It is hotly debated whether the family is the most important infuence on young adults or friends are the most important influence on young adults. In my personal view of point, I consider that young adults are influenced much more from their frineds than from their families all over the world today. The following can give more detailed explanation to my opinion.
Firstly, young adults’ behavior are much more influenced by their friends. We see that young adults have more similar views with their friends than their family memebers, expecially their parents. According to a commerical research about young adults’ behaviors world wide recently, it examinates that young adults of different countries share so much similarities. For example, Japanese youngsters wear jeans and T-shirts in white, blue or black like youngsters in any country of Europe or North America. However, their family members do exclude such casual clothes. Therefore, youngsters get much infulence from their friends instead of from their family.
Secondly, young adults most likely communicate with their friends and learn ken or experience from their friends. Youngsters are keen to take part in varieties of groups, clubs or other activites. They interchange opinions or value about the world, people, life and so on, which would lead them to keep pace with their group and get fresh ideas and broad views. For instance, they develop their specific languages in e-world, which their parents totally can not understand.
Admittely, young adults get a lot of influence from their familes in the process of growing up. But the influence just includes some trifling issues, such as food favor. It can not compare with the influcence from friends in contents and degrees. Based on the above reasons, we can safely get such conclusion that young adults get more important influence from their friends world wide today. |
