Some people think that parents should teach their children how to be good members of society. Others, however, believe that school is the best place to learn this. Discuss both views and give your own opinion

Nowadays the way many people interact with each other has changed 
because of technology. In what ways has technology affected the types 
of relationships people make? Is this a positive or negative 
development?
In recent years, advancements in technology have changed how people 
connect with each other. This has turned people into making much more 
friends but has also reduced the depth of those relationships. In my 
opinion, this is a harmful change due to the fact that it makes human less 
able to communicate their personal feelings. 
T
echnology’s influence has enabled people to make much more friends 
than they possibly could in the past. This is largely owing to social media, 
which revolutionizes communication and helps people to keep touch with 
each other regardless of their geographical locations. Another change in 
human relationships caused by modern technology is that the number of 
intimate relationships made has been substantially less significant. With 
so many people to care about, social media deters users from 
strengthening bonds. For instance, a stark difference can be observed in 
Vietnam, where most young adults 20 years ago 
–
when the internet was 
underdeveloped, had much deeper connections than their modern 
counterparts. 
The changes made to the types of relationships people make nowadays is 
largely a disadvantageous one, for it deters people from having deep 
connections. Lacking valuable bonds means that they have almost no one 
to confide during depressive episodes that are inevitable for most humans, 
and thereby increase the possibility of making unwise decisions. Examples

of this can be found all over the world, where the cases of depression that 
cause suicidal behaviors are becoming more and more common, and one 
of the primary contributing factors is victims having no one to share their 
burdens with.
In conclusion, despite having much more ability to connect, people are 
making less meaningful relationships; thus, the quality of relationships 
diminishes and harms their wellbeing.
