In the past, citizens lived for a long time, even almost whole their live, in the same place, but now they can live in many different places. While there are several reasons behind this phenomenon, this has some beneficial as well as detrimental effects.
There are some reasons why people tended to live in one place for a long time. The main reason for this is that in history, especially the medieval age, almost all citizens were farmers. They owned property where they could produce crops, thereby having to stay in the same area to ensure production. But now, owning any property is so difficult, so people, especially young people, cannot buy any. This forces them to rent a house to ensure accommodation security, and thus they can easily leave. Another reason is that although traditional customs require the life style that live one place almost whole life, now people can have a job in any country thanks to globalization. For example, many European people go to Asian countries such as Vietnam and Thailand to work. They live in rent house, hotels, and even motels.
Nevertheless, this trend also has several negative as well as positive effects that I want to represent. The main drawback of this is that it accidentally creates a lifestyle which was over comfortable. In fact, when people can leave anywhere to go to another place, they may not stay with one occupation for a long period. This situation can close the door to the development of their career path. However, this trend also has benefits, which is the fact that they don’t need any loans for buying a property. So, they can pursue the work life balance that can make they have a meaningful life.
In conclusion, although the fact that the trend that people now live in very different places throughout their whole lives has some reasons, there are several negative and beneficial effects behind this phenomenon.
