There is a controversial statement heating a debate over whether settlers in
this
day and age are becoming more insatiable and self-centred compared to the past. It is argued that we ought to return to the conventional ways of honouring family and
community
. Personally, I would consider myself a proponent of
this
notion since it is the most effective way to form a better world for
people
to dwell in.
Without a shadow of a doubt, family is treated with more respect by previous generations than it is by the current
generation
. To be specific, in former times, whenever the pressing problems come up, the
first
one
people
turned to was their beloved members and relatives, who were not only willing to help immediately but
also
brought about sentimental and tangible benefits.
In other words
, sharing and caring were given unconditionally to each member and they were eager for providing prompt encouragement in order to boost
people
’s confidence to confront the problems.
On the contrary
, the current
generation
leads a more independent lifestyle, which means sharing is far rarer than in the old days. Indeed, they often have a tendency to blame for the misunderstandings and
generation
gap of predecessors. Undeniably, radical alterations in attitudes towards family can cause severe consequences, especially the breakdown of family solidarity.
Therefore
, reviving the bygone attitudes towards beloved members is of significance.
Besides
, preceding generations contribute to the
community
much more than the current
generation
. In fact, back in the old days,
people
live in a
community
that others' benefits were taken into concern and almost every action was done for the sake of others. In stark contrast, so greedy are
people
for the time being that they may engage in illegitimate activities for their own profit expansion.
For example
, merchants earn handsome incomes from producing the disqualified products and cajoling customers to purchase them even though they do not need them.
Nevertheless
, they refuse to plough back a fraction of their revenues to the association's benefits
such
as charity, helping homeless
people
or enhancing the condition of slums.
Consequently
, the solidarity of the
community
is dismantled due to overwhelming egotism.
In conclusion, it is of my strong belief that greed and individualism do both families and society a disservice so it is vital for
people
to avoid
further
loss of household solidarity and
community
unity by reconstructing the concept of family and
community
like what members of the society in the previous
generation
used to do with a view to erecting a better world for ordinary citizens to settle in.
