It is commonly believed that nowadays main factors that affect a child’s development are media, pop culture and friends. A different point of view is that family plays the most significant role.

It is commonly believed that

children

are influenced by their environment. What is not agreed upon is whether it is family or outside

factors

that have the most influence. In

this

essay, both of these viewpoints will be outlined. Nowadays,

children

have to go to school five days per week. They meet their friends almost every day. They

also

spend a huge time using the internet.

Additionally

, young

people

usually imitate

people

they are familiar with.

Similarly

,

children

often mimic what they see in the media. They are all sorts of influencers and online personalities that millions of young

people

view every day. Inversely, it is widely held that family is a primary influence. Most

children

live with their families, meaning that many have constant exposure to parents, siblings, and relatives.

Moreover

, parents are normally the

people

who have a responsibility to teach their

children

. Young

people

that were given morals are likely to copy the way they were taught. It is my opinion that family plays the biggest role in a child’s life. I have noticed that I often have the same opinion as my mother.

Furthermore

, I have observed my sister begin to copy my mother’s actions. As

such

, in my own life, it is family that has been the main influence on how my sister and I compose ourselves. To summarize, both external

factors

,

such

as friends, pop culture, and media, and family as internal

factors

play a significant role in a child’s development.

Although

my opinion is that internal

factors

have more effect,

children

need both

factors

to build their growth. They cannot grow up either external or internal causes.

That is

to say, the more their environment is better, the more their growth becomes better.
