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

#people #time #neighborhood #impact #community
With the advent of technology and an era of globalization, many people do not get much
time
 to interact with their neighbours, which have a negative impact on the communities.
This
 is because most people are busy with their life in order to have a good standard of living and spending much of their
time
 on the internet.
However
, the possible solution to
this
 cause would be organizing the cultural festival in the community and a group meeting in a
society
 once in a month. One of the causes related to not knowing or interacting with a neighbour is that improving the standard of living. Many people want to have a luxurious life, particularly in the metropolitan, so they often work overtime or 24x7 to get
this
. Another reason is spending more
time
 on the internet.
This
 is because these days the majority of people like to spend their
time
 on social media
such
 as Facebook or Whatsup to kill their leisure
time
.
As a result
, they are less inclined to interact with their neighbour.
For example
, in a survey conducted by Facebook found that 85% of people living in the cities do not know a person who is living
next
 to their door as some are busy with their daily work and some are happy to spend their
time
 on checking a message on Whatsup and chatting with their friends on Facebook. The possible solution to solve
this
 problem is organizing cultural festivals. Governments could organize a culture festival in the community every month.
As a result
, many people will come to celebrate their festival and
this
 would give them a chance to interact with their neighbours and know them very well. Another solution is arranging a monthly meeting in
society
.
Such
 a meeting will give more opportunity to everyone in the
society
 for knowing about the new arrival in the
society
, general discussion and get together.
This
 will enable us to know more about our people who are living
next
 to our door. In conclusion, improving the standard of living and killing our
time
 on the social media platform, results in not knowing our neighbours very well. Only when the higher authorities will organize culture, festivals and meeting of the
society
 on a weekly basis, will the problem be solved.

Examples make your writing easier to understand by illustrating points more effectively.

When giving examples it is best to put them after your main idea or topic sentence. They can be used in the middle of supporting sentences or they can be used to start a new sentence. There is no rule for where exactly to give examples in essays, logically they would come after your main idea/topic sentence or just after a supporting sentence.
