I Love My Family

Family is the most important elements that make up the society and community of the humanism. A nuclear family usually consists of parents and children only, while extended family is a larger of family that includes grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles. With the technological era that we are undergoing, is the extended family is less important than it was in the past? I decisively disagree that the norm of our society contemporary have left behind the significance of extended family than it was in the past due to the reasons that they depend on each other because of the high living cost and increase in the human population had limit the available houses which force them to be together.

      First of all, the high living cost that we are experiencing have made the extended family more important than it was in the past. The high living cost and unstable economical condition have made we as a family dependent on each other to ensure our survival and living. This reliable relationship has put the extended family such as grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles to play a significant role compared to the past where the living cost was literally low and we can live without the extended family. With extended family, we can rely on each other to support our living and therefore, strengthen the bonding between the family members.

      Moreover, the increase in human population had limit the available houses and land for us to occupied. This obstruction has force the extended family to play an important role by allowing us to stay in the same house as the extended family. House sharing have given us the opportunity to have a comfortable and convenient living. For instance, no one would want to have a life having to stay under the bridge because there are no houses available. Therefore, extended family is more important nowadays compared to the past where they are a lot of houses and land for us to occupied.

    In a nutshell, extended family plays a significant role more than it was in the past. There are a lot of factors that affect the significance of extended family. Increasing of living cost have and limited houses have brought extended family to a significant point in this technological advancement era
