#growth #population #people #apartments #space #areas #trend
Many
people
 live in flats with limited space due to the increase in population.
This
 promotes healthy interaction among
people
 living within the
apartments
 and it is easier to get help when needed.
However
, it has its' own
disadvantages
 too, one of which is the increased spread of contagious diseases and another which is getting help during an emergency. In
this
 essay, I am writing in support of the advantages as it outweighs the
disadvantages
.
Firstly
, living in
apartments
 with limited spaces encourage communal living.
This
 helps
people
 to get to know each other more, and it encourages healthy living. Most of the time, the
people
 living within the
apartments
 are forced to meet each other, either while going out or coming in. In
this
 case, human interaction is increased.
Also
, getting help within is quite easy. If an occupant has an urgent need, he or she doesn't need to go too far to get the needed help.
This
 in effect helps to save time and even life as the case may be.
For instance
, a sick person needing
first
 aid can easily be attended to if staying in an apartment with a high number of
people
.
On the other hand
, living in tight
apartments
also
 has its' own
disadvantages
, one of which is health issues. If there is an outbreak of diseases, there is a rapid spread of
such
, and it can be difficult to contain. The proximity of the occupants can aid the spread of
such
 diseases.
Also
, in case of an emergency fire situation, it could be difficult to contain the fire.
Moreover
, it could be difficult to ensure lives are not lost and properties are not severely damaged due to the proximity of the
apartments
. Overall, I align with the argument that the growth of the number of
people
 living in
apartments
 with small spaces and no outdoor areas is advantageous, and the advantages outweigh the
disadvantages
 as discussed
,
Remove the comma
apply
show examples
 because it promotes healthy interaction with the occupants of the
apartments
 and promotes communal living.
