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?

Over the decades, public started loosing interest in learning any life saving skills like stitching, plumbing etc.
This
essay looks into why people are turning away from these small craft works. People are less interested in doing any small work needed for their day to day life mainly due to lack of time. The world is going a very high pace and many people are struggling to cope up with that pace.
As a result
, they try to focus more on their primary motive, say job, in order to have a settled future and start thinking about outsourcing the household works. Another interesting fact is, in
this
competitive world parents are forcing their children to focus only on their studies and discourages them to get involved in extra curricular activities which doesn't provide them any value on academic results.
However
, not all society follows
this
. In my country people are always welcome to do the job that they want. Job satisfaction is the main factor. As long as you like the profession and enjoy the work that you perform, you should continue doing it. People should be passionate about their jobs. Every job has its own value and worth. No one should be discouraged from it.
This
makes people less dependent on others. In my opinion, every should be learning at least a handful of small craft works. In
this
modern era, its not a herculian task to get the resources needed. There is a plethora of opportunities and we should just grab it.
