In recent years, the family structure has changed, as well as family roles. What are the changes occurring? Do you think these changes are positive or negative?

Nowadays, people prefer living in small families, which is the reason to change their family structure and

besides

the responsibilities of male and female in building a family has become very important. According to me the perspective about the ongoing changes in the family is unnecessary.

Moreover

this

has more negative impacts rather that positive sides. During our grandparents and ancestors’ time there were only joint families, where children grew up with their parent, relatives and offspring under one roof. It was like an everyday festival and apart from

this

the environment in which a child is brought up will be peaceful.

Moreover

, they will be guarded by the grandparents and

also

learn good values from them which their parents had learnt.

However

, kids in the present day are not under the supervision of their parents, because both of them are working and they have no time to spend with children and enjoy each stage of the child’s growth.

Therefore

, the bonding between a youngster’s and elders has become distant.

For instance

, 15 years ago, there were no day care and toddlers were taken care by grandparents, whereas in the present-day, parents are busy with their jobs so they join their kids in the creche, since there are no elders to look after them.

Secondly

, the current trend in small families is that the couples get into disputes, which ends up getting divorced, because they are not under the proper guidance of elders on how to handle situations. In joint families, the conditions are contrary, where elderly people will try to solve

such

problems and bring peace in the family. To conclude, the changes in family structure have affected the child growth as well as troubles within the family. So, it would be better to stay in extended families to have a happy life.

Some people believe that it is good to share as much information as possible in scientific research, business, and the academic world. Others believe that some information is too important or too valuable to be shared freely. Discuss both these views and give your opinion.
On account of modern technological advancement, there has been a significant demand for subjects in relation to science and technology in higher education. Under the circumstances, there has been contention over whether students opt for either their favourite courses or some practical subjects which are often associated with science. Although taking those subjects may bolster students’ career prospects, I strongly argue that they should have the right to choose their preferred study, considering the current school curricula as well as their motivations.

Some people think that students should have educational leisure activities. Otherwise, it would be a complete waste of time. Do you agree or disagree?
Common sense suggests that learning through play has a more profound effect on students than the traditional methods. In my opinion, while a number of graduates succeed with the spoon-feeding method, I agree that children can be more productive when education is combined with joyful activities.
