It is commonly believed that nowadays main factors that affect a child's development are media, pop culture and friends. A different point of view is that family plays the most significant role. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

It is generally agreed today that a

child

's development depends on friends, the internet, and culture.

However

, some people believe that the parent's role is more considerable.

This

is because the latter has a more dramatic impact. On the one hand, children psychologically repeat everything they are told, they will do what they see, and usually, their behaviour is influenced by their environment.

Moreover

, when little ones leave their houses, they meet different people with different cultures and behaviours. So, their personality will be impressed.

For instance

, my little sister wants many toys, like in movies about a princess.

However

, the family plays an essential role in a

child

's life, and

parents

should give a good upbringing to their

child

and be close to the

child

.

Therefore

,

parents

have a strong influence on their children.

For example

, if

parents

swear, the

child

will see

this

and consider it every day;

thus

, it will be the same in the future.

Therefore

,

parents

have a profound influence on the character of children in comparison to social media and peer groups.

To conclude

, it is believed that the impact of

parents

' role outweighs it compared to social media and friend groups.
