In the past many people had skills such as making their own clothes and doing repairs to things in the house. In many countries, nowadays, skills like these are disappearing. Why do you think this change is happening? How far is this situation true in your country?

There is no doubt that skills have changed in common people in the

last

few years. Earlier, people would make their clothes or paint their walls. Though nowadays,

this

has decreased a lot and almost vanished. To embark on, many factors are influencing

this

trend.

Firstly

, busy life of big cities leaves no time for individual to have time for their hobbies.

This

leads to no practice of talent and forgetting them.

Secondly

, with increasing earning comes affordability to outsource

such

works.

For example

, people get their clothes stitched from the tailor and buy items like sweater, foods from shops rather than making on their own.

Lastly

, in the generation of industrialization and luxury, these items are status symbols and tend to be bought only rather than making for self.

For instance

, skirts from brands like Zara would be a high profile symbol for rather than a self- stitched similar skirt at ¼ price.

Therefore

, others tend to judge you of lower standard if you get things made for yourself.

Further

to discuss, the situation in my country would be very much similar.

This

is because in our generation, few of us know how to sew and stitch, contrary to our parents who knew it. But

also

to add on that our grandparents even knew how to plough their fields that our parents could not learn.

Thus

to conclude

this

disappearance of talents is side effect of industrialization and moving away from our parents and roots in search of jobs and better lifestyle.
