People today spend less and less time interacting with other people in their neighborhood and this has a negative impact on communities. What are the possible causes and solutions to this problem?

Although
lack conversations with neighbours does not grab a headline as frequently as many other social issues do, it does not mean that it is less serious. As a matter of fact, the chronic time pressure continues to be a
problem
worldwide, which is triggered to lose the art of communication. Despite its sizable influence, many citizens have not yet realized the seriousness of
this
issue. It is the goal of
this
essay to outline the potential causes of
this
problem
and suggest possible solutions. People should
first
recognise that interaction is a backbone of the social and interpersonal development. Obviously, by invitingly flexible communication through the online platform, people become estranged from the external "real" world. Having more than a thousand friends in the virtual world, in applications
such
as Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, people losing the connection with natural life (world), even unaware of open-and-shut who lives just in the
next
apartment.[✨or Facebook users can claim to have hundreds of friends in their network, yet sometimes find it difficult to name half a dozen people that they have actually met in their local neighbourhood.] Another potential reason is that most of the individuals work round the clock, being trapped in the cycle of monthly salary. By
this
way, they are trying to ensure themselves a decent standard of living, but neglecting the main values of mankind.
Consequently
, rampant acceleration of not only human needs, but
also
technologies prevent to build a strong connection with our surroundings. It’s easy to despair at the scale of the task, but it isn’t beyond humanity to solve it. The best approach to address communication issues is that creating 'neighbourhood sites' by state, in order to raise and debate local issues transparently and provide a channel and encouragement for people to get involved in civic and community issues. Participating in
such
events at least for half an hour creates a habit of people communicating with their neighbours. But it is not just social groups that can be used to mobilise communities, conducting public holidays and festivals extensively by volunteers together with authorities can have a similar effect. During
this
plural of "this"
these
occasions people would able leave their daily routine as well as become closer with the dwellers of their region.
Thus
, despite of any challenges in
this
way, obviously, the
problem
can be solved by joint efforts. In conclusion, it is clear that there are several reasons why do people become excluded from society. Tackling
this
problem
depends not only on the government's efforts to provide cohesion by establishing public meetings, but
also
on social attempt and desire to stay connected.
