It is generally acknowledged that families now are not as close as they used to be. What are some possible reasons for this and what can be done to reverse the trend?

答案
With the ever-increasing pace of modern life, the bonds within families have suffered dramatically in recent decades. There are many ways in which this could have occured, and it is high time that people should be aware of it and actually do something to minimise the side effects on their own families.
The primary factor leading to the significant reduction of family closeness, I believe, is the intrusion of technology into family life. In the past, there were much fewer technological diversions in daily lives. For example, people did not have computers to play with or cell phones to chat on; instead they communicated with each other in person, and the more they communicated, the closer they might have become. Conversely, parents and children nowadays are constantly using different kinds of communication tools, with which they have sacrificed their limited time at home to work on building up relationships with people they barely meet in real life on social networking websites. Although they do spend some time together, they may just rush through things so that they can get back to their technological products. Obviously, this will reduce a large amount of quality family time.
Additionally, more and more working parents tend to spend the majority of their time in the office or even work overtime at home, as they want to ensure an advantageous position in the face of stiff competition. Consequently, they have little time to be with their children, which may easily result in an increasing sense of alienation in the family. A similar case happens to children who are often sent to boarding schools and return home once a week, or even a month due to many working parents not having enough time to look after their children after school.
To solve this problem, I think, a crucial factor is to ensure families spend sufficient time together and enhance communication between their members. For instance, parents should set a good example by cutting down the time spent on technological devices at home, such as placing restrictions on internet usage and finding more chances to regularly talk to their children. A very good way for family members to have more quality time together is to find or create an activity or a game that all members will take part in and do that once every week as a family tradition, or parents and children could also choose a special day every month as their family day, so they could secure a moment to visit museums or have a picnic somewhere in the park. More importantly, parents should always remember that they are working for a better life with their families, not living to work, and as for children, some more traditional values about family closeness should be imparted to them whether at home or school so as to help them shape a correct attitude towards family.
Overall, I believe that great efforts from both parents and children are necessary to reverse the trend.
