Parents spending less time on their children is a trend nowadays
and might be continue for a long time. A large number of people might
argue that today’s parents spend many as much time
on their children as they did in the past. Contrary to the popular belief, I
think that parents today tend to spend less time on their children comparing
compared with the past for the following
reasons; the number of double-income household has increased, and science
technology has developed amazingly.
First of all, today’s parents lack time to spend with their
children. As the time passed, people’s prejudice of
women has eliminated decreased.
Naturally, women began to study hard and as a result, find found a job. These days, the number of working mothers
has increased, and they usually spend much of their time at the workplace to survive in the
meritocratic society. Since they lack their personal time, their
children tend to spend their time at home alone. For example, according to the
researched conducted by the Korea Ministry of Gender Equality and Family in
2015, an average hour the average time that
parents spend with their children has decreased a lot, and the major factor for
it was the increase of double-income households. It means that, as parents tend
to spend more time on their occupation, they began to spend less time with
their kids.
In addition, as science technology has developed, children are now
able to study alone. Just looking around many sites, there are numerous
educational contents, such as online lecture, educational animations, and
knowledgeable quiz. Whereas Unlike the
time when students could only ask their parents to get some difficult
information, students today can just search the net to find information. This
content allowed them to study by themselves. For
instance, when my youngest cousin tried to learn math, he registered in an online math lecture course. It included various
math quizzes and also provided an online tutor to check his accomplishments. By using
this program, my aunt didn’t need to teach him and spend a lot of time on him. By looking this
situation, we can know that today’s parents prefer to
use Information Technology rather than spending their time on their children.
In
conclusion, I firmly believe that, the modern
society’s parents tend to spend less time on their children than in the
past. All things considered, it is my belief that my argument regarding this topic has been
efficiently and precisely delivered for the reasons mentioned above.
