These days, an increasing number of people from many cities know little about their neighbors and do not have a sense of community. What do you think are the causes and what solutions can you suggest?

Today, it is very common for us to see more and more city dwellers who do not know their

neighbours

and communities.

This

essay will discuss the factors contributing to

this

trend, followed by measures to address

this

problem. The issue is caused by several reasons, but the main reason is fierce competition at work.

To begin

with, there is no doubt that competition at work has become more intense than before. In order to secure their position and be promoted,

people

need to spend extra

time

learning new skills, which means they don't have

time

to spend on other aspects of life,

such

as social life.

As a result

, they may feel alienated from the

people

living in their communities and feel less community-like.

Secondly

,

people

have become used to communicating via the Internet.

Consequently

, they do not have sufficient exposure to face-to-face communication in real-life situations,

such

as interacting with their

neighbours

, resulting in a lack of community support. There are several measures that can be taken to address

this

problem. It is necessary for the government to generate more employment opportunities with a better work-life balance so that

people

's pressure at the office can be relieved,

thus

providing them with more free

time

to participate in community activities,

such

as glamping with

neighbours

. In the meantime, individuals should be encouraged to reduce their Internet

time

by providing more engaging outdoor activities. In conclusion, based on the above analysis and evidence, intense competition at work and Internet addiction are the two main reasons for estrangement between

neighbours

and communities. In my opinion,

this

problem can be solved by generating more jobs and providing more outdoor activities.
