Aussie News: Harsh words led to machete attack

Comment:
This social incident reflects how bad the moral and behavior of teenagers is nowadays. A fight can be stir up by only a few harsh words which end up with a grievous injury. For me, the culprit in this mayhem should be sentenced to act as a deterrent for others. This issue need to be tackled carefully but not held in abeyance without any action as teenagers are the vital component of a society that cement a country in the future. Ergo society support the court’s decision as I believe that the decision adopted is for the sake of the teenager and the society.

Comment:

This is an interesting for me because it is about the perceptive of a man towards the issue of parenthood. Honestly, the results are quite impressive because it vividly indicated that the father nowadays concern about the children as much as a mother. The fathers nowadays seem to be engrossing their attention on the children more than what I have in my mind. Albeit, it is a good sign and should be maintained because the role of a father or a husband in the process of development of the children is as important as the role played by a mother or wife. To all the men, love your children and for sure you will enjoy the fruit of happiness in your lives!
