But during the inability to meet in person or travel, people lost touch, also with family members and friends in the Emotional Distress and loneliness while hard to gauge to potentially be very harmful if ignored. In china, there was a prevalent increase in feelings of loneliness. Now, during the pandemic, an overwhelmingly 74. 6 percent of chinese residents surveyed reported severe loneliness. This is up from 17. 4 percent pre pandemic. And since the pandemic restrictions have lifted, chinese residents reported an overall 25. 4 percent feeling lonely. Showing the effects of coven are still lingering. There is not only the restrictions and limits put on interacting with one another, but also the restrictions on public spaces limiting recreational activities, including those which happened outdoors, the counseling of events, or even the in security of not knowing what was going to happen next. All have contributed to a present society were most are in our Emotional Distress. But will this be an incurable illness and what effects would have on our future . So to help us discuss is simone hang motivational speaker on loneliness and author of lets talk about loneliness, simone. Thank you so much for joining us. You know, starting off what route do you think was hardest hit by loneliness during the pandemic . I think there are 3 specific groups whenever we look at loveliness and social disconnection that are most vulnerable through all the research right now. Number one is of course those people that were in nursing home environments like my mothers who were having the wellbeing pins, 2 visitors coming into that nursing home environment were denied that. So we can also see that gen z, those born from the late 19 ninetys genji, particularly who were developing that social skills and social identity during those very crucial years of young adolescents had to do education online. And that we know has a long term luminous effect. Even off the depends image and also can also she and their sense of identity and also with the social skills. So jim z would be, and number one, even prior to the pandemic party, they were coming up in the 2018 singleness indexes. The loveliest of all generations, and im sure we can talk a bit more about that later. And the 3rd group, like anything in society, people from lowest search, economic environments, with less access to social infrastructure and certain of the instructions that people needed for Mental Health support during a, you know, an instant like the pandemic, new thing. This is the same group which was most effective post pandemic as well. I think we can eliminate, for really practical reasons. The 1st groups of those people in nursing home facilities who are relying visitors now have the visitors again. And so theres no rule, huge data coming out saying that that group is still suffering. But the 2nd 2 groups, particularly, i want to lean into jen z. They are coming up again and again as being more and more literally because of the adoption of social media. During the pandemic. That was hot and even more so with parents were already trying to limit social media use. They could no longer do that. That was the only way that there was some children could have access to Human Connection with via almost veracious use of online means. So what we found is that group now is still showing like markers of luminous. And then of course, lower search economic groups. I think a big thing we have to look at is a society with social infrastructure, which a Human Connection is making it really equitable and option would talk to not in, in lighthouse questions as well. Would you consider Health Professionals as im prepared and preventing damage to Mental Health during the pandemic . I dont think any of us in any set to were prepared for what happens with dependent, right. Unless your bill gates the cost and you the full, the rest of us. But i think we, we can actually look forward now. And the research in general has just struck to advisory with specific guidelines to educate Mental Health professionals and Health Care Professionals on the intersection between our physical well being and mental well being and social connection and the benefits of social connection to ab healing as a, as a species now that knowledge was not as prevalent, and you can imagine during the time that makes the Health Care Professionals. Mental health was a lease for the 1st year, depends or make. Lets look at a secondary to the emergency that was peoples physical health. So we cant really, i wouldnt like to put any lens of blaming anyone was saying they werent prepared because i dont think any of us were very well prepared. We can only look now into following the research and generals advisory and the advisory of other researches into making better integration for that awareness around social connection and Health Benefits. That link will 9 across the health care sector. What is the correlation between loneliness and physical distancing . Absolutely. So lets explain 1st what is happening in the body with loneliness. And that will explain how fiscal touch helps us as human sapiens. So when we were evolving is early humans, we obviously evolved in tribes. And i think a lot of people, none of this, but a brain quickly connected safety with numbers. And so there was a sense of calm when we were socially connected with the not tried. Our entire nervous system knew that when im with others, im most supported. And im more resilient to save. The tooth tag is threats to my well being, simon, etc, etc. So what happens when he mending would be fine out of that tribe. And last