In a world where social bonds are fraying, loneliness is at epidemic levels, and digital screens replace human interaction, one question haunts us: where do we turn for connection, meaning, and community?

It’s also going to have some references from scholarly works – which is important to help support the stance I’m taking – I’ll put all the references at the end, so if you have further interest or would like to cross check my own research, you can do so. This is going to be a bit of a ride So buckle up.
