I strongly think that to eat the food with families is very significant. Although it seems apparent to me, this might not be the case for others.I will use the point of productivity and sociability to illustrate my view in the topic at hand.
First of all, having a meal with family encourages student to work with passion. It is attributed to the fact that it can serve as one of the motivators for them to perform better and improve themselves. With such motivation, they will put in more effort, concentrate better on their tasks and feel a greater sense of responsibility for their work. According to the research conducted by the Ministry of Education in 2009, there was a huge difference between the groups of students in relation their rates of achievement. The students in Group A regularly ate meals with family and those in Group B did not. The research showed the students in Group A spent 25% more number of hours on studying and performed higher than those in Group B. In particular, the students in Group A followed instructions, submitted assignments on time, participated actively the discussion in class. On the other hand those in Group B dozed off in lesson, lacked focus while studying . It can be inferred that having a meal regularly with familiy is a direct correlation with the amount of effort and enery while the students invest in studying.
In addition, to eat meals commonly with family can allow the students to broaden their perspective. It is obvious that they will go through trial and error and this exposes them to different worlds of lifestyles, basic customs, and cultures. When they ate the food with family, they can also talk freely with them about anything, get some advice. So they can learn to embrace diversity. For example, when i had a part-time job, there was an Ethopian girl who brought a home-cooked meal. It smelled funny, and she ate the food with her hands without using utensils. Other students who had never seen such a scene kept their distances from her. however, being educated on Africa and African table manners from parents, I was perfectly understanding and comfortable with what was taking place
All in all, the importance of my view can be underestimated in that it can kill the two bird with one stone for the reasons I have mentioned above |
