Band 6.5

Currently, more and more people respect elders and become convinced that old people should live with their families, which is in contrast to the view that old people should live at a nursing home. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Nowadays, many
people
 believe that
parents
 should live with their families rather than in an elder's home in their later part of
life
. In my opinion, I entirely agree with
this
 statement as
this
 is one of the most important value, that
people
 should preserve.
Parents
 take care of
children
 for their entire
life
 and provide food, education, healthcare and all other necessary facilities sacrificing their own well being.
Children
 grow under the parent's protection and
then
 move to live their own
life
 with a new career and family. But they should always keep in mind that they became

 they are because of the foundation built by the
parents
 and they should be grateful for that. As humans beings,
children
 should look after their
parents
 when they require assistance more than ever. It is the circle of
life
 that required to be maintained in order to keep the world a pleasant place.
However
, some
people
 do not consider
this
 a priority over the privacy of their
life
 and send their old
parents
 to a nursing home.
This
 will lead their
parents
 to depend on social workers rather than their loved family members. Many elders face
this
 situation and most of them suffer from
this
 isolation and which is detrimental to their health in the long run. Morals of the society are damaged by
this
 and
children
 will face the same when they come into that age as they did set a bad example in front of their
children
. In conclusion, some
people
 consider keeping
parents
 in their home is harming their privacy, but it will affect their
life
 satisfaction in the latter part of their lives immensely with a deep depression.
In contrast
,
people
 who value their parent's sacrifices and provide love and affection when it is most required will have a more satisfying
life
 and
parents
 will
also
 have a good farewell.
