Band 7

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?

#people #time #home #effects #individuals #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.
