參考範文

There has been a growing trend in many countries where people tend to spend less time with their families. While this may be seen as a necessary sacrifice for some, there exist consequences.

One reason leading to this situation is the economic pressure. Many societies are now designed for the average family to be apart since most households require two incomes. Therefore, parents and children are separated during the day to school or day care and work. Additionally, it is easy to notice that many working parents spend the majority of their time in the office or are on constant business trips to other places, as they have to ensure an advantageous position in the face of stiff competition.

Consequently, they have very limited time to be with their children, which may easily result in an increasing sense of alienation in the family. It is reported that insufficient quality family time usually takes a heavy toll on children’s development. For instance, lack of parental attention can cause resentment among some children.

Another reason for this shift is society’s promotion of independence. Independence has become more predominant due to the fact that modern technology has increased exposure to global events. This exposure encourages people to have more life enriching experience, such as travelling, studying or working abroad, which promotes a stronger sense of independence within themselves. Therefore, people are becoming more informed and open-minded than in the past.

However, there are consequences on individuals and their families. Homesickness is often a result of being long time away from family, giving rise to depression. If people cannot adjust and adapt quickly, their study or work may be severely affected. Family bonds can be weakened by long periods of separation. For example, relationships between spouses may be strained to the point where marital problems arise.

To conclude, although the reasons for people to stay away from their families are understandable, this development does have adverse effects on maintaining family closeness.