on the savannah as a body would have a fight or flight response. This is why loneliness is linked to information in the body of cardiovascular disease and lots of other things which well talk to in, in a moment. But so you can imagine on an incidental level, this is not destructive, it is not disruptive to have that take of a fight or flight. Im sort separated from my tribe, i still lonely. But what were seeing with the loneliness epidemic now is that people feeling this same luminous, chronically all the time because they feel isolated. And so that means the stress hormones just losing in their body, flooding their body over and over again. And that is what destroys our community and our well being by the time. So what happens with physical distancing is when you try to have the touch of another human being when we actually have to touch that helps to suit that stressed response. It helps to release of the person does mean happy home ive lift, im new to improve out mental well being. And imagine if you, i was other than relationship independently, but i was living separately from my partner at the beginning of it. And so i couldnt have that, that embrace, so for those people in the, in homes they had that. But those people who were single or not living with other people during the pandemic, they didnt get that physical attached. And it is very, very important. Were the people who are already prone to loneliness, more likely to isolate and the pin demick . Yes, so the lonely brain creates aloof, allow me brain is not rational. So if youre already lonely, your brain will come up with excuses to isolate you further. And things will happen, like you will be if you have less than good quality sleep. So that already will affect your search sign in your mood. This will then mean that youre more reactive. You have out this with other people. People who are lonely, chronically, also have a method called me to abilities in the shop. And then you also hold your loved ones that you might have existing loved ones to a higher standard than is necessary. So you become ultra sensitive and you become, you perceive threats, social threats, so you perceive that people might be coming out to you, or that nobody wants to be around you and it becomes a loop, then you ask, like yourself cetera. So if youre already what, having these thoughts in your head, yes, you are more likely to have, or maybe something not have seen as much of the impact of social distancing as those people with very, very social and not lonely pride to define demick. But you will isolate yourself, the best of talbot lane, we brain spirals, and loops even for us in non pandemic conditions. Combining this actually constitute a risk for premature mortality and negatively affect mental and physical health. Yeah, so we know across multiple, multiple studies now for years that as social isolation, loneliness is a huge, huge respect to for permits to death, as well as number of Life Threatening Diseases the, the best part of which is cardiovascular disease. So loneliness is more dangerous fuel bodies and smoking 16 cigarettes a day, 6 alcoholic drinks today and pollution and also would be city. Sorry, it is very, very, um, natural to us to be not having some form of social connection with other people. And so now in the us, the visor time out, the us search in general, it is a matter of you know, National Health attention for loneliness to be taken very, very seriously as a threat. 12 physical health and somebody personally, i was really happy this advisory was recently dropped because prior to this, you know, a few of us were shouting on the mountain top about it. But now theres a real push to make it part of the education system. This knowledge of part of the media and entertainment, and the Tech Industries as well to have it integrated this knowledge, that this is actually a threat to our physical health. Therefore, at what point do you feel that social isolation and distancing, begin doing more damage to our health, then good in the timeline of the pen demik . Yes, so i always think this is really interesting and so ironic because we were isolating, obviously because of a very aggressive spread of a contagious virus. Yet what happened cost is, is point is when social isolation started to really sink in. We were actually ruining our Community Long time. Pasta pandemic, so sorry, the exact thing we were trying to say. I mean, from what, of course, some of us who were punch its loading us and did not recover post pandemic with the long term effects to our physical health and on top 2 on gen z before you know, one of the reasons i think they are still a group of the stuff that post pandemic is because the part of time when they were learning to get the social skills to bounce back after the pandemic, they were deprived of that. You know, so for those of us that might already have strong communication, interpersonal skills that we brought with an analog childhood. Maybe we recovered a little bit more easily and integrate ourselves after a small period of social openness, more than then that particular group. Thank you, simone hang after the break. Most sites just dont question is rather when the next event happens, which causes the globe to have to go into locked on again, but will be handled differently. Well discuss the i didnt even him. Dunbar was for that still and were so obviously be the grand the 5th for the night and that has to be a matter for, for the cell on the part of the part of the status you most certainly stuff which is set up with the car executive and im here to plan with you whatever you do.

