Some people say now there is less communication between family members than in the past. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Interaction with family members has remained an integral part of our society since prehistoric times.

However

, some hold the view that

communication

between family members has become less frequent over

time

.

This

essay will

instead

argue that

communication

in the present times has considerably increased relative to the past. It is widely believed that

communication

among family members is significantly decreased in today’s day and

age

. Most people are finding less

time

to spend with their families as they are finding it relatively harder to fulfil the family’s end meets.

This

is because the increased commodity prices and desire for savings, require individuals to work for longer hours and

hence

, the

time

that is

supposed to be spent with family members rather gets compromised.

Moreover

, in the modern era, individuals attempt to be more independent than before.

This

essentially means they would think twice before opting to share their concerns and feelings with other family members. They attempt to spend more

time

resolving the issue than to spare

time

to discuss them with the other family members. It is

this

thinking transformation that has occurred over

time

that has

also

contributed towards reduced

communication

among family members. Despite the above-mentioned challenges introduced by the modern

age

, the notion that

communication

has reduced over

time

is flawed. Modern

communication

devices have facilitated

communication

between family members. Family members do not have to travel vast distances as before if they wish to talk or spend

time

with their loved ones.

For instance

, in a matter of seconds, using a cell phone, they can reach out to someone even living across the globe. Unlike today, family members had to take into account the long distances, weather, social safety along with other factors prior to deciding to talk to their closed relatives. In short,

communication

over

time

has surged due to the introduction of modern forms of

communication

, despite the challenges offered by the present

age

. In conclusion,

this

essay argued that contemporary times offer more ways to connect with your family members than earlier times. In my opinion,

this

is justifiably true that modern

age

presents unique challenges which can impact

communication

to a certain extent but with the modern mediums of

communication

,

this

challenge is entirely countered and, in fact, has increased connection between family members.
