Taiwan’s Environment Good for Children

Taiwan’s Environment Good for Children

What place has a good environment for children to grow up? The answer: Taiwan. Why? In Taiwan, the children have to accept 12 years of school education, which makes society have a higher economy because children can easily get careers after they grow up. Taiwan’s high economy can make a better chance for people to have a wealthy life. Also, Taiwan is one of the countries which has a good environment for children to grow up in. There are three reasons to prove it: first, Taiwan has a good education condition for children to add competitiveness; second, Taiwan has a wealthy condition for children to get life needs; and third, Taiwan has many democratic families to help children grow up.

First, the good education condition can provide children more competitiveness and more opportunity to get jobs in the society. For example, the good education condition can correct children’s behaviors so that they will know how to control themselves and become polite people. Also, children learn a lot of knowledge from school. It is really helpful in the developing of the economy. Therefore, companies can easily hire their employees and workers also can easily find a job.

Second, the wealthy condition that can let children get life needs and it also reduces children’s stress. Before twenty years ago, Taiwan was a developing country; most children had to do a job with their parents or make hand-made products at home. Even if they wanted to attend school, they couldn’t, because they had to make money for their family to buy life needs first. After that, Taiwan became a developed country; most children who have a wealthy condition can attend school to get knowledge and education. They don’t worry about having to make money to support their families, and they also can easily get school supplies for study.

Third, the democratic family can let children know democracy earlier and let children become more independent. For example, their parents will talk to them and listen to them, and their parents also want to know what their children really need. Children can talk to their parents about their opinions, and their parents will have a discussion with them. Before children grow up, their parents set up a limit to deal with their children’s questions. This way children can learn earlier what they can do and what they cannot do.

Some people say that the wealthy condition is harmful to children’s minds; it will make them continue dependence on their parents. However, they are wrong, because children can have a wealthy condition, and still learn independence. The U.S.A. is the best example because it is a developed and wealthy country but most teenagers are very independent. Moreover, in the American culture, most families believe the democratic family education is good for children, so their children have to accept democratic education when they are teenager. Children know how to express their opinion to their parents and have a discussion. Therefore, if children live in wealthy condition that will make children more independent, and they also do jobs after senior high school, so that they can build their own money to support their life things.

In conclusion, I disagree that children can’t have a wealthy condition in their daily life, and I also support education and democratic families for children, because both of them are good for children’s brain and mind. It makes our children stronger. If they don’t have a wealthy condition to attend school to get education, how can we have experts in our future society? The wealthy condition also can reduce children’s stress, because they don’t have to worry about financial problems and have toys to reduce their pressure. I was born in a developing country, Taiwan. I know how much they suffered. Most children didn’t get educated, and they also had to get a job and contribute to the family income. It was really bad a situation in Taiwan. Now Taiwan is a developed country; every child has the chance to attend school and get everything they need. Therefore, we can realize how important the wealthy condition is for our children.
