38. Society should identify those children who have special talents and provide training for them at an early age to develop their talents.

38. Society should identify those children who have special talents and provide training for them at an early age to develop their talents.

Define: special talents- higher intellectual awareness for certain subjects (ie, early interest in puzzles, higher level of reading, etc.)

Agree:
- Advantageous to develop these talents early on by allowing the child to focus and understand the use of their talents.

Disagree:
- How can you objectively identify special talents?
- Talent is not always innate but can also be cultivated.
- Geniuses can arise without early cultivation.
Ex: Albert Einstein was teased for his speech impediment and slow manners as a child and only finished a semester of school but he is now considered a genius.
