To begin with ,raw material is loaded in the slit after the mining extraction in order to prepare for the melting stage.During this step, those element is melted at high temperatures around 1300 and 1500℃. Once finished,metal which is candescent is refined in a smelting cabin,prior to being poured by a machine into ingots. At the following stage of this process, ingots are linked to a cooling reservoir,which is utilized for lowering down the temperature of the metallic components.Subsequently,cooled metal is casted in the strand form while simultaneously rolled by rollers.Later on, steel rods are heated by a machine, and surface checking takes place afterwards to measure their automation.Finally, after being resized by a cutter, steel rods are applied to a unique ID, ready for the inspection.

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.
