Write an essay stating your opinion on whether maturity is dependent on a person's age

Most people believe that as one grows older, his/her maturity increases. Although this occurs to most people, maturity truly depend on a person's moral belief and experiences rather than age. Maturity is not dependent on a person's age. Some children exhibit more maturity than adults in grave situations as a result of their experiences. Take for example in the book, To Kill A Mockingbird, Scout and Jem, who are children, recognize the wrongful conviction of a man by a jury as an act of racism. Because of their experiences of acts of discrimination, they have matured at a young age.

pls include the text ur reading

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
