It is observed that communication between family members in today's time is less as compared to the past. However, some people do not think so. Do you agree or disagree?

become mainstream and accessible to everyone. Despite that, it has been noticed that many

people

knowingly refrain from communicating with their own families. So, to what extent is

time

has become a rare resource due to the fast pace our lives follow.

Therefore

, individuals would rather spend their breaks and leisure

time

focusing on themselves and doing pleasurable activities rather than spending quality

time

with their families. On top of that, the western culture doesn't give as much importance to the family as a whole as other cultures do.

For instance

, many families in the west expect their children to leave the house and become independent at 18, as well as it is expected of the elderly to spend their

last

days in retiring homes rather than with their close family.

This

plays a huge role in the lack of bond between family

members

. To summarize, many

people

nowadays do not feel the need to stay in contact with their family for diverse reasons.

On the other hand

,

this

phenomenon is not widespread, and many folks from all around the world put family as a top priority.

First

, many

people

try to educate their children with family-oriented values

such

as healthy communication between family

members

, quality

time

, or going to extended family events, all of that in aiming to maintain a good and positive balance of personal and family

time

.

Then

for some, the

members

of the family can be the only reliable

people

in their lives during moments of hardships

hence

the importance of maintaining a good and steady relationship with your family .

For example

, a cousin or a brother might be one of the only

people

present for you and help you, since they have known you since birth.

Therefore

, many cultures still hold onto those traditional family values. In conclusion, I disagree that communication between family

members

is becoming less important, as a family should always stay a priority and come

first

before many other aspects of our lives.
