More and more young people are interested in finding out about their family background and history. What are the possible reasons? Do you think this is a positive or negative development?

These days, the study of the family's historical

background

has become more and more popular among the youth. While the main leading factor of

this

trend can be traced back to their desire for

. The reality in Vietnam is a good example of that; due to historical changes in 1975 in the South of Vietnam, many people had left their Motherland behind to find new life in other countries. Time went by, and their children now - as young oversea Vietnamese, are trying to find their origin and relatives in Vietnam for the purpose of family regathering. Despite the meaningful goals of the trend, I believe there are many negative impacts when young people trying to study their family

; particularly because it will badly affect their selection of future jobs. When finding out about their family in the past, they will either be under a huge pressure for the responsibility to follow their family’s success or be prevented from their ambition due to
