Now many people spend less and less time at home. What are the causes for this? What are the effects of this on individuals and on the society?

It is true that nowadays plenty of people spend increasingly less

time

at their own apartment. There could be several reasons why

this

is the case, and I believe that

both

individuals and

society

would be influenced by the negative results brought by

this

phenomenon. There are various reasons why many people spend more

time

in the outside world.

Firstly

, especially for youngsters, they have to work overtime for their hard-won jobs or ruthless enterprise culture. Given the fierce competition in modern

society

around the world, scarcity of jobs makes almost every person desperate to keep their job. Another reason why people seldom stay at home is that they have to go out to have fun. There are much more entertaining places outside than their narrow rented flat which was terribly boring. In my view, declining

time

at home has some negative effects

both

on individuals and

society

. On the one hand, people's physical and mental health are

both

threatened by staying outside too long. As we know, staff usually order takeout at noon when they are at work, which has potential risks for their health.

Moreover

, against the background of a faster and more competitive

society

, we are suffering more and more pressure which probably leads to depression.

On the other hand

, more social conflicts may be caused by

this

circumstance for lacking conversations and exchanges with family. In conclusion, I believe that working overtime is the principal reason why people spend less

time

at flat and

both

the health of people and social stability can be awfully influenced by it.
