The fact that families are nowdays not closer than they used to be. It will be lots of the possible reasons.
The dramatical change of industry is one of the reasons. In the past, most of people earned the money to live by agriculture. For the increase of productive power, people needed more labor power. So that reason, the form of family was usually a large family including grand parents, parents, and children. There were lots of family members .They usually cared each other and play together. From that situation their relationship has been stronger and stronger.
However, industry has been changed from labor intensive industry to technology intensive industry. Because of that change ,young people move their heritage from village to cities. It caused children didn't have relationship with their grand parents and also lots of siblings.
Second reason of weaker relationship of family is people are so busy. Most people should survive in very competitive world and also have lots of responsibilities such as paying bills or supporting their children. So that reason, they don't have enough time to relax with their family.
Finally, people nowdays have lost their patience and responsibility in relationship. So, many young couple broke up easily.
To sum up, I think people have more time with their family and talk each other what they want ,how was daily life . From the try, they get understanding about their family .so, I recommend have least one hour of family talking. You can get understanding about family also love your family. |
