   Do you think that the woman who is over 35, but doesn’t get marry is not acceptable to your thinking? If you do, you are not a person who lives in modern time. As our nation and around the world change our life style, furthermore a lot of people live alone or with small family. Why these things happen? The reasons are people are more independent gradually, modern people are selfish, and family’s importance decreases in every person’s life.

 First, recently people are more concentrated in their self. We don’t want to lean another person because we think we can do a lot of things without any other helps. For example, in these days some people especially women don’t want to get marry because they don’t need to receive advices or helps. So they want to leave a cool single.

 Second, people are more selfish than ever. People recently don’t care of other people and we just only think about ourselves. We don’t want to know other’s feelings and even if we have known other people’s suffering, we rarely share our mind. Therefore, people don’t want to love other even their parents and people want to leave alone gradually.

 Third, nowadays the portion of our family significance decreases in our life. In the past most of all people always discuss the problems that they are faced with in their daily life with their parents. Furthermore even when we decide to marry, we always share the issue with our family. But in these days, we often share them with other people such as friends. Even when we think about our marriage, some people don’t care family’s thinking. So former example in our living, family’s importance is dimmished, people live alone or with small family.

And then, as we gradually live alone or with small family, what happen in our society? First of all, the birth rate in our world is dimmished. As people who what to love cool single increase, the birth rate decrease. As time goes by, the children who get admission to elementary school are decrease. It this situation just keep on going, we can have a lot of problem.

The most significant problem is that we may increase a lot of burdens because of financial problem for older people. As the people who live alone increase, the proportion of older is much bigger. So society has to support them using money through pension. Then we have lot of burden about that because we pay them together.
