While some believe that modernisation has made us more reliant on each other,
others
,
however
, think that we are more self-reliant and free from dependency on
others
as time has progressed. I believe that we have become more independent than at any time in history.
People
who advocate that we have become more dependent on each other in
this
modern era often present the idea that our necessity has increased and we need to interact with far more
people
due to
this
.
This
in a way requires us to rely on
others
for our needs.
For instance
, office executives mostly rely on laundry services, restaurants, housemaids, cleaning services and so on to have their necessary works done. In the past,
people
used to do most of these tasks on their own.
Moreover
, the prices of education, house, daily commodities etc. are skyrocketing day by day and we need to rely on our parents to have those needs fulfilled until we get a job. When we will become earning members, our parents and children will rely on us. Due to
people
’s busy schedules and high ambitions, they need to socialise and get to know
people
from different walks of life and
this
creates a wider circle in which
people
’s interaction and reliance on each other increase.
However
, I would agree with the
people
who opine that modernization has made us free and less reliant on
others
. In most countries, young children are trying to support their education and living costs. After a certain age, they prefer to stay own their own house. The number of nuclear and single-parent families proves that
people
are less reliant on
others
. We are free to pick the school, travel to other countries and make our choices for most of the major events in our life including picking our life partners. The progress of technology has made us more self-reliant and we love to take advantage of modern tools and devices to make things of our own.
For instance
, many
people
these days pick an online lesson than getting admitted to a training institute. Many of us even have the freedom to work from home and
this
is a paradigm shift in the way we earn our living.
Finally
, the gender equality and women empowerment movements have greatly made women free from
others
reliance and self-dependent and
this
has all been possible only recently.
In conclusion, though some
people
think that the modern era is the time when we are more reliant on each other, I personally believe that we are more free and self-reliant
instead
.
