It is unfortunate that, in the recent ages, many individuals may think that anti-social attitude and loss of respectful behavior for other people have increased dramatically. There are several factors for this phenomenon. This essay will discuss the main causes of this topic and how to ameliorate this situation.
There is no doubt that due to the explosion in technology innovations, many are attracted to their use to play games, communicate with others, and watch videos. Moreover, they are targeting all age groups, even children. Parents, who are forced to work for long hours, leave their children unattended, allowing them to play video games or watch TV for long times. Several studies showed that children who use their electronic devices for extended times show less respectful behavior to their teachers and elderly. Furthermore, they show aggressive behavior because of the content they watch. Consequently, these children prefer spending their time before their screens to going to outdoor activities or family gatherings.
There are possible solutions for this problem. Mainly, I believe that we should return back to the concept of old joint families, where the whole family take care of each other, strengthening their relationships across the several generations. Constraining electronic devices use is mandatory to all individuals and encouraging them to perform other activities to help communicating with others, for example sports or travelling. The governments as well has a role to maximize work hours per day, so that families can spend some time with each other and meet some friends, for instance.
In conclusion, being an anti-social person with showing lack of respect for others is an acquired attitude that need simple measures to be reverted and hence, having a social and healthy communicable people. Understanding the factors behind this phenomenon helps solving it efficientIy.
