People today know fewer of their neighbors than in the past. Why is this? What can be done to solve this problem?

The probability of people knowing their neighbour is far less now than in the past.

This

trend is mainly due to long working hours and depending on technology.

However

, there are a number of measures that can be implemented to resolve

this

issue. One of the reasons for realizing limited society members is due to the increase in the amount of office work especially in urban areas. Because of the high competition in the consumer market each and every company wants to deliver product on

time

, which resulted in a drastic increase in effort and

time

required for any employee. Breadwinners has to put in more effort and additional hours to finish tasks within the given

time

period, due to which employees spend less

time

with their friends and family.

In addition

to that, the advancement in technology caused most of the public to communicate via text message or over the phone rather than meeting in person which in turn lead to reduced face

time

with each other.

This

can be resolved using a number of ways so that improvement in knowing each other in the neighbourhood increases.

Firstly

, governments and corporate bodies should reduce the working hours of its employees at all levels and adopt flexible working hours so that office workers get more

time

to mingle with other fellow colleagues as well with friends, families and

Secondly

, community centres should be built and community members should be invited to conduct social meetings to meet and greet each other face to face so that the communication as well as the sense of bonding between neighbours can be made strong. I concede that
