I disagree with the statement that parents should be involved in their children's decision-making process. Some people may not agree with me because they might think that it is very helpful for children to make a decision. However, I believe that of course it can be helpful but it makes children dependent on their parents and that is, it makes their children vulnerable to unexpected happening in their social life. Also, they have to think independently to grow by themselves. So I disagree with the statement.

Modified Response:
I disagree with the notion that parents should always be involved in their children's decision-making process. While some argue that parental guidance is beneficial in decision-making, I believe that, although it can have its advantages, it may also lead to children becoming overly reliant on their parents. This can leave them ill (일)-equipped to handle unforeseen challenges in their social lives. Furthermore, children need to think independently to truly grow and mature (매쳘). Hence, I stand by my disagreement with the statement.

Therefore, he wholeheartedly (훌할틀리) agrees with this proposal.

According to the reading, cheating in a mutualistic relationship occurs when one party doesn't contribute adequately to the partnership. The professor elucidates this with an example involving the yucca flower and the yucca moth. The yucca moth deposits its eggs in the yucca flower. While the young moths consume pollen, they also serve the role of pollinators. However, when the yucca moth lays an excessive number of eggs in the flower, it offers no benefit to the yucca flower. Recognizing this, the yucca flower has evolved a mechanism to detect over-deposition. Upon detection, the flower detaches its petals, causing the moth's eggs to fall to the ground. This dynamic showcases cheating in a mutualistic relationship and the subsequent countermeasures.
