Human interaction is the essential element of communication. It is also an integral part of the health of our country. Consider important parts of society such as: Education, Medicine, Law, Police / Fire / EMS and Homeland Security. In order to successfully work in any of these areas, human interaction is required.
However, we are still putting this tremendous value on technology so that our skills are old. In our quest to improve time, we have created sub-optimal ways to create and maintain healthy connections. Every year in which we are technologically advancing, we take a step further and further away from real communication. The results are increased rates of anxiety, depression and suicide.
Families correspond to each other from room to room in their families. Online courses have become a primary source of education. Texting is an acceptable way for partners and couples to communicate with each other, and online relationships are now intimate forms of communication. We lose communication with each other and at the same time lose the essential parts of health in society.
Boiled up the basics, you can not digitize human contact. Literature cannot be learned from online platforms. Love cannot be promoted exclusively by words written on electronic screens. Respect cannot be taught through Marvel or YouTube video. Health cannot be learned by viewing the appropriate bodies on Instagram. Medical assistance cannot occur offline. Now, think about the enormous irony of our digital age in terms of getting help or support.
When someone is in a psychological or psychological crisis, we appeal to people to open up and talk about how they feel. We say: our children, our students, our peers, our family members and our public employees to reach them. Here is the logical and obvious question that is constantly ignored. How can someone be expected to communicate when their basic habits of engagement are separated from them?
Seriously consider the gap in playing here. We ask someone who suffers miraculously accessing, and / or suddenly acquires, a set of vulnerability skills to communicate using a method that is no longer the norm. Compounding the already overwhelming challenge, to challenge their communication habits suddenly. The expectation is that someone will easily reach out when they need to communicate in a way that has become very strange not only in emotions but in actual neural coding.
Please continue to think about these points when you find yourself deeply shocked by the number of children and adolescents who die, as well as members of the armed forces, law enforcement and early responders in our country. Life is precious, but we attach greater importance to technology.
Do not wait for the crisis to understand the connection, or lack of it in your life. Take the time to slow down. Take the time to learn how to connect. Start by yourself, then your family and go crazy as it may seem, start thinking about your community and building links. Technology does not breathe. You do it, your peers, your teachers, your partners, your neighbors do. Stay connected. It's a matter of life or death
