Some people think that in the modern world we are more dependent on each other, while others think that people have become more independent Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

It is a common belief that we are more dependent on others nowadays.

However

, in my opinion, modern life forces us to be more independent than people were in the past. The argue that we are more dependent on each other now could be explained by two main reasons.

Firstly

, life is becoming more complex and difficult, particularly due to the cost of living has increased so dramatically.

For instance

, when young adults buy a house, they often tend to rely on their parents for financial help. Property prices are higher than ever, it would be impossible for many people to pay a deposit without help.

Secondly

, in these days, almost both parents work full-time with a desire to have a better quality of life for their families.

This

means they have less time for child care and must depend on support from grandparents and babysitters.

However

, I would agree with those who believe that people are more independent these days. In most countries, families are becoming more independent and many more teenagers are choosing to live alone, which means that people cannot count on relatives as much as they used to.

In addition

, in the context of developed world, we

also

have more freedom to travel and live far from our hometowns.

For example

experience makes them more independent as they learn how to live alone. In conclusion, while there are some reasons to believe that people now depend on each other more, my own view is that we are more independent than ever.
