Introduction
It is true that unprecedented evolvements in family ties are predominantly prompted by shifting way of living. Although skeptics are vocal that this may end up in tears, I would argue that its benefits are far and wide.

Body paragraph 1
On the one hand, it is absurd to argue that there is no any justifications for more closely-knit family structures and connections. With gig economy burgeoning, more people ditched traditional 9-to-5 roles and embraced flexible jobs, ranging from Uber to online coding, potentially paving the way for more quality time with loved ones. Such flexibility is also observed in dominance of virtual tools; widespread use of quick-delivery apps bridge the gap for families whose members are geographically distant due to work or study, while prevalence of personal social media allows loved ones to be updated about each other’s daily encounters. These scenarios suggest how virtual communication makes indispensable contributions to enhanced family support.

一方面，认为没有任何理由支持更紧密的家庭结构和关系是荒谬的。随着零工经济的蓬勃发展，越来越多的人放弃了传统的朝九晚五的工作，接受了从优步到在线编程等各种灵活的工作，这可能为他们与亲人共度更多美好时光铺平了道路。这种灵活性也体现在虚拟工具的主导地位上；快速配送应用的广泛使用弥合了因工作或学习而地理位置遥远的家庭成员之间的差距，而个人社交媒体的流行使亲人之间的日常相遇得以更新。这些场景表明虚拟通信如何对增强家庭支持做出不可或缺的贡献。

Body paragraph 2
However, skepticism over altered family patterns mainly revolve around a decline of traditional nuclear family. Rising unemployment, coupled with financial concerns, have impelled some young adults to delay their marriages and baby plans into late 30’s or early 40’s, with many others opting out of parenthood. Apart from fewer marriages, tumbling shared time in real life is another concern. Beset by various virtual entertainments, parents and children suffer mental detachment, even if living under the same roof. Without such mutual attachment, it is worried that aging population—partly thanks to longer life span—means that intergenerational diversity could widen.

然而，对改变家庭模式的怀疑主要围绕着传统核心家庭的衰落。不断上升的失业率，再加上经济上的担忧，迫使一些年轻人将结婚和生孩子的计划推迟到30多岁或40多岁，还有许多人选择不做父母。除了婚姻的减少，现实生活中共享时间的减少是另一个问题。被各种虚拟娱乐所困扰，即使生活在同一屋檐下，父母和孩子也会遭受精神上的疏离。缺乏双向的依恋感，有人担忧老龄化人口—部分得益于更长的寿命—会预示着代际差异会程度加大。

Conclusion
In my view, the ultimate goal for shifting one’s lifestyle is pursuit of happiness, where family relationship is a cornerstone; revolutionized way of living should never be made a scapegoat for our incompetence of striking a balance between what we want and what we need.
