In many cities, more people are living alone. Why is this the case? Is this a positive or negative development?

Nowadays, many people in the major cities, particularly in the West, chose to live alone.
This
 essay will present the main reason for
this
 trend and argue that
this
 is an unwise development because of the negative effects on society.
Firstly
, we see that Western societies, and Eastern societies to a lesser degree, have an increasing emphasis on the individual.
Moreover
, facilities are available for single people wanting to do anything they want.
This
 individualism makes a
person
 independent of others, leading to an increase in one-

 households. The reasons why a
person
 should live with family are replaced by technology and services.
For instance
, a lone
person
 can video call any family member whenever he or she wants. There is no need for group protection and help, as services and DIY-approach has replaced
this
.
Although
 a
person
 would feel freer with more opportunities as a single living, I think humans are made to form families. Families are the building blocks of society, and a trend of living alone will ruin society as a whole. Service companies and technology can replace practical issues and help a
person
 living alone.
However
, feelings and support from family members and friends can not be replaced.
To conclude
, more and more people are living alone in cities
because

 the rise of the Individualism mindset.
This
 illudes a
person
 to think that he or she is independent and can do whatever he or she desires.
However
, humans need each other, and family and friends are irreplaceable.
