More and more people today are moving away from where their friends and family live. Do the advantages of this trend outweigh the disadvantages?
These days the number of
people
who are interested in living far from their families
and friends
has been increasing. In my view, its drawbacks are more than benefits.
In terms of advantages, when people
live away from their families
, they have an opportunity to gain new experiences and make new friends
with different cultures, mindsets or even languages. For example
, when young adults leave their parent's house to continue their higher education in a foreign country, they may deal with new challenges which make them become mature and experienced. In addition
, married people
get away from their parent's and siblings' interventions. In some countries, parents are used to imposing their ideas on their children's lives even after marriage. Thus
, by living far from their families
their marital issues might decrease.
However
, moving away from families
and friends
has some drawbacks. It is likely that people
become under financial pressure. People
have to pay their costs without sharing them with someone . For example
, some low-income young people
cannot cover the costs of accommodation, bills and household. In addition
, living alone brings feelings of depression and isolation. In some moments, people
need to have a face -to -face conversations with their close friends
or family members to reduce their sadness and stress levels.
To sum up, in my opinion living away from family or friends
have more disadvantages like economic issues and depression.Submitted by atoosa_1398 on
