Nowadays, culture has shifted significantly, just as Eugenia points out. We’re witnessing changes across different areas—socially, emotionally, and within families. These shifts are especially noticeable to older generations. The world we live in today is very different from what it used to be.
It’s true that families no longer gather to share meals like they once did. Everyone has their own schedule, always busy, and because of that, important values and respect for parents and family traditions are being lost. In the past, families ate the same meal together and stayed at the table until everyone was finished. Today, people hardly even make time to sit and have a coffee together.
As for romantic relationships, they used to move at a much slower pace, just like Eugenia mentioned. Now, we see young kids in relationships, and while we can’t judge whether that’s right or wrong, it’s clear they’re skipping over a meaningful part of life—childhood. On top of that, there are no clear rules about when to come home or go out. Some don’t even show basic respect to their parents, calling them by their first names as if they were friends. If that’s how they treat their own parents, imagine how they treat others.
