"Man is by Nature a Social Animal" famous sentence by  Aristotle

Man is not only a natural being, but a human natural being, and that means a social being, because not only natural, but also social forces act on him. Natural and social forces are in unity, interconnected. While natural forces are decisive for his physical existence, social forces are decisive for his human existence, for the social dimension of his nature. Precisely human social relations represent an important constitutive element of society, which is a very important moment in explaining the essence of the concept of man and human sociability.

We should not ignore the fact that until recently, every person built and nurtured his sociability in direct contact with people and mutual exchange of information, emotions and experiences. Modern people are increasingly living "on the click", which actually narrows their real life. Virtual life loses its true values, changes its way of life and personality structure. Values that until recently were an obligatory part of our lives are being nurtured less and less. Let's ask ourselves when was the last time we wrote a letter to someone, handwritten, packed in an envelope and sent by mail. When was the last time we wrote a postcard to a dear person, pasted a stamp in the right corner and put it in the mailbox on a trip? Are we able to hang out in a certain place, at a certain time without prior agreement via phone conversation, SMS, Facebook and other social networks?

Alienation, as a general phenomenon in today's society, is gaining momentum. It comes as a logical sequence, as a payment for a new way of life that is enabled by increasingly developed new technologies. In the world of fast information, instant knowledge and electronic duties, real contact between people is lost. Friends and relatives gather less and less in one place, there are fewer and fewer sudden home visits, neighbors no longer come for coffee, and we mostly "skype" with friends.

As a consequence of sociological globalization, we have an increasingly pronounced loss of identity. There was a strange phenomenon - stereotyping in the style of dress, the way of spending free time, behavior, speech and vocabulary. In our area, this is reflected in the creation of an entire army of molded young "Grand-mutants", on the one hand, and "fans" on the other. The free time of these groups of young people is reduced to beautifying to the level of Barbie and Ken, going to parties in famous cafes, rafts, "getting drunk until dawn with your hands up".

My opinion is that not everything is as black as it may seem at first glance.I believe that man, as a social being, is not so easy to be destroyed. He changes form through time, and each time brings something new. By recognizing these problems in modern society, we can work on ourselves and our environment and to influence as much as possible the preservation and quality of human progress as a social being.
