Communication between family members has decreased in recent times. Do you agree or disagree? Discuss both sides and give your own opinion. Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.
Interaction among near and dear ones has been affected in recent times due to several reasons. Factors causing
this
are the advent of social media and highly demanding jobs. This
essay will discuss both views and showcase the effects of both.
Firstly
, the development and use of the internet and online application have provided so many benefits to communicating with our family. Video calls across different continents were unthinkable many years before, but now with a single ,click we can chat or talk with our kin from different parts of the world. In my personal experience, for instance
, I have interacted regularly with my friends over video chat who are in different countries, without any hassle. Moreover
, corporate culture has also
adapted to modern times, by making working hours more flexible, encouraging people
to spend more time
with family. For example
, many IT companies are providing laptops and internet dongles allowing employees to work more hours from home. This
in turn helps people
to utilize time
at their home in a better way.
Secondly
, there are also
palpable negative effects of apps and smartphones. Young people
are seen spending less time
with their parents and more time
on applications like Instagram, Snapchat, and tik-tok. This
has greatly reduced the emotional bonding between parents and their children. The consequence of this
is that teenagers have dangerously become fascinated by the virtual world and are latched onto it, like a leech of human flesh. To my knowledge, recent studies have shown that online apps are as addictive as an abuse of cocaine or marijuana. This
is pulling young people
away from their parents which in the long run will show adverse effects.
To conclude, in current years, we have seen quite a lot of factors affecting bonding among family members. I completely agree that sharing and caring among family has largely deteriorated in past few years. If we don't take cognizance of it, it might cause dire consequences that will destroy the entire family.Submitted by deepika Tomar on
