Thesis Statement
Nowadays, it is more common practice to have close
family
to rely on rather than
relatives
. In this essay,
I am going to discuss
the salient features or
advantages
of having a small
family
to ask for help or advice. Moreover, I will focus on integrity or support you can receive as one son or daughter.
First thing first, the main and salient reason for having
small
family
, rather than
rely
on
relatives
you may have never seen is safety and comfort, for example, if the state of
economy
had a massive impact on society to have as many children as you can have, whereas time has changed and due to the economic reasons mostly, the practice of having many children is not as common as it used to be 50 years ago.
So, due to the reason stated above,
family
that consists of three members is more likely to achieve the balance and support inside of
family
by means of communication and trust, which is, of
course
the one and main
advantage
.
Furthemore
, the close
family
is intended to be the source of love and care.
Secondly, the
advantages
of having a few members in modern society include having less responsibility for other
relatives
that may not be
someone`s
primary goal. In addition, only your parents will assist you in special events of your life, not the third or second cousin. As a result, as we all have
certain
vision of
future
, it cannot be a concern of our
relatives
. It can only depend on the people
that
brought you into this life, your parents.
All in all, there are disadvantages and
advantages
of having
nuclear
family
but there were more
advantages
, stated previously.
