Some say that music, art and drama are as important as other school subjects, especially at the primary level. Do you agree or disagree?

Some people argue that

houses

are better for living, others suggest that

apartments

have more advantages.

Although

living in a

house

gives freedom, I believe that residing in a flat has more benefits because of the

security

it provides. Residing in a

house

ensures an individual can do whatever he or she wants inside it. Neighbours do not invade the personal lives of people living there because the walls of these

houses

are, normally, not adjacent to any other

houses

. The family members can have private conversations, without having to worry about eavesdropping by neighbours.

For example

, couples quarrelling inside their

house

, often, become a topic of discussion between adjacent neighbours in an apartment. But,

this

is not the case

while

residing in a

house

.

However

, I am of the opinion that privacy concerns are secondary when choosing between a

house

and a flat.

Apartments

offer greater

security

to their residents. More often than not, they fall under societal regulations that ensure proper

security

standards for their residents.

Security

personnel are appointed by the apartment associations, gated entries are generally present, and more importantly, surveillance systems are always installed, resulting in the residents feeling safe.

For instance

, the My Gate application used by big societies in India authenticates everyone who visits the place, and only after the approval of the flat owner, the guests are allowed to enter.

Therefore

, I believe that

apartments

provide better

security

compared to

houses

. In conclusion,

while

living in a

house

provides a lot of freedom, people living in

apartments

are more secure because of certain features that come with it, and for these reasons living in a flat has more benefits than living in a

house

.
