Nowadays, it is much easier to achieve success with help from one's family than what is like before.
On the way of one's success, his family can provide him with money, social networks and professional knowledges and techniques. Most parents are eager to help their off-springs in every possible way. However, with the development of technology and democracy, I believe it becomes harder and harder for parents to help gaining success of their children. And my reasons are listed as follows.
Nowadays, a more equal social structure makes it difficult for people of high social and political status to use their privilege. In the past, people were clear-cut by their social status: a businessman cannot marry an aristocratic heiress; only children with rich family can have higher education; the whole country is under control of a few inherited descendants of the former aristocracy or dutches. Thus, people who are at the top of the hierarchy can get whatever they want, yet those at the bottom never have chance to show their talent. However, living in an era which value democracy and equality, modern people are no longer confined by their backgrounds. To be more specific, anyone who is smart enough can enter Harvard or Oxford; a black person from a single family can be the president of the United States. In other words, modern society provide more opportunities for people who have competence and talent despite of their origin.
More importantly, with the spreading of the internet, the present generations have a low-cost access to show themselves to the public. Instead of finding a publicity agents, people now can easily promote themselves through internet. Considering the famous Chinese cartoonist Wang momo, she became famous overnight by publishing a set of funny chatting expressions on the internet. Likewise, many well-recognized designers and artists are selling their products in online shops like Esty and Taobao, where they first started their business with low capital. Therefore, the fast development of internet has made it possible for every individual to show his or her talent in a world-wide stage.
Admittedly, there still exist certain people who achieved success mostly with the help of their families. That is because with money supported by families, some people can study abroad at an early age, have a high position in his parents' company without competing with others, and even open his own company without worrying about the cost. More money and better social associations thereby does give certain people more chances than others in the way to success.
In sum, the help from parents can actually offer more opportunities for off-springs in all ages. Yet a more equal social structure and a more convenient promoting platform makes it much easier for modern people to achieve success without the help from families.
