▶ Your Answer : There might be some people who believe that today’s parents understand their children more than did parents 50years ago. However, I personally disagree with the above idea for the two subsequent reasons. First, Technology make it difficult for parents to keep up with their children. Second, today’s children are too busy to talk their parents. First of all, science technology makes generation gap. Over the past few decades, a variety of communication tools introduced to many people, such as SNS and smart phone, all of which used by children more than their parents. However, 50years ago, because of having little options, It is much easy that parents connect with their children. Let me bring up my personal story as an example, I always have used Twitter to be in touch with my friends. but my mother has a question why I frequently use it. My mother does not understand how Twitter not only is to be up to date with current trend but also I am to communicate with my friends. her inability to understand why I use Twitter make it difficult to relate well with me. children who lived in 50years ago do not have these things and lived monotonous life more than today’s children, which help them being more close to their parents. On top of that, today’s children do not have enough time to talk to their parents. because their life are so busy to survive in high competition world. As a result of that they have too hectic schedule, their parents do not have time to talk with their children and to learn their life. According to research done by the J.W institute of sociology, today’s children generally spend their time talking with their parents less than 30minute a week. This is because they are so busy with a school, a private education, after-school activities and use their time to study and to homework. On the other hand, 50years ago children spend talking with their parents more than 7hours a week. This is due to the fact that they came straight home after a class ,and they help their parents. This clearly shows that busy life of current children prevent from quality time with their parents. |
