For generations, the family plays a vital role in developing, nurturing, supporting, disciplining and procreating the society's future generation. Since the very day we were born, our family, the people closest to us has been showering us with their utmost love and concern. Hence, we developed close ties with these people and as we grow, we look up at them as role model, mimicking their actions and behavior and unknowingly these behaviors we learnt eventually become who we are and how we will actually contribute to the society. Thus, i agree that the family plays a critical role in our society and in the training of the generations to come. However, with the recent advances in technology, we become more exposed to the world around us through the internet and mass media and thus, today, these sources too hold important roles in the training of the future generations in our society.

Nowadays, children spend up to twelve hours a day away from home or attending school. The time they spend in school interacting with their peers and teachers far exceed the time they spend at home with their family members. Therefore their friends and teachers become important part of their lives. Children go through a huge phrase of their lives in school -- from learning basic moral values through civics lessons to training how to be a better friend or person through peer interaction during the preparation of class projects. Thus, the educational programs prepared for the students will have an great impact on developing and training the individual and the future generations to come.

In today's Singapore, the authority indicated that 74% of households own computers at home and a large population own other electronic medias like the television. Hence, under the heavy influence of the media, we are digesting alot of information be it good or bad from such sources we are in contact with and they do play an important role in shaping and training a generation and the way they think.

In conclusion, as asian society, the people here still have very strong ties with their family and no matter what happens to us, ultimately, we will still return to our family for support and advice. Morever, the government implimentation of the 5 days week to promote family bonding also show that in our society, the government and people believe that the parents should spend more nurturing their children. Thus, this shows that the family do indeed plays a critical role in our society and in the training of the generation to come.
