Today food travel thousand of mile from farmers to consumers. Why is it so? It is a positive or negative development?
Nowadays, people often thought that it is of great value to have a nuclear family instead of having an extended family. Raising up a small family is beneficial owing to the reduction of chaos and misunderstanding in the family , and it lowers the amount of money spent on tuition fees but there are drawbacks to be taken into account.
One major benefit of having a smaller family is that there will be few times when the family will experience misunderstanding amongst themselves which reduces a child’s tendency of being aggressive in the future. For instance, in 2015, UNICEF outcome in their research states that 70 percent of stubborn children are raised in an extended home. Additionally, the amount of money that is required to cater for a child’s education and the domestic needs will be minimal, thereby, saving up so much for the family. This will enable them to boost their wealth status in the society. Which is as a result of them having few financial responsibilities to deal with in the family.
On the other hand , a major issue with small family is that parent give so much love and care to their children because there are few of them. This will however lead to a child finding it so difficult to be independent when they become adult. This has often times led to a negative outcome in their adulthood. Another disadvantage is that small family reduces the success tendency in a home, because parent most times limit the children from doing what they love but instead what their parent expects of them.
In conclusion, while smaller family is advantageous to the society, people should be aware of the setback such as lack of independency children face when they become adult and their inability to decide for themselves in their personal life goal.

Yashank- Hello suhird, it’s great to see you again
Suhird – Hi, it's great seeing you too, how long has it been? It must be more than 6 months. I'm doing good. How about you?
Yashank- Not too bad
Suhird- What is new?
Yashank- Well I wanted to meet you because I really want to talk to you about my friend.
Suhird- Okay

Suhird- Did you try to talk to him?
Yashank-Yes but he neither listens to me nor my friends.
Suhird- Do teachers know about him?
Yashank- I guess, but they just ignore him while they are teaching.
Suhird – why don’t you try talking to him again?
Yashank- I have done several times, but he still doesn’t pay attention.
Suhird- I think you should talk to his class teacher about him. Since they have more experience than us in handling students.
Yashank- OKAY, it sounds like a good idea. I will also ask him to make the subject more interesting and practical so that he is able to concentrate more on his studies.
Suhird- Do you need help with anything else?
Yashank- No, thank you for your time.
Suhird – No problem brother. Bye
Yashank- Bye
