There is an increasing trend for people to live alone. What is causing this to happen? Will it have a negative or a positive impact on the society?

Nowadays, many people are spending their life by settling alone. There are numerous reasons for this, this trend of living alone can have positive as well as negative influence on the society. In this essay, I will examine causes as well as pros and cons of this issue.

Majority of people are in favor of living alone, due to number of reasons. Firstly, nowadays, there are lot of financial issues due to which everyone prefers to live their life independently. Furthermore, most of people are very much busy in their work, therefore, they want relaxation at home and do rest without any noise, which is not possible to achieve when living with more family members. The other rising issue is, every human has its own nature and different lifestyle due to which conflict can arise in house.

As far as positives and negatives are concerned, on the positive side, society can become free from crimes, hunger, poverty etc. As everyone will spend money according to their will. Along with this, all of people would feel responsibility and perform their work sincerely, as they know, no one will earn for them.

Apart from this, on the negative side, people cannot share their good times and bad times with their loving ones. For suppose, If a person is living alone, and he fell ill, then he can suffer more as no one is close to him. In addition, isolation can be created between siblings, by living apart. Another factor is, if everyone will live alone, then accommodation would be less for other families in the crowded cities.


To sum up, I tend to believe that, people can live alone if they do not feel comfortable, but they should in affection with their loved ones, which can be beneficial for the individuals as well as for society.
