Reflection+on+Isolation+in+America

Expanding on the current state of the American dream, it is safe to say that many Americans are relatively isolated. As a result of being wrapped up in economic and fiscal matters, Americans are relatively narrow-minded. No longer do we crave social connection, no longer do we crave a strong sense of community. Instead, we keep our sights set on making bank. A catalyst to our state of isolation is America’s consistently increasing propagation of the necessity to use technology. Many Americans utilize instant messaging, social networking sites, email, etc… to connect with their peers. No longer is face-to-face interaction needed. I fear that technology will expand to a point where we no longer need to leave our houses. Hopefully, we will recognize the need for community, the need for social interaction.
