▶ Your Answer :
Some people think that the extended family is as
significant today as the past.
However, in my opinion, family relationship became unimportant compared to the past.
Many people live seperately and move away from their howntown for their work
and education.
To begin with, there are a lot of people living away from their family. They do
not spend time with them, which means that they care about each other less than
the past. For example, when I was young, I spent time with my brothers on
playing card game. Also, my family took the family pictures once a two years.
We were very closed. However, as time goes by, when I and my brothers became
university students, we moved to other cities. After that, we just keep in
contact with each other, but we do not do something together anymore. My
parents are the same with us. They merely ask after me. My family has become
less interested in the members compared to the past.
On top of that, human beings move to big cities, such as Seoul, Busan, or
Daegu, for thier children's education and their jobs. We have fewer chances to
interact with family. According to the poll conducted by the Education
Department, 40% of students expressed a desire to migrate from their hometown
to cities after graduation even though they will be hard to see their family.
It indicates that they wanted to get better education and jobs. In the past,
especially, in countries, students came back to their hometown to succeed their
parents job, such as farming or raising livestocks after graduation. However,
these days, students want to study more or have a job in urban places.
To sum up, people live respectively from their family and live in other place,
not their hometown with them. In this regard, the extend family has less become
important to today's people.
