With this their parents having the ability to retain an executive veto on certain major long term actions(like making contracts) in that regard until they reach full adulthood at which point they are fully responsible for their own behavior and in turn should enjoy the full freedoms and privledges that come with that.
"With rights comes responsibilities, with responsibilities comes rights."
Such is apart of the model of how I personally view society should be organized along. Children due to lacking any true responsibility on their own part lack true rights, at best along with non-citizens they have only privileges and expectations. Ive already basically laid this out in a previous thread hence I'll just repost that here:Kazarogkai wrote:With rights comes responsibilities, with responsibilities comes rights; One is not deserving of anything for the fact that you are born and breathing. You are not special and you are not ultimately important or matter in the greater scheme of things within a proper society until you have given and put forth. "Ask not what your nation can do for you but what you can do for your nation" so say another wise man. These are essential principles from which a strong nation must build it's foundation from lest it fall into decadence and ultimately collapses like so many others. The Nation is like a body, one must nourish it like any other but for it that nourishment comes from duty and fulfillment of responsibility. Being a human is as meaningless and as unimportant and as valueless as being a dog or an ox or a crocodile, one gains meaning and importance and value only from being a good citizen and that in itself requires contribution. To not engage in as such necessarily earns the label parasite and since society is a like a body such things should be treated like any other malady of a body and eliminated or if must contained so that the body may prosper.
To put an example let us say there is a dog and a loafer before me and I only have food for on, who do I feed? Obviously I would feed the dog. The dog has provided service unto me, remained loyal unto me and as such he has gained meaning and importance and value in my eyes while the loafer obviously has not and as such is deserving of nothing. Such is the way a man should operate such is the way society should too.
So to summarize, Children from the age of 13 up to at best 15 lacking in rights lack responsibility for their actions whether positive or negative with said actions being regarded as the responsibility of their guardians. Young adults starting from the age of 14-16 up till they turn about 20-24 are young adults having half rights but also half responsibilities being able to face many of the consequences of their actions but given some cushioning and leeway to help them along the way along with their parents having certain veto powers over certain actions. In contrast full adults from about 20-24 are wholly responsible for their own actions but in turn gain full rights within general society and may enjoy all that entails.
Nope.
