In the past, people emphasized the virtue of the extented family because in that time, it was is impotant for them that the entire member to cooperate enitre member of it. However, the improtance of extended family is doubted has doubted by many in these days. Moreover, the line of the famiily is has been vague in our society. This essey will explore why the extented famiily has been faded out.
First of all, the extented family has become meaningless because of the widespread(형용사) widespreads of individualism.

Becuase of the introduction of this new ideology, people started to stop understandting the value of each other and like to do what they want without any disturbance.Because of the introduction of this new ideology, now people do not try to understand the values of others and just do what they want to do without considering others. More and more people tend tends to live on their way, and as a result, they cannot help but to live seperately to pursue thier own purposes.
Not only prevalent individualism make it hard to the whole family hard to live together, but the gap between the generations also has contributed to the social phenomenon.
