In some countries, many more people are choosing to live alone nowadays than in the past. Do you think this is a positive or negative developments

In some nations, an increasing number of people are choosing to live by themselves. I personally believe that

this

trend has both benefits and drawbacks. There are two major disadvantages of the rise in one-person households. The

first

drawback is people who decide to live alone may experience feelings of loneliness, isolation, and worry because they live without the daily support from their family. Elderly people and the divorced are a case in point. These groups are more at risk of depression, which is becoming an increasingly severe problem in society. Another drawback is the safety of people living alone could be at risk şince there would be no one to help them out of a dangerous situation. If a person has a heart attack or any other sudden illness, there would be no one to discover him and take him to the hospital. Despite the negatives mentioned above, living alone brings a wide range of benefits.

Firstly

, people who choose to live alone may become more independent and self-reliant than those who live with family members.

This

is because they may need to learn to pay bills, manage their budget, and take care of themselves.

Secondly

, living alone can provide inner peace and freedom of designing their own lives. They can create their own rules and make their own decisions without worrying about other people's opinions. A person living alone,

for instance

, is free to decorate his own room in his

favorite

something regarded with special favor or liking

favourite

way and do whatever he wants to do. In conclusion, in my opinion the increase in one-person households has both beneficial and detrimental effects.
