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
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.
