TOEFL Writing Topic: The rules that societies today expect young people to follow and obey are too strict.

Sometimes, the 90’s, which means people born after 1990, may be attached to the mean words like “not obeying the rule”, “not cheer up”, “no enthusiasm”. However, from another perspective, it may because the rules set for them are too strict.

To begin with, from the aspect of dressing, girls are always pushed to the center of discussion, because sometimes they are dressing too “exposed”. In the past, there are some dressing codes for the unmarried young women in both China and other European countries. However, nowadays, there are still some people in this society want to judge other people’s clothes, for example, the length of the skirt, and the angle of the collar. In my opinion, these behaviors are a sign which indicated the society has not evolved to a higher level where all the people can express themselves with freedom. What’ more, fashion is shown by a person’s dressing style. And for young people, they have right to dress as they like and perform the fashion mode as they want. And this is a way to make fashion embodied in the public, since the fashion is an indicator of a country’s soft power.

Meanwhile, some young people may encounter the problem that their startup companies are hindered by some policies which restrict some kinds of industries cannot be expanded. Although this kind of policy can protect the public from some dangerous things like drugs and sex deals. However, some countries have also published some rules about the banning of video games, like North Korea. Some other countries may restrict the government fund to some project they think will not make big profit, even though there is no empirical evidence to prove. In this case, the motivation and creativity of a country’s young people will be largely decline and it will also cause the existing job market lack of enthusiasm, because most of the youth have to give up their ambition and find a casual job to make a living. Under this circumstance, their working efficiency will be low and it’s harmful for a country’s future development.

In a word, it’s true that the atmosphere of the whole society might be more free than before, but there are still some rules existing in this society which the young follows are too strict in the aspect of dressing and industries to make a startup companies. The sooner it will be solved, the better for the young people’s development.
