Loneliness

The vast majority of scientists consider the social loneliness a typical drawback of contemporary society, to correct abnormality to eradicate. The loneliness means isolation, lack of affection and support and psychological maladjustment, perhaps insufficient acquisition of social skills. A man with unfit condition, which, as Aristotle said, is a social animal. ”

It is the young man who is not listening within the family and is unable to adapt to conformism peer, or has to be measured with obsolete institutions and prospects for the future at least uncertain. It is that of woman, maybe relegated at home in a role that does not recognize as their own, a prisoner of prejudices and customs. It may be that the worker out early from productive world, governed by its strict laws, which is not solidarity among peers who do not understand or feel that maybe it unfairly blames.

It is certainly the one that concerns, and confused in loneliness and is uncomfortable in a world that is fast, unable to take back all the changes, deadlines, ideologies, values and standards that overlap round and round.

Certainly the modern cities, conceived now only channel for car traffic and convulsively contemporary lifestyle not facilitating social contacts. Indigenous communities where experiment solidarity are unfortunately only a utopia sociological. Economic development seems to have selected a type of man whose psychology revolves around his small family and its own advantage. Competitiveness, which admits no breath, no favors convivial occasions for meetings, dialogue, holiday.
