In class we discussed how humans are social beings. This lead to the idea that we cannot survive without one another. Even if you trapped yourself in your home and were never to come out again you still would be dependent on others. Just look around you; our lives are filled with things that other people make. The clothes on your back, the chair you are sitting in, the computer your are reading this blog on, all of it has been touched by another human before arriving where it is now. Even when you build something you use tools and materials made and produced by other people all over the world. If you were to be picked right now and thrown onto a deserted island it would still be impossible to escape the influence of other people. At this day and age we know how to survive in 'the wild' because we observed other people doing so or teaching us. We would have some sort of an idea of how to make a fire or shelter because someone else already learned how to for us.
We live in a world where nothing can be done without the influence or resources that other people share with us, we are dependent upon each other making isolation impossible.
