In general, people do not have such a close relationship with their neighbours as they did in the past. Why is this so, and what can be done to improve contact between neighbours?

In recent days, people are more isolated than ever and they don't spend much
time
with their
neighbors
a person who lives (or is located) near another
neighbours
. Television, busy work life and the Internet are the primary reasons.
This
essay will discuss these issues in detail and what can be done to resolve them.
Firstly
, with the advancement in Television and Entertainment media, people
are addicted
Suggestion
is addicted
to tv shows and tend to spend their free
time
sitting idle watching those programs. In the olden days, TV screens were small and had very few shows. There has been a development in display technologies, cameras and video editing software. All these, combined with the interesting ideas from people around the world through the Internet have contributed to obsessive tv shows
thus
enslaving the viewers to screen.
Secondly
, the busy work culture in a corporate environment is another reason for people to not mingle with each other. Competition between corporations has caused a tight deadline for deliveries and employees have to work harder and extended hours to meet their targets. After a long day, people are exhausted and just want to take rest, they have far less
time
for social activities.
Finally
, the Internet has played a major role
by
Suggestion
in
connecting people virtually through various social media sites.
Besides
, the Internet has enabled people to get the things that they need on their doorstep without leaving the house. Though convenient at times,
this
has made many people lazy. All these factors have made people couch potato, watching videos without mingling with people. Resolving
this
is hard, as it is caused by multiple factors. People themselves have to realize and change their
behavior
manner of acting or controlling yourself
behaviour
. The Government has to play a part in the role as well.
Firstly
, the Government can spend a portion of the fund in constructing playgrounds, tennis courts, etc.
for
Suggestion
For
outdoor activities to encourage people to take part in outdoor activities.
This
will result in
neighbors
a person who lives (or is located) near another
neighbours
getting out of their homes and know each other.
Secondly
, it's high
time
for the Government to step in and make amendments to
labor
a social class comprising those who do manual labor or work for wages
labour
laws, preventing Corporations from draining their employees' life, for the benefit of high paid Executives and CEOs.
Finally
, the Government can levy more taxes on online stores and provide incentives for local store owners.
This
will help the growth of local businesses and people will interact with each other and build a relationship like the olden times. In conclusion, though it's an arduous task to make the
neighborhood
a surrounding or nearby region
neighbourhood
friendly and social, with the involvement of the Government and people realizing their part and need in it, it is possible to develop loving, kind communities again.
