Is there a connection between the loneliness epidemic and the fact that rudeness is on the rise?

Question

Why are so many people in our culture losing their ability to connect with other people in ways that are deep, lasting, and respectful?

Answer 1

Being involved in non-interactive games, watching television and NOT interacting in significant ways with either co-workers or other neighbors and friends is how our society has become seriously detached from one another.

The loneliness and rudeness directly spring from these social effects of increased isolation.

Answer 2

When you're lonely you feel isolated, and when you're isolated your world is wraped.

Answer 3

Stresses of everyday life?
