With the economical development of countries, social scenarios are also rapidly changing. To what extent economical growth of a country effects life styles and personal lives of its citizens has become visible through this rapid conversion. The most drastic change has been witnessed among youngsters who are now more money minded, self centered and career oriented that the concept of companionship is merely a theoretical concept or a social obligation for majority of the youth. In the race of being independent, the qualities like trust, faith, affection and loyalty have been lost somewhere. In the highly developed countries like United States, the youth has become so habitual of liberal life styles that over 40% of men and women are not interested in getting married while 20% want to avoid bounds and responsibilities associated with relationships like marriage. The culture of live in relationships has only fueled up this fashion and simultaneously lack of toleration is resulting into the rising divorce rate in the country.
The subject of rising divorce rates and lack of interest in commitment has attracted attention of psychologists, social workers and general public to review upon the seriousness of the problem. Brain storming over the reasons Martha Higgins, a psychiatrist is of the opinion that due to the freedom since childhood and tight professional schedules of today lead to lack of interest in relationships. Dheeraj Bojwani complaints that in this race of staying ahead in competition at every step, life makes the person so rigid that soft feeling like love and affection transform into momentary emotional needs. Further in the same context Dheeraj Bojwani complaints that the rising costs of living has turned every human being into money making machine and in such circumstances the marriage is perceived as another means of just adding up the weight for another individual.
The excerpts of several opinions advanced over web indicate to the reluctance of youth towards adding responsibilities. In this wake as per views of Martha and Dheeraj Bojwani complaints over expensive life styles and liberty in the form of financial independence clearly point towards the impact of economical development upon social scenarios. United States being a highly developed country has accepted this fashion but in some other developing countries, the trend is truly big reason to worry. Countries where marriage is just viewed as a social obligation and the foundation of a happy life, this modern mindset of youth is being observed as a major social imbalance.
