5- little sample of the essay :-
We learned that boys like blue color, trucks, fight, and sport when we were small. And a girl likes pink color, barbe, stuff toys, and princess movies. However, that is just how they expect us to act, not what we should become. Because building our character based on people, expectations will lead to an unhappy life.
When society’s expectations suppress a child’s true character, they lose their creative thinking, limit their life plans and potential.
When society tries to suppress a child’s true self, they also destroy their creative thinking. As make them play with a set of toys or act with a group of actions will make them lose their imagination and ability to think outside the box, a producer asked “show me how to [ran, kick, and punch] like girl” (“Like a Girl” 0.16). Which the actress starts to do, however they did it as to action that fit the image of the girl that society create. Which will make them think around this set of activities, and rare few that break from this curse but they still have some root that didn’t die, Also make the kids lose some opportunities that were going to open doors in their life.
This limits the children’s life plans. To simple choose subjects that don’t make them shine. Parents want their children to be successful in the future, so they think if their children study or act the same as the successful children, their kids will be successful, but this is not true as some have a different area that can make them shine, . While this works to some children, most will barely average in the subject they were pushed to because they think it is unfair and either rebel or put a little effort into success.
Nevertheless, by limited creative thinking and life plan, it ruins their untouched potential. Each person has talent in a specific area; most people need time to figure out which area/subject it is and forcing an individual into a field he didn’t want to go to will lessen his chances to discover his talent. as well, if children can’t think outside the box or creative thinking, they will not go out in the world to try staff to uncover their capacity.
