As society develops, many issues arise regarding our lives and raise heated debate among people. One such issue that arouses out interest is whether people have to spend time with their family or at work. People from different walks of life may take different stances on this contentious issue. Personally, I agree with the given statement and there are two reasons that could validate my position.
First, people can relieve their stress with their family. Many people are often tied up with busy schedules and overwhelmed by enormous tasks both at work and school. They cannot get enough time to take a step back and refresh themselves and end up feeling frustrated and anxious. While spending time with their families, these people can take a mental break with their burdens lifted from their shoulders and get a relief from stress.
According to a survey conducted by MBC, one of the Korean broadcasting stations, more than 66 percent of the surveyed people responded that they engage in physical or social activities such as traveling or making food with family to overcome their stress. In the survey of more than a thousand people in the Seoul metropolitan area, the respondents said that all these activity greatly contributed to improving the quality of life, though the type of the activities varied across different age and gender groups. This clearly indicates that having time with family should be considered essential in that it helps to improve mood and increase happy hormones for today’s stress-ridden people.
In addition, parents have to teach their children by spending time together. These days, parents are busy with working leaving their children at home alone. As a result the young people feel lonely and cannot get proper education from their parents, sometimes being rude. In this respect, parents should do activities with their children rather that just work, focusing on their children’s education.
Let me use my own experience as an example. Before going to high school, I was a lonely girl who always spent most of time at home and was sometimes rude to adults because my parents did not have enough time to be with me at home and teach me how to react to adults. Then, on the first day of new-year, my parents decided to spend more time with me. So we did many activities together, such as climbing up mountain, playing soccer and so on. Gradually, I became sociable and polite, treating older people with respect. Spending time with my parents was crucial to me.
