In many countries, the tradition of families having meals together is disappearing. Why is this happening? What will be the effect of it on the family and society?

These days, people who live in countries that

initially

have a strong family culture

such

as having

mealtime

together seem to have abandoned

this

practice. The sole reason for

this

particular cause is because they are occupied with keeping up with the high tempo of

life

, spend their time mainly working and surely their busy

life

affects the

mealtime

tradition which is because of

this

some changes occur in the family and society.

First

of all, modern

life

requires a modern way of living where everybody is thriving and shaping their career.

In other words

, every individual does not want to be left out of society,

therefore

, living their busy

life

to maintain their status in the social hierarchy has resulted in people having insufficient time to eat together with their family. The standout example is in European countries where 70 years ago, dining together with the whole family was not only seen as a family tradition to celebrate every occasion and share stories but

also

acted as social status, yet in recent days

this

occurrence has been long gone for some crowd, they even barely have lunch or dinner with their nuclear family at home because it will be easier to eat at work. Some possible effects that influence family due to fading out of

mealtime

customs are less interaction, attention, bond, and love among family members.

For instance

, children will not be able to find a perfect pace when they can freely express themselves to their parents as well as the parents

also

will find it hard to release their stress since eating together is a means of distressing. As for the public, Children who are unlikely to have a meal together at home will behave improperly in the community and do criminal actions

such

as stealing and committing violence. To conclude, the disappearance of family

mealtime

is caused by folk who focus only on their work and social status

instead

of nurturing their family way of spending moments together to eat at home because

this

experience is essential to prevent bad effects that can take place in the future.
