| IELTS ESSAY - Lifestyle changes and Family Relationship |
Quickly shifting paradigms in the way people
are living today is impacting their interaction with their families. This
transformation does have certain benefits and drawbacks, but do they outshine
each other, is a matter worthy of a deep analysis.
Undoubtedly, switchovers in the lifestyles,
often resulting in nuclear family settings, has rendered more independence to
individuals. They, no more, need to be dependent on the moods and preferences
of others to do something. This has, in a way, helped fetch extremely
satisfying experiences for many where they are able to lead a life as per their
choice and, consequently, avoid clashes.
Having said that, despite many virtually
venerating this new shift in the ways of life, it is really disheartening to
see the way people struggling to cope with the challenges posed by living away
from their families. The emotional connect, the bonhomie, and the bonding seem to have gone missing,
and it has been replaced with a strange sense of competition, where each one is
trying to prove their superiority over their once closed ones with whom they shared
feelings of endearment.
Moreover, the enstrangement is a common sight
between ones who lived and shared the space, resulting in disappearance of
family and social values. The hardest hit of this change are the young ones born in the nuclear families:
they are never able to familiarize themselves with their own relatives, and end
up drifting away from their family identity. In the long run it is feared that
this might undo the social fabric and harm the society.
Hence, I can clearly assert that the even
though hard to evade, contemporary way of living has brought in more misery,
for all, than promises. It is clear that if this trend continues, society will
soon be populated with those apathetical to others.
