#people #time #work #life #consequences
In the modern world, many individuals spend more
time
 at work than they should ,
this
 leads to the problem of having
time
 for their personal
life
.
This
 tendency which may lead to consequences is now widely spread in modern
life
. There are many reasons for
this
 issue, one of them is that with the development in economics, technology and society; citizens in many countries are now filled with demands that lead to the formation of jobs.
This
 offer more job opportunities for many
people
 to reduce the unemployment rate;
however
, despite the fact that it may be beneficial for modern society, with the increased demands of
people
 around the world, workers are made to work overtime due to the deadline of companies that
also
 are expected to meet the need of their consumers.
For example
, in many Asian countries, the number of means of transport
such
 as cars and motorbikes is increasing at an alarming rate due to the increasing need for travelling among Asians. That leads to many
people
 that have been working hard in factories now being busier and have to spend more
time
 working than in their personal
life
 in order to produce a great number of products to meet
this
 need. The problem of working overtime may bring consequences not only for societies but
also
 individuals. One of them is that paying
time
 to work more than for personal purposes may make societies more boring than they should be in the past when
people
 use their
time
 to develop and strengthen their social relationships and family bond which may be brighter than in the modern day.
Besides
,
this
 issue may give
people
 both mental and physical health problems
such
 as stress and obesity because of being made to finish the deadline,
for example
, by their managers; which leads to the fact that they have to stay in one place for a hard-working day without many breaks and
also
 be worry of being executed for not meeting the deadline. In conclusion, the modern-day problem which is giving too much
time
 to working more than personal
life
 may have reasons for spreading and all of them may have consequences that are more negative
