Family is considered the
first
and foremost component of every human. In the past, there was a structure in the family where each one had roles and responsibilities but with globalization and people becoming more independent there are vast changes
occurred in a family. However
, these changes
are some sort of positive and negative because if not these changes
people cannot live a family life. The following essay will elaborate further
on the aforementioned point with examples.
At the beginning of the human evaluation father or men was working and feeding the whole family and females were taking care of children
and providing proper nutrition for the family. However
, today this
system has completely turned upside down because both of the parents work
day and night and there is no role to define between males and females. Thus
, this
structure has changed due to the economic changes
and high demand between the family members
. As an example, instead
of mothers taking care of the family nowadays nannies do this
job and at a very young age children
are enrolled in daycare centres. Moreover
, before the changes
occurred in family roles children
were raised under parents or grandparents until they are married or ready to move away but this
has completely changed hence
, children
move out from their house after 18 years or they start to work
in convenience stores to earn for themselves.
On the contrary
, the alterations that have occurred to the household role have positive and negative. Firstly
, as the economy is changing and the prices of food and other subsidies are increasing one member of the family cannot feed 4 or 5 members
therefore
, either both members
or elders should work
to earn. Secondly
, adolescents have more demands with their needs such
as technological equipment, clothes, fashion, etc, to compete with the new trends it is true that today children
work
in stores because the majority of the parents cannot afford the prices of 2 or three children
. On the other hand
, the main disadvantage of changing family roles is that the bond between the members
is split out and they do not have time for each other.
In conclusion, family duties and responsibilities have changed due to the trends and economic changes
in the world and this
brings advantages such
as overcoming family burdens. Moreover
, the negatives can be the close bond is damaged.Submitted by wathsala.lekamge1997 on
