▶ Your Answer :
Many people may claim that, the young
people become much dependent on their parent compare to the past because recently
the parents totally dedicate themselves to their children's lives and pay all
of their attention to them. However, oppose to this assertion, I'm strongly believe
that the young people nowadays become much independent than before for two
reasons as follows.
First, more and more children staying home
alone without their parent's attention. To be specific, more parents today are
becoming working parents since they have to survive in a harsh reality that is
full of works to do and they do not have enough time to spend with their
children. In this case, children have to do every household chores by
themselves like washing dishes, cooking, mapping and so on. What is more, since
their parents do not have spare time to discuss some important decisions with
them, they have no choice but decide every crucial affair by themselves. And this
makes them become exactly independent.
According to the Ministry of Education in Korea 2017, compared to 2011~2016,
the rate of working parents increased by more than 45 percent. This ratio
implies that the rate is increasing every year and more children are leaved
alone.
Second, because of the outstanding development
of technology, the children do not need their parent's help anymore especially
when it comes to education. And this makes them more independent compared to
the past. For example, my ten-year-old brother started to study English online
from last semester. The online tutoring program provides students interesting
videos with adorable characters related to the study contents. Besides that,
the program also allocates online personal tutors for every student, so the students
who take the courses can ask questions whenever and wherever. It finally induced
increasing parents started do not need care about their children's education. The
main reason was that, they regarded the study program as the student's personal
teacher and it is much more professional than themselves. Furthermore, young people can
deal with the online systems proficiently than elders.
For these reasons, I firmly sure that the
young people are quite independent in these days because of the lack of
parental time and the development of technology.
