In recent years, the family structure has changed, as well as family roles. What are the changes which have occurred? Do you think these changes are positive or negative?

The modern generation family model has restructured, and the

responsibilities

of the family members have

also

impacted. In my opinion, these changes have a negative impact because, most

families

are isolated into smaller groups which disturbed the

balance

in

life

and health of the people, and

both

wife

and

husband

are preferring to work and the

children

in the family are ignored.

Firstly

, in the previous year's majority of the

families

were joint

families

living together in a big house. The men in the family were usually taken

care

of the financial

responsibilities

, women used to take

care

of the family and the elders took the responsibility of the

children

.

For example

, when I was a kid, my father was running a business to earn money required for our family, my mother used to take

care

of the house-hold work, and my grandparents were used to teach us good things and their experiences of

life

.

This

helped to

balance

the stress in the family as well as we are emotionally connected and take

care

of each other. But nowadays the isolated family lacks

this

advantage.

Secondly

, in most smaller isolated

families

,

both

wife

and

husband

are working hard to earn, as many of them usually believe that money is the main factor to maintain high social status and costly lifestyle. While the couple is working, the

children

have no support from elders to take

care

of them and they are left in the hostel or daycare

care

.

This

is has a negative impact on the family and society as well because, the family losses connect between them and

children

may opt for a wrong path in their carrier as they have no one to guide them.

For example

, I know a family in which

both

the

wife

and

husband

used to work in a private company and their 6-year-old son was placed in a hostel.

Both

wife

and

husband

separated after a few years as there were many misunderstandings between them in managing the family, and the main reason for

this

is stress and improper work-

life

balance

.

Moreover

, now the

life

of the child is

also

spoiled due to their parent's separation. Overall,

this

shows that changes in family

responsibilities

cause damage to humans in the social community. In conclusion, in recent years,

both

the family structure and the roles that family members used to play have changed. I believe that these changes have a negative impact. The old fashioned combined family with shared roles and

responsibilities

had a better

balance

in

life

.
