We've learned that there is a psychological categorization of space (i.e. public, semi-public, semi-private, and private). One of the questions posed in the video above encourages to reflect on as a society whether we are "choosing floor space over friends and stuff over connection"? I wonder if our living spaces have the psychological categorization of private and how this feeling impacts social cohesion and our ability to enhance social recovery through meaningful connection. Ideally, our communities offer security, stimulation, and identity through the establishment and elimination of boundaries, sharing stories, and feeling needed. This video suggests that a breakdown of community and extensive physical isolation contribute to the development of addiction. How will perceptions and feelings of security, stimulation, and identity be influenced by the rapid growing rate of our population?
