In mordern times, children are spending less time with their families and more time with their friends. 1. Why has this change occured? 2. Do you think parents should force their children to spend more time at home?
It has become more common that the amount of time children spend with their families is reduced in modern society. The trend primarily comes from a higher employment rate among women. I believe this is a negative trend and children should be forced to spend more time at home so they can be more responsible as they do chores and help their families regardless of various social skills they could learn from friends.

In the past, women were accustomed to marry once they reach a certain age. However, in the contemporary society, ladies tend to refrain from marriage and prefer living by themseleves. Many believe the reason behind this change as women being financially independent in the present world. According to my perspective in addition to the aforementioned fact, there are several reasons behind this phenomenon. In the forthcoming paragraphs, I will elaborate on this in more detail.
