As a child, I think that friends are one of the most important beings while living our daily lives. We communicate, relate, share ideas, rely on, and grow amongst them. However, friends are not made overnight. Deep friendship can only be built through hard work, enough time, and sincere behavior. Then, is it not good for families with children to move to a new town or country because the children lose their friends? In my opinion, I think that true relationships last forever. To put that into other words, moving to a new region or country does not affect a child's relationship with his/her friends. I have two supporting reasons.Children go to school, where they can make friends without sparing much time and effort. For some reason, I think that school is a microcosm of our society. We become friends with various kinds of people that have distinctive characteristics. For the sake of your understanding, I will give you an example. To liken human society to the wild, schools are like a zoo. Schools are similar to human society, but with teachers and restrictions. Why am I talking about schools? It’s because schools are the no.1 reason why families with children avoid moving to other countries or towns. When we think about living the social life, we don’t meet friends that are not close to us. However, we contact a friend that is truly close to one another. When we apply this to school relationships, it’s quite similar. Students encounter each other not because they are intimate to each other. Students encounter each other because they are forced to do so. On the other hand, when it comes to deep relationships, children contact each other of their own accord. This is why I said true relationships last forever, and this is why I think that moving to a new region or country does not affect a child's relationship with his/her friends.For several decades, internet communication service has developed with an accelerated rate. The 3rd industrial revolution and the invention of the smartphone enabled us to communicate with someone disregarding the time and place. As a result, we are now living in the era of ICT and Telecommunication devices that allows us to have virtual meetings and conversation just with a click of a mouse. Now “distance” has become an outdated excuse. In the context of this technological development, a child can meet his/her friends even if they are right at the antipodes. Just as a record, there is an effect called an antipode effect, that the radio field strength intensifies when two devices are right at the diametrical opposition in the globe. To put it simply, when each two devices are on the other side of the world, the signal between two devices gets clearer. It means that you can experience clear voice calls even if your friend is on the other side of the world!To sum up- People tend to assume that moving and child relationships go hand-in-hand, but in my opinion it’s rather mutually exclusive. Since the topic has been a bone of matter for roughly a century, nobody might know the correct answer. Nonetheless people will continue struggling for it- because it’s less about a formulated fact, but more about us humans, our next generation that will lead mankind’s future.
