In modern times, communication with others becomes more convenient owing to the use of Internet and technologies. We can call some customer using cell phone; we can email our boss on the Internet; or we can send some short messages to old friends. However, it seems that we have less communication with extended family. Therefore some people agrue that the extended family seems less important for us than before. Though I think we have less communication with them than with others, I disagree the title statement.
Relatives are the people who have the same descent with us. So they are more reliable than others. In moden times, people seem to be more concerned with the benefits. When everything around you is in good condition, other people would contact with you often. However, if you are faced some serious difficulties, some people around maybe don't want to help you and just do their own things. Relatives don't disturb your daily lives in common, but they can give one hand to you when you are in plight. Just think about one phenomenon. When the parents of the child are passed away, the child would be adopted by relatives. If you think the relatives are not important, who do you think will take care the child?
Another important aspect of relatives is that there are less extended family with the time elapsing. In China, since the policy of family planning was implenmented, there were less childen one family have. As a result, in the future, perhaps there are little relatives for one person. As we know, the less objects are, the more important they are. Therefore, it should be true that the extended family would be more important.
As the offsprings of same ancestry, we have the same culture and custom with our relatives. Evidently, our culture now is facing serious chanllenges. More and more extra culture begin to spread among youth. The role of culture preseveing should be taken by all of our relatives. Compared to the past, the culture of today is more fragile when facing other extra culture. Thus, in this aspect, the relatives of us become more important than the past.
Of course, sometimes the extended family becomes less important. Most of us contact with them less than the past. However, although there are some uselessness of relatives, they are more important in our later lives. So I assert that the extended family would not be less important. Instead, they would be more important in the future.
