More and more young people are interested in finding out about their family background and history. What are the possible reasons? Do you think this is a positive or negative development?
More and more young
people
are interested in studying more about their ancestors and history
. Certain people
have discussed possible reasons, and I'd like to talk about positive and negative points in my essay. To be honest, I appreciate this
development.
Nowadays, we're living in a modern world where people
have millions of pieces of information through the internet, and so, the same internet is connecting people
from any part of the globe. For instance
, globalization brings up another lifestyle in which individuals have a heavy workload while having no time
for thinking and enjoying their families, and then
time
flies. According to my personal experience, after getting married and having kids I started to think in another way where I want to spend more time
with those who are important to me, such
as family, friends, children, and so. Obviously, however
, I can't enjoy my grandparents anymore. In this
case, only rest to me searching about their history
and life. Unfortunately, I haven't remembered the last
photo that I had of my ancestors.
To support it, an article written by Family Around the World magazine,
shows curious numbers about youth's interest in their Remove the comma
apply
history
family. Around 60% of youngers had already asked in some moment for their parents about grandparents and great-grandparents. Besides
that, they made deep questions such
as what they used to do, how they taught education, and so. In my mind, it's a wonderful development because history
can't be forgotten. By the way, would be extremely important for society to use past values to apply to this
modern day, where many children will never experiment with the real feel of life.
Finally
, I argue that children should invest more and more time
in the search for answers about the past. In fact, they are only here with education, values and rights because their great-grandparents fought for them decades ago.Submitted by murilo.siqueira2012 on
