Every organism has evolved according to the environmental conditions that it was subjected to. This process of evolution took thousands of years, in which animals lost those features that were redundant for them and developed new ones that would help them adapt to the existing environmental conditions. Subsequently, wild animals developed the instincts and physical features that are suited for the tough and aggressive life in the wild.
Keeping wild animals might sound appealing to many. However, we must not forget the fact that handling one requires a good understanding of the animal's nature and habitat. Many people who own wild animals as pets are trained in handling them. Even they would agree about the unpredictable nature of wild animals. There have been incidents of mahouts being trampled by their elephants or trained zoo keepers being attacked by the animals in zoos. Hence, keeping wild animals as pets has always been a controversial issue. Listed below are the pros and cons.

Generation conflict is one of the most important problems nowadays. Kids and teenagers don`t want to act their ages and want to look and act like adults. They smoke, drink alcohol, and enter drug sub-cultures. They surf the internet and play computer games all day and night long. Many teenagers enter sub-cultures like goths and graffitimakers, wear defiant clothes and haircuts, and come home late.
Their parents don`t like these things and have arguments with their children. Sometimes teens leave their homes or commit suicide because they think that nobody understands them.
In my family, we haven`t got a problem with generation conflict, but I know families which do have. I think to have arguments with parents is only a hobby of silly children.
