A Country Like Mine

The Justice League after reading 'A Country Like Mine' by Robin Robilliard evaluated an idea in the text that 'parents should choose he career path of their children'.

In Tehran, Iran children don’t have the right to choose their own career path. Children live with their parents until they are married. Their parents also choose who they marry. We are evaluating the claim that ‘children should be able to choose their own career path’

Some people argue that children should choose their own career path because children should have freedom to follow their dreams because they may end up resenting your parents. Also if children are not in a job/profession they care about they may end up performing poorly and getting fired. Further arguments are that
as a grown up you should be able to make your own choices and mistakes. Lastly that parents may choose a job that they think you are good at but you actually may not be and you should have the right to be your own person.

On the other hand some people argue that you may not make a sensible choice and your parents have more experience of what jobs are available to you. Also that your parents might make a great choice for a career path. In Tehran, Iran letting your parents choose your career path is a sign of respect. The people in Tehran also have a responsibility to listen to their parents because they raised them.

Overall we believe that Children should be able to choose their own career path and live their own lives. We are lucky in New Zealand to have the right to choose our own career path.
