Some people argue that the business of running a nation needs to be in the hands of emerging young leaders, while others are of opinion that it should be done by senior leaders.

· Which argument do you endorse, and state why?

It is generally accepted that running a nation is a serious business, and there is controversy on whether it should be done by young leaders or it is the job of senior leaders. I for one am of opinion that it should be done by the young. 45 words

There are points to establish the fact that it is a good idea to give the reins of the nation to the hands of young leaders. The primary argument is that young leaders have great vision and spirit to take the nation forward. Secondly, these leaders will take great pride in their being what they are, and they would do their best to the welfare of the nation. Thirdly, younger leaders are less prone to corruption and similar asocial activities than the old ones whose aim is to be in the seats of power somehow. 95 words

On the other hand, if a nation continues to be run by sexagenarian and octogenarian, there is going to be slow and passive functioning and poor participation. As they are too old, an emerging nation may not be able to cope with their conventional style of functioning. Besides these, a good number of old leaders are reported to be corrupt and they hardly understand the need for change. They want to be power dealers, not leaders. This situation can easily be averted if youngsters take up the reins of power. 95 words.

The above arguments make it clear that, in the present scenario, it is wise idea to let the emerging young leaders take the nation forward, and of course we can make use of the elder leaders’ expertise for many other nation building exercises. 40 words
