In many cultures, the tradition of family meals is seen as a daily life system. You will meet your family and communicate with them during the meal. However, this tradition is plummeting across many cultures for various reasons. This essay will show the reason for decline and the effects of that in tradition.
Firstly, the main reason why this is happening is the change in lifestyle. One significant reason is the increase in time of schedule for either the parents or the children. With the increase of the economy the parents will need more income so they will often find themselves working deeply and not seeing that the time is late for having meals with their children. Similarly, children and teenagers are now having after school activities that conflict with meal time schedules. The family meals are hard now because of the schedule of the family.
However, the decline in family meals will result in a large loss of cultural traditions, and it will reduce the family bond. When a family wants to meet or have a family meal again they will lose many of their family members because they did not meet from a long time so some of them will not have any bond with their families so they will not attend their gathering.
In conclusion, the decline of family meals is because of the lifestyle that leads to the loss of cultural traditions in many countries over the world. So, we need to balance family engagements and any other work.
