In many modern societies, grandchildren rarely spend any quality time with their grandparents. What do you think are the consequences of this ?

In a vast number of societies, grandchildren and

grandparents

rarely spend time together improving mutual relationships. There are a lot of causes for

this

condition, one of them is working environments that

vacation. I think it may lead to a couple of negative consequences.

Firstly

, misunderstandings may occur between the representatives of 2 different

generations

.

In other words

, it can be the root cause of ongoing squabbles and arguments. Without knowing each other, it is quite difficult to understand others and come to a certain agreement.

Moreover

, modern technologies widen the gap between

generations

creating barriers for live gatherings.

Thus

, they worsen the current situation in many societies around the globe.

For instance

, some social surveys revealed that about 30% of modern children visit their

grandparents

only once a year.

Secondly

, being keepers of traditions and customs,

grandparents

may not be able to fully transfer all the cultural knowledge and legacy to younger

generations

.

This

can have a negative impact on cultural development in many nations and countries.

Also

, national identities might be lost

For example

connection with their ancestors. They do not know the history of certain dates and people from the past who made a great impact. In conclusion, the fact that grandchildren rarely spend any quality time with their

grandparents

may result in cultural degradation and misunderstandings between different

generations

. I would recommend that youngsters spend weekends with

grandparents

.
