It is believed that there is an abrupt change in the life style of people in almost in every domain, be it communication, travel, health and psychology. Consequently, the lifestyle is influencing the relationships of family in both positive and negative manner. In my opinion, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages of life style on family relationships.

On the one hand, the life style changes are primarily seen in both communication and travel. Firstly, the technology improved the communication between family members and one can reach out their immediate family and other relatives in matter of seconds over internet and mobile phone. For example, people living abroad away from their parents can stay in touch almost every day with the help of audio and video calling facilities of mobile phones. Secondly, the people can travel to any remote part of the world using various modes of transportation such as improved road, rail and air facilities. Presently, anybody can reach any place in few days, unlike few months earlier. In turn, this helps in maintaining healthy relationships between family members as they can be physically and mentally available to others.

On the other hand, families are adopting unhealthy practices both physically and psychologically. This is mostly due to the changing life style choices accessible for people. For instance, people are increasingly dependent on fast food, which is causing conflicts between elder and younger family members as there is a disagreement over what is healthy and what unhealthy. Further, the present generation is hurrying to reach the financial stability early in their career. With the availability of home and car loans in a quicker way, they are buying houses and cars in a hurried manner. However , this is putting lots of financial burden on their shoulders and there is always a risk of not re-paying the loan if the job is lost. Elders of family are against this tendency as this would put the younger generation under tremendous stress and pressure.

To conclude, it can be seen clearly that the plus points of increased family relationships is seen with the positive changes in communication and travel. Also, people can choose to abandon the junk food as well as their bad financial practices, which is under their control.

It is widely believed that familial bond can be affected by fast alteration of trends and practices in life. Although, there are consequences that may arise, it still has a positive impact on the family. This essay will discuss how the benefits of the developing life customs overshadows its detriments to family relationships.

On the one hand, usage of technology as one of the lifestyle shift of the society entails a negative effect on the family. It sometimes acts as a barrier in order for a family to interact personally. For example, it is common nowadays to see families dine together while holding gadgets in their hands, unknowingly compromising the essence of table etiquette and communication. As a result, parents become unaware of children’s psychological and social standpoint which jeopardize familial ties.

On the other hand, family tours and movie dates are ways of living that vitalize kindred’s connections. At present, international and domestic tours have become popular and by this, families encounter different cultures and experience real life adventures that strengthens their attachment to each other. Also, watching TV shows and movies at home as a family provides guidance and promotes proper values and behavior in facing challenges and realities of life. For this reason, each family member feel a sense of belonging, thereby sustaining the bond of the family.

To sum up, the speedy transformation of the way of living of the community remarkably influence family rapport. I believe that the edges of these lifestyle changes outstrip its negative effect on the relationship of a family.
