Just how useful and relevant do people in today’s constantly evolving society perceive the family life to be? Granted, with the onset of globalisation and the world advancing at such shocking rapidity, there could be a possibility that the family today is not as close knit as before. However, to say that the family has outlived its usefulness is being presumptuous, and in my honest opinion, this statement is flawed, as I believe that the family is still relevant in today’s society.
As we pause and survey the situation around us, it is indubitable that a very many people nowadays view marriage to be unnecessary and sometimes even troublesome. The blind pursuit of wealth stemming from the high levels of education attained by people is becoming ubiquitous. Their lives are dictated by the desire to excel in their careers, so they choose to focus more on their careers and less on setting up families. Furthermore, as women rise the ranks in the corporate world, they are more financially able to provide for themselves, and this independence has led them to believe that setting up a family is no longer relevant.
