▶ Your Answer : There might be some people who believe that young people today are more dependent on their parents compared to the past. However, I personally disagree with the above idea for the two subsequent reasons. First, today young people can get lots of information from the Internet. Second, their parents don't know about today's society.
First of all, young people today can get a lot of information from the Internet easily. In the past, they had no choice but to rely on their parents because there was no Internet and computer. However, today people can access information what they really want through the Internet. Let me bring a personal story as an example. When I was in the middle school, there was homework that research about past life. I could find lots of information about past life from the Internet, so I did not have to ask for parents about their past lives. This clearly shows that we don't have to depend on our parents.
Second, today young people parents don't know about society that today people lives. To be specific, there was lots of changes as time passes. For example, today people usually play computer games and sing a song at the singing room. However, past people did not do that. According to the recent study done by JGR Institute of Education(JIE), 80 percent of the students said that their parents don't know well about their thoughts and lives because there are so many differences between them. Also, they said that their parents' advice is not helpful to them. This clearly shows that their parents do not help students because of the differences between them.
In conclusion, today young people can gain a lot of information through the Internet, and their parents don't know about today's society becasue lots of time has passed. In this regard, I strongly believe that young people today are less dependent on their parents compared to the past. |
