There is an ongoing debate over conducting research about family background, with some saying that more attention should be paid the current and future generations, while other argue that research on family history is more important. Although, learning old generation has some benefits such as helping to understand people’s roots and cultural heritage, I firmly believe that focusing on the present and future is more practical and useful.
On the one hand, learning individuals’ background helps people to know their identity. They can be aware of their origin and how their ancestors develop their unity. As a result, it leads to appreciation past generations, strengthen family bonds and encourage young people to keep important traditions. Furthermore, cultural heritage plays a significant role to shape their identity. Because people try to achieve higher acceptance from society than their ancestors. Thus, encourage them to try harder and sacrifice all their effort. For example, a royal family’s members especially men always develop their personal skills like kings because one day they may take a country control.
On the other hand, I would say that paying attention to the current and future generations is more practical. Understanding family present situation allows to solve issues efficiently and make ready people future challenges like financial difficulties and personal conflicts. As a result, it helps to individuals to address the issues by earning a stable income and support their family members emotionally. Furthermore, the first and foremost useful aspects of learning present and future is people have a chance to identify problems and find the best solution compared to past. Since they are facing difficulties nowadays, they can change the situation for their side. For instance, If people know their child’s rude personality, they may have time to alter the character to a positive one.
In conclusion, while learning past generations leads people to understand their roots and cultural heritage, I strongly believe that humans should pay attention the present and future because of it practical and useful sides.
