Hi guys, please share your thoughts about the Task 2 practise that I did today.

Task 2: Essay Writing</b>
<b>
Topic:</b>
Nowadays, young people are the common cause of crimes in the society. Who do you think is responsible for teaching them good citizenship- the parents or the teachers?
<b>Start here.</b>
“Youth is the hope of our fatherland.” This maxim reminds us that young people face a high expectation from the society to bring light to a chaotic world we live in. They are expected to make the past and present situations better in the future when they are capable of making long steps for a better world.
However, we cannot deny the present statistics that every day in daily news reports, more and more young people are involved in societal crimes and sensitive issues like riots, gang rapes which has been so frequent in India, robbery, different forms of addiction and many other unimaginable crimes that we never thought young people would commit at a very young age. I believe our government has been exhausting all what they could do to divert the attention of young people into something healthy and productive that would create a better welfare for them. Just like in the Philippines, young people from the age of 15 until 18 are given the opportunity to be involved in Sangguniang Kabataan or Youth Council in which youth officers are elected in each locality to lead the rest of the youth for sports and other recreational activities. In this way, their minds would be preoccupied with healthy thoughts. On the other hand, have our parents and teachers also exhausted their means to help them keep safe from the corruptive influences of the world? Or should it be the teachers who are responsible to teach our youth how to be a good citizen of our country?
Exploring all the perspectives both from parents and from teachers and the efforts they do every day, both parties have done their best up to the optimum level. From a teacher’s point of view, speaking of teaching the young people about citizenship is only a fraction of what teachers educate in the classroom as a whole. There is no doubt that teachers are fulfilling their duties in teaching citizenship because in the first place they are called “teachers”. They teach what is supposed to be taught. Of course, all these teachings are only for their best totality as a person and as a thinker.
Similarly, parents never run out a chain of reminders and rebukes on what is standard from non-standard according to social ethics and religious beliefs in which regardless of religions, doing good to others and doing what is right are just the basics of life. No good parents would teach their children with anything crooked, wrong, non-standard, unethical and unlawful acts that would make themselves found in a pit of misery, suffering and death. When children are hurt, parents are hurt too even doubled. I say these things because I have been there.
So, the issue whether the parents or the teachers are responsible to educate young people with good citizenship is never a doubt or an issue. Both parties have gone extra miles in their journey to be a great help and a torch blazing brightly to be able to guide and radiate radiance of counsels and words of wisdom about life, much more being a good law abiding citizen in which every act we violate corresponds a penalty. <i><b>(529 words)</b></i>
