What are the threats to the family unit in our society?

formation of nuclear families: Nowadays, more families are becoming nuclear which means there are one or two generations not living together and each partner( husband and wife) has equal power.This becomes a threat because there will be a loss of traditional values that results in familes not being close to each other.Youths will be more self-centered as their parents cannot spend enough time with them and they are usually alone at home.

Lack of communication: In modern society, it is natural to see both parents working for long hours.Teenagers are just as busy with their schoolwork and co-curriculum activities.Hence, family members have lesser time to bond with each other,for example, going out to have dinner together or window-shopping etc.There will be a lack of communication which is the main problem families are facing today.Media influence is one of the cause of lack of communication as well.

Financial difficulty and commitment: As the country develops further, people will become more affluent.However, with the rising affluence, the cost of living also increases such as electricity bills, price of vegetables and housing etc.These become a burden for working adults in the family as they have to pay for other expenses too such as their children's education, insurances and many more.Unbearable financial commitments of families can lead to misunderstadings.
