The youth is already academically advanced compared to the past. I believe children should pursue happiness. They should still learn and pursue academic excellence. However I don’t think it is a bad thing to encourage children to find happiness.

I will speak in support of the motion that "The youths of today are more interested in the pursuit of pleasure than in academic work".

  • To properly defend this motion I ought to provide evidence to support my claim.

To begin with, it is important to note that pleasure is the feeling of happiness and satisfaction.

While this feeling is not bad on its own, excessive devotion to it could be harmful especially to youths who should be invested in their academic activities.

Youths crave pleasure through food, entertainment, drugs, and other fun activities. Too much investment in social media contributes to poor performance in homework and academic confidence.

This is corroborated by research performed by researchers at "The Miriam Hospital’s Centers for Behavioral and Preventive Medicine". They discovered that students who spent up to 12 hours on social media performed poorly in school.

Another study published by NCBI shows that overindulgence in television limits the time that should be devoted to playing, studying, exercise, and other important activities.

This imbalance affects the social, mental, and physical health of students. The resultant effect is reflected in their academics.

These few points strengthen the argument that  "The youths of today are more interested in the pursuit of pleasure than in academic work".
