why people spend more time on work than on their family. TOPIC: More and more people are busy with work and do not have enough time to spend with their families and friends. Why does it happen? What are the effects on the family and society as a whole? In modern society, people tend to use all their time for work rather than keep in touch with their families and friends. This issue has become popular because of various reasons such as the development of materialism and the indifference to familiars, so it brings not only the negative effects on the family, but also the harmful impacts on the society. There are several reasons that explain why people prefer to work than meet their families and friends. One of the main reasons is the increasing dramatically of materialism. Nowadays, people have a tendency to consider material possessions and physical comfort as more important than spiritual values. As a result, money and position are played as a main role in many people's life, so they decide to work as much as they can to earn money and promote in their job, which means that they do not have enough time to pay for families and friends. The second reason is that people become indifference to something that they think it has already belonged to them, particularly their family. Hence, they just want to pursue a career and do not concern about their family members. However, everything can be lost although that is our parents, and people just realize something which is important with them until they lost it. Those reasons create some serious effects on both family and society.
