The goal of this blog is to address the importance of two key concepts that have a common foundation but are diametrically opposed to each other.
Socialization is the first concept I’d like to focus on. As humans, we completely depend on social interaction. As such socialization is truly the very basis of civilization as
we know it. Over the centuries, mankind has relied on building social connections in order to not only survive, but to thrive. Countless studies on ‘happiness and humans’ continue to highlight the critical role of relationships and socialization in determining how happy we are. Ultimately, it is the meaningful relationships we form that are the true source of happiness across all generations and in every country. It is not how much money we spend or how fancy our lifestyles that bring contentment, but rather it is our ability to interact and socialize that brings the greatest satisfaction. In short, it is confirmed without question that humans need social experiences to learn how to behave, to be part of a culture and to survive.
