Abstract

Loneliness has emerged in recent years as a topic among public health experts, especially as it relates to the increasing rates of suicide. The term usually conjures up an individual who is isolated, cut off from social contact, alone.

But is it possible for an entire society to be lonely? Is there such a thing as a "lonely society"? Can a society itself breed loneliness?
