides to tell, what we should do and what we shouldn't because they are experienced with that part. They are our assets who don't want their child to spoil.
Conclusion:
As I am also a teenager, I would like to tell that we both teenagers and parents should have a mutual understanding between each other and both should look on every kinds of aspects to remain 'wordly' wise in more or less every kinds of fields.
This makes them more worldly wise then the teenagers, who are on the threshold of life.
Years of experiencing the many ups and downs of life make parents a better judge of human character and nature. They can therefore judge people more accurately and are not waved by superficial factors. On the other hand teenagers are swayed by superficial factors. On the other hand teenagers are swayed by superficial, irrelevant factors which may just be a facade and far away from reality.
The information explosion in the print and electronic media, may give more information to teenagers. This however cannot make them more worldly wise then their parents. For their knowledge obtained from such sources are primarily confined to what they have seen, heard or read. The parents on the other hand can better use this knowledge, blending it with their personal experiences in life. it is because of this we find teenagers looking up to their parents for advice, in important decisions relating to their work or career.
Moreover teenagers being young are more enthusiastic and optimistic by nature, This i for they have seen the brigliter side of life only, being protected from its harsh realities by their parents. They are therefore prone to taking decisions in a haste. Parents on the othe4r hand, being seasoned and cautious, make more rational decisions, for they take a balanced view of things they know the virtue of patience and tolerance, and are there fer in a better position to evaluate options more logically and practically, before arriving at a firm decision, There advise is thus more practically, before arriving at a firm decision. There advise is thus more practical and useful
