Best Family

My country, Japan, has some population problem, which is a declining birth rate problem, because they want to spend anything for few people; however, this action can make a big problem. Usually, people have a pension, plan, then after 60 years old, we get money; however, if the next generation has a declining birth rate problem, we cannot get the pension. On the other hand, this problem makes another problem, too; we may lose the succession of culture. So, we must think about what is the best family; however, I think this question’s answer depends on people, because each person has different ideas based on opinions, economic power, or cultures. My opinion is that the ideal family has four people who respect personal opinions and do not misunderstand what is loving support and what is stifling control.

First, usually, people have different ideas about ideal number for a family; however, if we think about many problems, the best family is four people, because this number can keep good balance. In the world, the earth has 6.6 billion people. This number makes a lot of problems, which include pollutions, starvation, and changing environment. This number limits us. On the other hand, four members mean parents who are father and mother, and two children. This family structure means that if all parents make two children, the next generation will have the same number of people in the world. So if we will do this action, which is make same number, they will not have heavier problems. Four people in the family can keep the population, and we can think about fixing those problems; then, this family style is best.

Second, respect is important about in all relationships but it is especially important among members of a family. We have personality before family; however, normally, families have to live together. So, we need to think about how we can live together smoothly. The answer is that members should respect the other members, because if they respect the other members, of course, they try to avoid many problems. What’s more, they can have the feeling of I wanting to help the other members. This feeling can make a good family. No one hopes for their family’s misfortune, so we should make the best family with respect.

Third, of course, parents wish children would have happiness; therefore, parents must not misunderstand what is loving support and what is stifling control. Usually, parents want to control their children from parent’s experience. Almost always, this action is justified, because parents have more experience than children; however, children are living different lives. Fundamentally, parents and children live different lives; that means we can compare those experiences. If children have their opinion, parents should wonder why their children said such ideas. On the other hand, children have to listen to parents’ opinion carefully, because parents love them then they teach many things. By the way, I never became a parent, so I do not know parents’ thinking; therefore, I noted what children wish for parents in this paragraph. Parents need to teach everything to children. It is very important and children feel love; however, parents should think about children’s opinions and think carefully.

Some people may argue that we should have just one child and rear him or her very carefully; however, they are wrong, because they just think about their child. We must think about the future, because I think it is part of being human. The other animals think about how they can save their posterity; however human is not same because human have reason. If we think just about our children, it is the same as the other animals. We must think about society, because only we can do that.

In conclusion, family is very a heavy thing; however, it is very fragile. Actually, many families have problems. We should try to make the best family. And we should not forget our lives, the next generation, or our reason. The best family is four people who can respect each other, and parents who can think about children’s opinion. If we try to make that family style, we can make the best family and the best world too; in addition, this action can help our posterity.
