In recent years, the family structure has changed as well as family roles, what are the changes occurring? Do you think these changes are positive or negative ? Give reason for your answer and include any relevant from your own knowledge or experience.

In
this
era of modernisation, everyone wants to be a part of a small or a nuclear family ,not a joint family. Over the past few years, the family responsibilities and the size of a family have changed.
This
essay will discuss how the size and the living preferences are changed
along with
the detail of how these changes are affecting the
values
, and the
respect
towards the
elders
negatively.
To begin
with, the first main change which occurs
due to
today's role of the family is that most of the
youngsters
do not want to live with their
parents
or grandparents. Because, they want their own privacy and maybe their separate home where they can live as they want, and it happens just because of their parent's attitude towards grandparents.
For example
, most working people do not have to take care of their
elders
due to
their hectic schedules, and the first role model of
youngsters
is their
parents
, so they just follow their
parents
, and
as a result
, they want to live separately.
Moreover
, these changes are not good in terms of
values
and
respect
for the
elders
.
For instance
, if
youngsters
do not share how with their
parents
or grandparents,
then
they might not be able to learn and know the traditions and
values
regarding their roots, because at an early ,age they get separated from their
elders
, so they do not get any chance to know their customs and
values
from their ancestors.
Also
, with that, the new generation will not give
respect
to their
parents
, because they might think they are living with them and they do not have any need to get involved with their
parents
.
To conclude
,
this
essay discussed how the structure of today's families is affecting the size of the family and living preferences of the
youngsters
, and how these affect the
values
and
respect
for the
elders
. In my opinion, I think the modern structure has negative effects on the young generation.
