Nowadays, more and more people, especially young adults, prefer to live alone. The importance of big family is getting weaker for some reasons. First, individualism is prevalent in modern society. Second, modern society allow people to do anything alone unlike those in the past. It is safe to say that in modern era, the widespread thoughts of individualism make a change in people’s lifestyles. People do not want to be put pressure or intervened by others, even if they are their family. I will show my case as an example. I was born in a household with parents, grandparents, and two aunts. I used to get precious love from them, but as time goes by, I felt stressed out under their irritating behavior. They did not have an attempt to prevent my privacy, and some of the behaviors such as opening door without knocking made me get angry. For these reasons, as soon as I became an adult, I got a home for me to live alone. Now I am contented with my life because there is nothing to offend me. As far as I am concerned, social system and atmosphere are convenient and comfortable enough for people to live alone. They can do what they want regardless of not having a companion. For instance, newly invented devices in the twenty-first century, including VR device, smartphone, and Al speaker, can be of big help to people in keeping them from feeling staid or torpid when they are left alone. Furthermore, conglomerates are targetting this new trend of lifestyle, thus they have launched new products which are much smaller than the existing version; a small meal kit, small sanitizer, so on. I admit that members of family make me happy at many times. However, nowadays, individualistic people want to be free and they can live a wonderful life with no people to mingle with, |
