[DOCUMENT TITLE] Social Isolation and the effects While exploring my Seeing Sociology: An Introduction text book, I was introduced to a topic which immediately piqued my interest: social isolation. Ferrante, the author of the book, uses module 3.2 to discuss the definition, effects and debates that surround both nature and nurture- as well as how they directly affect physically and social development. Through this, she explores social isolation and the effect it can have on young developing children.

Some of the factors of this study that could have caused the researchers inability to find anything could be their sample size which was relatively small, only about ten individuals, or the fact that the time frame of which they were given simply may have not been long enough for those specific individuals to begin to have mental health changes. Some of the negative effects of isolation that were recorded throughout most of the studies include: self-mutilation, suicide and suicide attempts, hallucinations, panic attacks, paranoia, as well as difficulties in thinking, concentrating, and…
This was combined with a significant increase in separation anxiety crying for over an hour every time her grandmother left the house. Lieberman and Knorr infer children exposed to traumatic events experience and respond in individual ways (2007). “Distress is expressed through sensorimotor disorganization and disruption of biological systems, as shown for example in frequent and prolonged crying, unresponsiveness to soothing, (…) feeding disturbances, sleeping disorders, lack of interest in the environment and various somatic problems with no detectable cause” (Lieberman & Knoor, 2007).

Chapter 7 teaches that life is an ever-changing process that occurs in stages; how a person reacts to events and changes from these stages will determine their level of happiness and ultimately the type of life he or she will live (Manning, Curtis, McMillen & Attenweiler, 2011). I am 31 years of age and am in Stage 6- “Intimacy vs. Isolation”, which occurs between age 20 to 40. In my twenties, I moved into and out of my parents’ house twice, was involved in some bad relationships, partied often and formed a few unhealthy friendships. Most of the decisions I made were because I was focused on other things and people instead of my needs and wants, which is considered over-socialization (Manning, et al., 2011).…

Furthermore, studies clearly pointed out that social isolation can also be one of the main reasons for SUs to consume alcohol and use other substances. SUs with severe mental illness often experience social isolation due to various reasons such as stigma, relationship break down, lonely life, unemployment, poverty and homelessness (Lintzeris et al., 2016). For example, A 55 year old SU with diagnosis of depression stated that his wife’s death made him very depressed and he had to live a lonely life with all that grief. He stated that he initially alcohol to accompany him in his loneliness and eventually he became alcohol dependent to avoid loneliness.…
When Paul D arrives, Sethe gives much of her time and energy to him, which makes Denver feel excluded. She treats Paul D callously because he threatens her individual hold on Sethe. Furthermore, he reminds Denver that there is a part of Sethe to which she will never have access. Denver’s fragile identity cannot handle the concept of a world that she is not a part of, so she becomes increasingly upset by Sethe’s and Paul D’s talk of Sweet Home. Denver describes the conversation by saying that Paul D and Sethe “were a twosome, saying ‘Your daddy’ and ‘Sweet Home’ in a way that made it clear both belonged to them and not to her” (Morrison 15).…

Gregorowski and Seedat (2013), conceptualizes early attachment trauma as developmental trauma, which is defined as the following: Developmental trauma refers to exposure to multiple, cumulative traumatic events, usually of an interpersonal nature,…
