Blog #3 Response: Meghan Tokala

Living a life of isolation would alter everyones day to day life. Not being able to connect with people through social media or even face to face contact would change ones perspective on humans and society. Children are taught social cues and norms through their friends and family. Isolation would change this completely. This child would grow up not knowing the rights and wrongs of society. If any person were to leave a life of day to day interaction with people for one of isolation, the results could be catastrophic. The loneliness could be enough to drive anyone mad. Isolation is seen as a punishment, not a reward, because most humans thrive on validation from other humans. If this is taken away, some people might lose their will to live.

I could not handle living a life of isolation. As a normal human, I enjoy talking and interacting with my friends and family. These relationships are things that I cherish deeply. If these bonds were ever broken, I don't know how I would survive. Isolation would force me to ignore everyone that's close to me; that in itself would cause me to go insane. I could not deal with the loneliness of isolation.
