WRITING TASK 2 It is generally accepted that families are not as close as they used to be. Give some reasons why this change has happened and suggest how families could be brought closer together.

A family is usually a unit of people bound primarily by blood.

However

, blood alone seems to be insufficient in

this

day and age to keep the intimate link between families.

Although

numerous reasons contribute to

this

phenomenon, certain solutions if followed can help greatly in strengthening the family ties again. Primarily, globalization and city-centric life

have forced

Suggestion

has forced

people to move to different cities and even in different countries, either for better career prospects or higher studies.

This

current concept has forced many to have a tight schedule and pressurized job life.

Thus

more nuclear families have been created and have caused individuals to become emotionally estranged from their family members.

Additionally

,

instead

of bonding to family, people are

bonding

Suggestion

bonded

to social media and the online world, including games. Women, girls, men, boys, and even babies are looking at digital devices more than conversing with each other. Unfortunately, not only are they lacking attention from their family, but they

also

are unable to give priority to their family.

As a result

, the old value of tradition and family closeness is losing its appeal and importance these days.

Nevertheless

, the resolutions to these problems are in the problems themselves.

Firstly

, a balance should be maintained between professional and personal life. Even if the workload is more, time management should be done in

such

a manner that official work does not hinder the communication with near and dear ones.

Also

, the modern telecommunication system can be used to be in touch with kinsfolk.

Lastly

, parents should restrict their media usage and take time to ensure that

roles

a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior

rules

are understood and respected and guide

children

Suggestion

the children

by teaching and correcting them constantly. To summarize, the love and care that one receives from family members is immeasurable and irreplaceable.

Hence

, one should do every possible thing to have a close-knit family.
