▶ Your Answer : Undeniably, parents play a significant role in people's daily lives in many of places where they work or play. Some people think that young persons today depend on their parents, while others do not. If I had to relieve my standpoint, I would say that youngers are less dependent on their parents than the past. There are two reasons as follows. To begin with, today's society in my country is becoming the information age. This phenomenon makes most of people independent from their parents unlike the past. That is, machines such as computers, robots and any auto-systems are replaced with their parents. For example, I was 10 in 1993. At that time, I had a lot of school's assignments such as collecting insects and searching my ancestor. Because of an amount of the tasks, I should need my mother's help. Especially, searching my ancestor was so hard to me. Without my mother, I could not complete the homework. However, I have a nephew who is 9 now, but he always plays with his personal computer. His all difficult assignments of his school are solved by using his computer without parents. To be specific, the Internet connected in the computer helps him to finish his homework. Therefore, we can say that by the information age, today's youngers do not need their parents' helps. On top of that, youngers in the past needed their parents' permission. However, according to change of society, most of young people tend to live alone without their parents. This trend makes a lot of nuclear family system. A young person with nuclear family system makes a decision his all plans without parents. For instance, I have an uncle. His age is 62 years old now. I was told that when he was twenties, he thought he should necessarily live with his parents. Also, he said that his all friends thought like him. Anyway, when he had something to make decisions, he said that he always discussed his opinions with his parents. However, a younger who is me, today, is 26 and I do not like to make decisions my plans with my parents. In particular, because I have wanted to be independent from parents, I boldly execute it without parents. My friends agree with my opinions and they are thinking like me. All in all, I strongly believe that modern young people tend to be independent from their parents. This trend cannot be overestimated in the pursuit of following today's society. |
