Answer: Why is it important for humanity to stay connected? Social connection can lower anxiety and depression, help us regulate our emotions, lead to higher self-esteem and empathy, and actually improve our immune systems. By neglecting our need to connect, we put our health at risk.


We are a social species. Each one of us needs others to be as we are designed by evolution. However as individuals, we derive a sense of reassurance from our own established mindset. Historically lone individuals could not survive. Now a person of some means can acquire the necessities of physical survival without being part of a group. Since no one is in total agreement with anyone else, there is an issue of individuals living by themselves. (South Korean young people comes to mind).We need to reassert our relatedness for the sake of our individual and collective well being.


Sorry if I didn’t make some sense on this. Had to research some of it and hopefully you can put two and two together :)
