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. People have different views about whether we are more or less dependent on others nowadays. In my view, modern life forces us to be more independent than people were in the past. There are two main reasons why it could be argued that we are more dependent on each other now.

Firstly

Linking Words

, life is more complex and difficult, especially because the cost of living has increased so dramatically.

For example

Linking Words

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

Secondly

Linking Words

, people seem to be more ambitious nowadays, and they want a better quality of life for their families.

This

Linking Words

means that both parents usually need to work full-time, and they depend on support from grandparents and babysitters for child care.

However

Linking Words

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

also

Linking Words

have more freedom to travel and live far away from our home towns.

For example

Linking Words

, many students choose to study abroad

instead

Linking Words

of going to their local university, and

this

Linking Words

experience makes them more independent as they learn to live alone. Another factor in

this

Linking Words

growing independence is technology, which allows us to work alone and from any part of the world. 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.

There was a trend in the last century to be in wedlock from an early age, nowadays it has become the opposite, the marriage starts at a late age. However, I think that the main reason for this tendency is the life average. Although, this is a bad way to make a family without life's experience and financial independence.
