In some parts of the world it is increasingly popular to research the history of one's
own family. Why do people want to do this? Is it a positive or negative development?

Sample:
In some parts of the world it is becoming popular to research the history of ones own
family. Why might people want to do this? Is it a positive or negative development?
Exploring ones family background and history is becoming increasingly popular in
numerous countries around the world. In my opinion, through research and knowing
more about ones family, people can see common trends passed through generations
which can only be seen as beneficial for peoples future.
Firstly, some people look into their family history in order to discover any common
trends with family members of a previous generation. This can be especially so with
people who have particular skills, gifts or interests in uncommon fields. In other
words, as some gifts and skills are hereditary, it can be interesting for people to learn
how many others in their family shared these talents from previous generations.
Another reason for the popularity of finding out about ones family history is often
due to general curiosity of ones geographical origins. That is to say, some families
moved abroad, away from their own country, generations ago which resulted in them

losing their original culture and adopting the culture of the country they moved to.
Therefore, through research, people can learn more about their country of origin and
understand more about the culture that their family originally came from.
Finally, the trend of researching family history is certainly beneficial and can help
people find their place in the world. Some people feel a lack of direction in life or are
dislocated from others but by learning more about their past family history, it can help
them relate to the world and feel more comfortable about who they are. Take, for
example, a person who feels nervous about making a certain choice in life, they may
feel comforted by knowing that others in their family made the same choice many
generations ago.
In conclusion, it can be advantageous for people to learn more about the familys
background and origins. It would be useful for children to learn about their own
family history, if this was incorporated into the school curriculum.
