Nowadays families are not as close as they used to be. What do you think are the causes of this? What can be done to make families closer?

It has been argued that in the past

people

were closer to each other in comparison with these days. There are several reasons for

this

problem and various measures can be taken by family members to improve the situation.

To begin

with, nowadays lacking enough

time

to spend with others and

also

being intolerant towards various opinions are major causes of weakening the ties between folks. In today's modern world, we witness that both men and women work and educate, while in the past was not like that. Due to

this

reason, they can not make

time

to spend with individuals.

Besides

, since in the past family members mostly used to accept different views much easier than the new generation, they could establish a rapport with other clans.

In other words

, if individuals are not tolerant of opposite convictions, they will separate themselves from society .

Consequently

,

this

is likely to decrease the closeness between families. To address

this

problem families can devote specific hours for family gatherings on a weekly basis. Meaning that,

although

individuals are so occupied, they should prioritise their activities and consider communication as a crucial one.

For instance

, they can invite their relatives to their house and have a blast with each other on weekends when they are not at work.

Furthermore

, another effective way to make groups closer is to make family members more tolerant.

This

means that

people

by starting to cultivate an open mind and increase their horizons to embrace opposite views can have a better relationship with

people

. By way of example, they can learn about different cultures and backgrounds to acquire a better understanding of other groups which can strengthen the ties between them. In conclusion, I argue that the issue of decreasing the closeness between

people

could be because of the lacking of adequate

time

to spend with others accompanied by the difficulty in accepting other's points of view.

This

problem can be solved if clans dedicate

time

to interact with others and stop being biased towards just their own beliefs to have an intimate relationship with other families.
