do you agree or disagree with the following statement?

the extended family becomes less important nowadays than it was in the past?

A Chinese young writer has ever said that: "when I walk through firework in the festival, I feel extremely lonely, the happier the big family is, the more lonely I feel." we have to nod our heads in front the fact that many people are so bored about big family that they want to flee away from it. Extended family is fading away because many reasons.

First of all, civilians value individual rather than family in modern society. In the past, people take family first, even donate themselves to it, But now, personal capacity is more concerned. My grandfather had ever told me his own experience which shaked me a lot .He had an opportunity to have a very decent and well-paid job in PeiJing where is far from his hometown, but considering that he should take care of the whole family, he decided to stay. In contrast, his two daughters have been in America for 10 years ,never come back, because they weight their career heavier.

In addition, women are economic independent so they don't need to rely on the big family. 50 years ago, few woman received education, and extremely few women went to work although educated because the discrimination upon the female. However, in nowadays, when you walk in the streets, you can see woman working everywhere, some of them have a high status and great salary, and they own their own houses, cars, and social relationships. as this factor, the importance of the extended family is weaken.

Last but not the least, as the cities become increasingly crowd, the living condition worsen, so extended family is not available because there are few capacious apartment. If there is a family of 8 members, where to live will be the biggest problem. To solve this, big family have to be separated into small ones.

Also, we should commit that the Chinese tradition gradually disappears as the decrease of big family. So we are ought to precise the festivals on which day the family members can reunite together.

After all, the extended family becomes less important because the emphasis of individual, the independent of women, and the poor living condition in cities. Don't forget our family traditions in this individual-first society!
