There might be some people who believe that modern young people less rely on their parent than the past, while the others disagree with the above idea. Both camps have their own reasons to support their views. If I had to choose one, I would say that young ages today are more dependent on their parent than before. There are several reasons and examples as follows.
To begin with, young generation today are having more attention from their parent. This is because modern parents do not have many children unlike before. They have only one or two kids, so the parents could take care of young people more carefully than before. This could cause their child more rely on their parents. For example, when I was young, I had many sisters and brothers, so my parents did not have interest in how I grew up. I could build my thought by myself. In contrast, I have one daughter so I and my wife could focus on her when we raised her and it made her more dependent. As a result, she has difficulty when she has to choose something. Before she makes some decisions, she always ask for our opinion.
On top of that, more economic development has taken a place recently than before, so people can have more extra time with their family because of economic growth. As a result, young generation could enjoy various activities with parents such as camping and traveling for abundant time. For instance, when my parent was young, my grandparent had to work whole day because they were poor, so they did not have enough time with their child. In this way, the previous young generation could develop their own games. However, current young people cannot play with themselves. They always want to play with their parents. When they play alone, they became bored easily. Consequently, they increasingly rely on their parents more now than before.
In sum up, I strongly believe that current young generation would be less independent than previous young generation for the reasons I have mentioned above. In this regard, the importance of my view cannot be underestimated in young people.
