Would you rather find a partner than go to your relatives? Scholars talked about breaking off relati

Mondo Social Updated on 2024-02-18

The Spring Festival, a traditional festival that symbolizes reunion and festivities, has emerged in recent years as a new social phenomenon: young people would rather find a "partner" to spend the festival with than visit relatives. This phenomenon has aroused widespread attention and heated discussions, and many scholars have conducted in-depth analysis of it from the perspective of sociology.

The term "hitchhiking" originated from the network and refers to a partnership formed as a result of a common interest or activity. Different from the traditional sense of kinship, the relationship is more free and equal, without the constraints of blood and generation. The rise of this relationship reflects to a certain extent the new needs and attitudes of young people towards interpersonal communication.

In the view of scholars, young people's choice to break off their relatives is not simply abandoning the traditional concept of family and kinship, but a manifestation of the awakening of individual consciousness. With the rapid development of society and cultural diversity, young people are paying more and more attention to personal independence and autonomy, and they are more willing to choose social partners according to their own preferences and needs, rather than being bound by traditional family structures and kinship relationships.

This phenomenon of severing relatives can also be seen as a kind of progress in the liberation of people from their families and clans. In traditional societies, the fate of the individual is often closely linked to the family and clan, and the individual's choice and freedom are greatly restricted. However, in modern society, with the improvement of individual rights consciousness and the prominence of individual value, people are increasingly pursuing personal freedom and independence, and the phenomenon of severance is a manifestation of this pursuit.

Of course, the phenomenon of disconnection does not mean that young people have completely severed their ties with tradition. At special moments such as the Spring Festival, young people will still feel the warmth of family and the bond of family affection. They may choose to celebrate with their partner, but they will also keep in touch with their families in a variety of ways to show love and blessings.

For society, the phenomenon of young people severing their relatives is also a challenge and an opportunity. On the one hand, it requires us to re-examine the traditional concept of family and kinship, and think about how to give them new connotations and values in modern society. On the other hand, it also provides us with new perspectives and reflections on how to better meet the social needs of young people and build a more inclusive and equal social environment.

The phenomenon of preferring to find a partner rather than relatives is a microcosm of contemporary social change. It reflects young people's pursuit of individual consciousness and freedom, and also challenges our traditional perceptions of family and kinship. In the face of this phenomenon, we should maintain an open and inclusive attitude, not only respect the choices of young people, but also strive to build a model of interpersonal communication that is more suitable for the development of modern society.
