At one time or another, everyone has frowned at children for making too much noise when they go to a restaurant or cafe. People suffering from that are increasing and this may cause restaurants or cafes to ban the entrance of all kids. That is a controversial issue known as, "No Kids Zone".

Recently, the demand for 'No Kids Zones' has increased. Children sometimes can be very noisy and play loudly to some extent. However, irresponsible attitudes of some parents toward their children are the starting point of the spread of 'No Kids Zone'. Now the spread of 'No Kids Zones' is raising the controversial issue. How can we look at a 'No Kids Zone'?

* pros of 'No Kids Zone'

As the results of s recent survey of adults over 19 show, there are many pros of 'No Kids Zones'. Likewise, many adults want to spend time in a quiet environment and voices insisting on their rights are growing.

Furthermore, in the case of restaurants and cafes, there are many hot dishes and glasses. These can cause dangerous accidents when children play around. All responsibilities for safety accidents in stores rest on the owner. 'No Kids Zones' can prevent accidents and it is the owner's divine right.

* Cons of 'NO Kids Zone'

A key point of this opinion is discrimination. Treating children as potential dangers and prohibiting them from entrance violates the basic rights of children. Also, that rule is considered a deprivation of parents' rights. Even though there are some problems caused by children, it is wrong to refuse them access just because they are children. That is a mistake of generalization.

Not only for ourselves, but also for the development our society, we should think again about 'No Kids Zones'. What is your view of 'No Kids Zones'?
