Blog 9: Family Transformation

During the technological advancement, many things changed especially the family. The family in this period, which was the simplest unit in society consisting of parents rearing their children, had modernized and had not kept the importance of their relationship with each other.First, instead of eating together in dining room and talking, they relocated and ate at the living room on the T.V. tray. Together with the new member, the T.V., who was only the one, kept on talking while they were just listening. Next, the family members were having a hard time to open up about certain issues. This was because there were hindrances to catch the attention of the family members like the watching of T. V., surfing on internet and playing online games on computer. They did not want to be disturbed in their "own business". Another thing, children did not have bonding moment with their parents because the children were already addicted on online games and all of the stuffs on internet. The children almost did not move away in front of computer or laptop. Sometimes the kids forgot the time, realizing that they were not able to eat on time. The worst thing, the family members got in trouble with each other, their relationship was slowly ruined. Like, the children tend to forget to prioritize study because of the computer games so their parents kept on arguing and scolding them, but the kids ignored it. With this kind of action, children started to disrespect their parents.
