With the quickening pace of society, increasing couples feel like to give birth to only one child. And many of them live with their son or daughter without the
child's grandpa, grandma or many other relatives, forming nuclear families. However, people's opinions diverge considerably on which is better between nuclear family
and extended family. As far as I am concerned, I am inclined to the view that extended family has more advantages than nuclear family.
Firstly, it exercises a favorable influence on the children's growth in future. Imagine that, if there is only a child in a family, all of the attention will
be put on him or her. And then he or she will regard it as a necessary way so that it has a huge possibility that the child will feel self-centered and be selfish when
he or she grows up. On the contrary, it is a beneficial method for parents to avoid this situation, living with a lot of relatives together. Because, in this way, there
will be other children living together, the child can realize that he or she isn't the only one to be loved and it is essential to get on well with others or
consider others when doing something. Moreover, not only does a extended family enable they to learn to be generous, ranging from relating well to others on life to other aspects, but also serves
as a catalyst for their studying and learning. This can be aptly exemplified and illustrated by the case of Yang Zhenning, who is a celebrated physics scientist
in the world and has got the Nobel Prize. Once he said," During my childhood, I lived with a huge family. And I always asked my uncle some physics problems. From that
time, my interest of physics was stimulated and encouraged."
Secondly, there is a popular consensus that people in extended family can undoubtedly help each other to overcome difficulties, setbacks and troubles readily due to everyone's
aggregated different knowledge, experience and expertise. Further lending credence to my position is an example of mine, when I graduated from high school. At that time,
I was faced with a choice whether to attend a remote university or not. Then, I asked my grandpa, who lived in my family and was a retired teacher, for advices. He told me
to have a try to study far away from home to let me learn to live alone. Now, when I remember this thing, I know that it was a correct choice at that time.
Admittedly, there are also merits of a nuclear family. For instance, the members can immune from many troubles of a extended family, such as some inevitable
quarrels with others on little things, and divergence when determining to do something. Nevertheless, the advantages of extended family outshadow those of nuclear family.
Thus, I reinforce my perspective that extended family is better than nuclear family. |
