Do you agree or disagree on the following statesment? The extended family is less important now than it was past. |
There is an argument regarding whether the big family is more vital than the past or not. Some people might insist that the big family could not take an important role in the modern society since the society has been being drastically changed. However, I dis agree with this opinion because the exteded family has the function of education and a solution of social problem. I will breifly present two reasons supporting to my idea in this essay.
First of all, the big family is able to fuction education like developing children's socail skills and teaching basic rule. That is to say, the elder as members of family can educate their children. In my case, I had lived with my grandmother and grandfather for 15 years until they passed away. living with them, somtimes my grandfather, retired the korean history teacher, told me about various historical stories and therfore I could expend my knowledge in the history and he always placed an emphasis on the importance of friendship. Now I still remember his lesson well as yesterday
In addition, the big family has an answer to social problem like juvenile deliquency and the problem of the aged. According to a report released by Harvard university in last week, 95% of people who are in teen in prison lived in the nuclear family where the number of member is less than 3 persons. This research shows us that the large family plays a key role in reducing the rate of juvenile deliquency. Besides the big family can automatically give a solution to the problem of the aged by itself because of living with the elder.
In conclusion, I definitely believe that a residing in a big scale has benefits to the society since they provides us with the function of education and the key to the social problems.
