In many countries today people,in cities either live alone or in small family units,rather than in large extended family groups.Is this a positive or a negative trend ?

In the modern era, people from several nations have adopted to reside in solitude or very restricted family units,

instead

of big, nuclear family groups.

This

essay will argue on both the positions and state if it is perceived as a good or bad trend with examples.

Firstly

, it is witnessed around the globe that people are inclined to prefer living as single or as a small family unit. The reason

this

trend is increasingly observed these days is, because of the fact that people prefer increase private

time

and it becomes difficult to squeeze

this

time

when more number of people are around all the

time

.

For example

, in the UK, where a majority of residents live in one small home, are shifting to single apartments or studio flat where they have ample

time

to commit themselves for private space without any hindrance.The argument for

this

position is

thus

clear. Contrary to

this

, there are individuals who adhere to live with their whole family in a single residence. People with

this

mindset are usually more social and for them family

time

is more important than their own personal

time

.

For instance

, in South Asia, the majority of the population find themselves comfortable living together in the same house due to strong cultural influence and history. The reason for

this

preference are well explained in

this

paragraph.

Thus

, in light of these arguments

,

Accept space

,

I believe living together in a same house is beneficial over residing alone in separate apartment or house because, in case of getting ill or in an emergency, there is always someone nearby to respond to you immediately and quick measures can be taken on

time

.
