On Oct. 29th, we talked about if the government should give cell phones to elementary school children to save them. The moderator was Hiroya. He introduced other members. Ms. Sakamoto (Misaki) has a daughter. She wants to give her daughter for safety, but she can't afford it because it it too expensive to pay the cost. So, she wants the government to support. Ms. Sato (Airi), who is a government officer says that they can't support all the cost, so they will pay some money. Ms. Miyagawa (Fumika), who works at a mobile phone company introduce some plan. Ms. Sato (Chika), who is 30 years old and working at a trading company, is single. So, she says that it is not fair for her that the government meets the cost for the cost of children's cell phone. Also, there are some problems to give cell phones to children.
First, we need to give cell phones which restrict to see dangerous sights such as dating sight and shopping sight. So, the cell phones for children will have minimum tools; telephone and e-mail service with parents, police and emergency services, and they can't use the Internet. However, as some students said, will children be satisfied with such cell phones?
Second, I think the number of students who die will increase. According to one survey, 30 children were killed in a year because they did not have cellphones. However, I think more students will be die by traffic accidents while they are using cell phones. Some university students are also killed even though they had cell phones. So, I don't think it will really safe to have cell phones.
Third, as I said in the class, I think that some students will use their cell phones in the class. So, teachers need to take some actions to stop this.
I don't think it is good for children to have cell phones.
If the parents want their children to have cell phones, they should give and pay the cost. It is not the role of the government.
