Life is yours (Chung-Chih Chi)

After I read the article, it makes me associate with Asia. In ancient Asia, woman did not have right to be educated and the only thing they did before they got married was to learn how to be a housewife. Most importantly, they had no right to decide who they were going to be married, but their parents did. Things changed. In nowadays of Asia, women seem to be equal to men. They can be educated as men do, they can work as men do, and most importantly, they can decide who they are going to be married to as men do. But, for most parents, their concepts still stay behind. In their concept, they think they have much more experiences of the society and the world. They think they are the people who understand their daughter the most and they can tell who is the best for their daughter. I cannot say they are wrong, but they are not always right. In my hometown, many of my girl friends are not allow having boyfriends before they graduate from high school or college due to their parents. The reason for that is their parents want them to absorb in study. But, parents do not understand this idea brings opposite effect. Their daughter will be curious what the feel is if they get a boyfriend.
Parents are always trying to help their children, but their children have the right to decide how their life will be. Parents should discuss with their children nicely instead of forcing them not to do something. What parents say is advice, and children should be the one who make the decision.
