Write a short essay in which you illustrate the sense of isolation or loneliness which life in modern urban society can bring

These days, Isolation or loneliness is a global issue. It is the state of feeling alone and lack of connection or communication between people, groups, or whole societies. You can be lonely in relationships, in families, or even when in crowds.

Nowadays, the developing technology, the phone becomes inseparable, which makes us isolated. This happens with my own family. My family reunion always gets together with a smartphone and the members of the family who gaze at the telephone or tablet screen to send a message or surf Facebook instead of raising one’s head to chat together. At a family gathering, dozens of relatives gathered around the family meal, but focused on Facebook. They themselves create a stuffy atmosphere.

At that time, I feel like an invisible person, empty, depressed and feel self-pity due to isolated from my family. The technology at the dining table, everyone does not have to force to enjoy the delicious food, listen and chat together. I seem to disconnect with them. Now, what I only need is an informal meeting, people just eat and talk together happily, not feeling lonely even when surrounded by the members of the family. The time spent gathering together suddenly becomes insipid, and there is nothing to recall when thinking about it.

As a result, since I do not want to be trapped in loneliness, I think I need to overcome it, I proactively suggested to the family that everyone should drop the phone, say no to the smartphone when they eat an intimate meal with family, and have fun together to create a harmonious atmosphere and have great moments together. Indeed, we need a more real life, closer and more integrated, not only to express ourselves in the virtual world, which makes us distant and lonely.
