Frankly speaking, a lot has changed over the last couple of decades. I vaguely remember that in my childhood, people were so nice and felt so connected. I remember we used to sit outside our house every evening and play. There was no strict concept of eating at home; one day we could eat there, and another day we could go somewhere else. This is how it was. But nowadays, probably due to commercialization or the fast-paced lifestyle, everything seems so distant or transactional that no one has time for their family members. It's quite disappointing. I believe that these things could change. Yes, development is good for the growth of society and for a country. But I believe that if the social norms are good, they should be continued and passed on to the next generation.
