In this modern era, most of the people or families prefer to live separately and they are comfortable with that whereas the situation was different in the past as families are much more happier and close to each other. I will discuss the reasons behind this and the disadvantages of this trend outweigh the advantages.
To commence with, there are numerous reasons why families are not close to each other and why they are not giving proper attention and important to their loved ones. First and foremost reason is that due to the hectic schedule of people especially parents as they are busy in managing their jobs and full-filling their needs. To exemplify, working parents did not get enough time to look after their families and in their leisure time they prefer to do some rest or other kind of works. As, in case of women, who is doing her job outside and when she gets home she has to take care of household chores. Therefore, workaholic people are not able to run families and lack of proper time will result in weak bonds of love and care. Another reason could be the advancement of technology because people start spending their valuable time on internet as they think that it is more important for them. Everyone in the family even the youngest children have their own mobile phones as they got used to it. But, in the past, there were no electronic gadgets and that’s why people like to spend their quality time with their families in ups and downs.
Moreover, this trend lead to many demerits. Strong family connection is really important in everyone’s life as family is a relation which plays a vital role and helps people in different phases of life. Nowadays, it is observed that family members are not connected with each other due to some reasons and this impact adversely effect on their life especially on children’s future. There are many valuable lessons of life which can be only learned from family. Not only this, there will be a change in behavior of kids as they will become aggressive and careless. As a result, this is not good for family relationships as well as social connection.
To recapitulate, although there are some reasons for poor connection of family members which can be taken into consideration but this is not good for family and society.
