Instead of outrightly banning gambling, how about if the concerned countries officially include gambling education in their academic syllabus, just like sex education is taught in schools. Gambling education will teach the young ones the dangers of gambling and promote moderation in gambling. Will this not be a better way to handle the gambling cases?
I agree with this line of thought. It should be normalize and kids from age fourteen should go through a class on gambling. It is vitally important exposing them to not only the dangers of gambling addiction but helping them to know how they can be part of the solution would be highly commendable.
but since we as humans would rather focus on the cure rather than prevention, it would be difficult to have gambling taught in class rooms as a course.
I have been going through the topic that I created a few days ago and I have seen that it has gotten up to five pages and more and everyone that is speaking on the topic are in support of the topic. I may not say everyone but majority of the people that have contributed. We have understood it this way because we are in one way or the other into the gambling and we understand how it can be solved but the government outside as you said believe in cure and not prevention.
If gambling education is well implemented, the rate of gambling and gambling addiction would be very much reduced. During this education of gambling you will also tell them the dangers of gambling and the law implication of being found gambling or abusing it. This will do a better job than the system that exist today.
