The individual island of a modern society
People have been isolating themselves from the rest of the society. They just live their life only for their own families which have become even smaller and smaller. Amazingly, they even do not know who is living next door. Then, the question is why they separate themselves from others.
First, the development of every kind of technology has enabled people to live alone without others' help. They are able to find every solution to every problem they would face with various methods such as smartphones and table PCs. The more convenient our life gets, the less we rely on one another.
Second, we do not want to be involved with others since there're a whole lot of things to quarrel about. Whenever two different groups or just people come to meet, they probably seek to maximize their own benefits. This definitely leads to conflicts between them due to the lack of resources which they can take advantage of. Thus, they just tend to avoid contacting with others as little as they can.
Those isolated individuals in our society seem to pose a serious threat to our community. When people stop interacting with others, they are very likely to lose a sense of pride for their community. The problem of this is that they might be unwilling to cooperate with each other to achieve some common goals for the whole community, which means it would probably hamper the sound and persistent development of our community.
