Sample Answer
Competition and the scuffle with all odds to survive have profusely intensified these days. Owing to this, people generally burst their bubble of neverland, come to terms with the hardships, and generally leave their native places to seek employment. In the paragraphs to come, I shall elucidate the reasons and effects of such a phenomenon on the people and their families.
The first reason that comes to the forefront is the very fact that to make one static in the fast- paced world, one needs to be dynamic enough with the velocity of the competition that is rife today. It is a quintessential requisite for one to go and take a deep dive into the oceans of challenges to acquire the pearl of living comfortably in this materialistic world. Generally, due to the paucity of job opportunities and employment offers in the countryside and rural parts that are not that progressive, people today have to go and find a harbor in the proliferating grounds of cities and urban areas. Apart from that, if we talk about another facet, with the advent of the digital era, real-time meetups and family time have been fully substituted by the interruption of digital screens. Online family time has entirely triumphed over the good old days where people used to interact with each other without the quasi-meetings of the virtual world. This interaction has been interdicted by the era of the internet and has been a conglomerate of the reasons for distancing people from each other.
It has innumerable and corrosive effects on the people and their relationships with their kin and family members and it has severed the concord among people. The cases of people misinterpreting and misquoting the ambiguous texts or messages encoded via virtual platforms as per their intellectual discernment do not evanesce out of notice. The very sense of human beings who were called “social animals” has lost its essence as they are majorly tilted towards being “socially-distant animals” or “social-media animals”. This change has been detrimental and ruinous to the feelings of humanity. Deleterious effects of it on our health envelop the list, including anxiety attacks, depression, stress disorder, suicidal tendencies, reclusive and secluded lifestyle, and even in some cases, it has arrived at the dire consequences of having a delinquent and antisocial personality of people. It is not only hazardous to their family members but also for society as a whole. Moreover, the kids and the older generation who need the most attention and care due to such repulsive phenomena have started being handled poorly.
In conclusion, we may say that the dynamics that have culminated in people being distant have caused some irrecuperable losses and concern for the well-being of society.
