It is commonly believed that nowadays main factors that affect a child’s development are media, pop culture and friends. A different point of view is that family plays a significant role. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

It is argued that in current time, leading factors affecting a little one’s growth are peers, modern fashion and media, whereas, people having the other view reckon that family members have the most influential impact on the overall development of a child.

However

, I believe that the former viewpoint is worth considering because society influences them the most. Children’s physical and mental development is mainly affected by their surroundings. When they go out of their houses, they meet different types of people. They normally make friends in order to share their personal problems, which they find difficult to share with anybody else. If they do so, they feel more relaxed and satisfied.

affect them deeply. When they start watching it, they not only see fashion trends but

both mother and father are necessary for children, they cannot provide them with a wide atmosphere where children can explore more about the world. So, I disagree with

opinion because the family alone cannot provide their kids with
