In some countries today, more and more people, especially many young men and women, begin to live on their own without any help from their parents.
I think there are three reasons for this. Firstly, young people want to know more about the society without any strict regulations from their parents. As a result, they can make decisions for themselves, such as whether they would take part in social activities, or which type of clothes to buy. Secondly, telecommunication has become possible for them to keep in touch with their family and friends without meeting face to face. They can send an email to them to tell them whatever they want, or they may have a video chat with their family on the internet and see each other. Finally, there are more job opportunities waiting for them so that they can make a living by their hands. With their own salary, they can rent flats or buy laptops without their parents’ permission. They can live with more freedom.
Personally, I think there are some advantages for people to live on their own. They can obtain more living experience so that they can become more socialised than those living with their family. Perhaps they can make more friends by living on their own. Furthermore, if they are frustrated by failure, they might revalue themselves and try to improve themselves again.
However, one thing must be pointed out is that the generation gap [maybe widen] / [maybe wider than before] if people live on their own because they might not have much time to communicate with their family. I hope both families and young people can take action to combat this situation to improve the family bonds.
