The traditional family is no longer necessary for the society's effectiveness.

In a society that is getting more and more efficient and advanced, things that cannot keep up with it are often left behind and forgotten. It is the same whether for people or old technology, I believe that the values of traditional family will also face the same fate.

As time changes, the methods of teaching and moral values must also change with it. The traditional family will only produce traditional children which are less equipped and less "useful" for the society where everybody is expected to contribute more in a shorter time. The traditional family is therfore, not favourable and necessary for the efficient society we have today.

The society now teaches children to take shortcuts, multitask so as to achieve a greater efficiency, whereas the traditional family teaches children to focus on one thing at a time and to do things step by step. The difference between the two teaching styles and values are simply too big for them to exist together at the same time. Only one can stay, while the other has to go. Now, what the world needs, is people who can produce results in the shortest period of time, these are the people who can contribute the most to the society today. In order for them to be so efficient, they need to be educated in a way other than the traditional method. Therfore, the traditional family is not needed for the society that we have today
