INTRODUCTION
Some people choose to live in
one community all their lives, while others
choose a nomadic lifestyle. In this essay,
staying and moving will be
compared in terms of family and cultural stability and in terms of
worldviews. (38 words)
BODY
First of all, living in one place ensures a well-established and stable family
structure. For instance, the family circle provides
a source of self-identity
and becomes a safe haven in times of trouble. In addition, households
consisting of three or even four generations
living together are known to
produce emotionally stable citizens, and they also look after traditional
customs and skills.
In
contrast, nomads leave family and friends behind and have to establish
new relationships at every new place. Unfamiliar neighborhoods, schools,
workplaces,
churches, cultures, customs, climates, and so on may be
stressful, especially in the lives of children and teenagers.
Second, people with limited exposure to
other communities may become
stagnated and narrow-minded and find it difficult to understand the cultural,
racial, ethnic, or religious backgrounds found in other communities.
On the other hand, moving to a new environment enables you and your family
to come into contact with and appreciate new ideas, customs, and traditions.
This develops a wide range (variety) of worldviews from which to choose
the one most preferred. As the saying goes, “Variety is the spice of life.”

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, it has to be said that both lifestyles
have advantages and
disadvantages in terms of family structures and worldviews. People differ,
and therefore there will always be those who choose one or the other. (36
