Some people says that it is not important that family have a meal togather these days because they experience the lack of the time due to busy life. However, I disagree with this opinion because a few reasons.
First of all, It is undoubtable that having a meal togather is very helpful to keep the relationship among the menber of family. In these days, people expose quick changed environment so that it is difficult for them to communicate with family. If they have time for a meal togather, they can share their current concerns and take an answer by talking to each other. When I was a high school student, I had a huge concern in terms of which college I had to go. Because I spent most time in the school, it was so hard to talk about my worrying with my parents, even to see the face of each other. Having a breakfirst togather with my father, I could share my problem with him. His good advise allowed me make a good decision. After that case, I used to talk to my father whenever I need to make a decison upon a problem which I meet.
Secondly, having a meal togather can help to save a money to make foods. If each member of family has a meal seperately, foods for each member may require more money. For example, because preference of people is very diversited, even though they are family, they should cook foods which each member likes. But, if they have a meal simultaneously, they can make one food for every member of family. Nowadays, family is likely to have many parts which they have to plan such as education for children and insurance . Moreover, they may concede their preference for other members. In side of education, it can be a good chance that children can learn concession and respect toward others' opinions.
In conclusion, I disagree with that it is not important that family have a meal togather. When it comes to keeping relationship among family member and saving a money, having a meal with family is one of the good and important ways. |