So just letting them allow me to come out, please make your lives or thought the best thing would have thought of unemployment is off the charts, not most of us territorial integrity and sovereignty. We respect the country which enjoys Financial Support from the us and is constantly roles by political and corruption scandals. But all the students dont know google obtaining a new candidate status in 2022. The welcome back. Im just kind of using you were watching the 360 view. Were continuing our discussion about the long term effects on society, caused by the cobit 19 loc downs, with our guest simone hang a motivational speaker on loneliness and author of lets talk about loneliness. Thank you. For staying with us simone, you know, i want to start off this segment by talking about researchers and how that can develop better interventions to increase peoples amount of social interaction or to improve the quality of their close relationship. What do you suggest . Yes, and with this particular us Search Engine was advisory thats come out. Theres an entire strategy across all sectors. And what people can do to improve things successfully, we need to cultivate a culture of connection. That means empathy, kindness, inclusivity into the way as individuals. We live our as thinking about cell a human versus the very individualistic way that we have been living in the past, i guess 2 decades from what the studies show us. So firstly, putting that had on when we leave a house and we interact with operation. So when we go about that day when we create outsource calendar, thats one of the things that we can do. And now the thing that is being advised to local communities is how cities and towns are planned. We have to remember that when we were evolving and tries, when we finally became, you know, no, no magic. Our village is always built around a central meeting place, like the town piazza or a place of worship of cities are no longer necessarily plants that way. And maybe we have to look at that. And they decide to have a Culture Connection to also syncs in to help public transport and, and Public Places are being planned and used green spaces and cities as well. So thats always plus kind of social infrastructure. And then of course, within the education and health care systems, as i mentioned, oh yes, having an awareness about the link between our physical immunity and our Mental Health and social connection and the benefits of being socially well connected is really, really, really important as well. So these are just a few things, and even some of the advisory was saying tools. So, you know, teachers actually putting into syllabus is the importance of the stigmatizing loneliness in the conversation to young people. Because i think that thats a big part of it too, is, is not being afraid to say on long way. Its a biological response, but we will experience at least once in our lives that Online Interactions have enough. Im in effect on preventing loneliness or do these interactions actually cause damage to how people will interact and person. Yeah, this is a really good question. I think with the, you know, thread struck today by matter and a lot of whats being called for us to also ask the transparency from Tech Companies to research as can have a data on the long term effects of social media use and build out not a search the answer is it depends on your boundaries. So i would use myself of example, i dont know, tom would digital output, very, very active on social media, but we still really focus on write about this in my book level of boundaries as to how many hours as to how technology is used in the presence of others, the phone goes away, im not really a scroll and they have a post and goes to create content. And then i, i try not to be scrolling on there. Now imagine for people who dont have the Boundaries Office prefrontal cortex, theyre at the tone of less than this. They dont have those for Decision Making type of capabilities. Pandemic hit technology was everywhere. The only way to connect and those boundaries were not the sort. I think the answer is, i think it absolutely can disrupt the wayne, which were present with other people. And i think its up to the parents about lessons to draw those boundaries. And then for those of us were adults to also to boundaries on our technologies. We, we, we have to, its, its, its frank, mentoring our Attention Span for the people that we love for in person in front of us who have the interest in chemicals to diminish alumnis, do you think we are presented another situation in the future, which calls for isolation and distancing the medical professionals, will be more informed to provide better guidance. Everything that ive read points to that as being yes, i think we are so much better equipped as a society for another situation might depend demik. What we know is that communities that it already socially connected. However, when things like a pandemic or natural dissolves to happen, they were comfortable quickly. And they also experience lo sites, holidays because in these highly, especially connected communities, neighbors talk to each other with extra social information because they know each other, the Response Time to any sort of emergencies, quicker. So yes, i think were going to be better prepared. But yes, we also have to do programs like this and write books like i have to shop from the rooftop to put in that social fabric. That cohesiveness that if Something Like depends every half and again our word of mouth without access to each other is much quicker. And so we prevent lots of lot we prevent illness. We prevent all the things that, that happen in a time of, of, you know, a negative emergency. You mentioned that there were specific issues for generations. The before the pandemic. Like what . I think one of the big issues that we read about is, is polarization causing mistrust. And disconnection within sight of fabrics the case that this is also another cause of luminous. And i feel that gen z up far less culberson about the differences between us to farmer compassionate and open and knowledgeable about the differences within a population. How to be sensitive towards different sorts of individuals and they do see each other in a much less guess, bigoted way than maybe even my generation to generation before me. So there are also incredibly connected things about trans, the to, and the mindset. And the way that they think that the Technology Use and what happened with the pendant it also does work against them. But i do want to emphasize that im not at all doing gleaming gen the because theres a lot of good things about the mindset and the culture that whats full of them in terms of connection. What are the effects of loneliness on physical health, on living alone . Theres also, you know, a lot of some research to suggest that loneliness is a, you know, a pre cast or, or a bedrock for depression and anxiety. And that might seem like a really logical link to some people, but some people are not aware of that. And it can also shop in other things like quoting disorder, which is also Mental Health disorder, which my, my people in my own family suffer from. So theres a lot of the danger in loneliness, not just to the physical body, but in how get the steps that mind me brain isolates further and then leads to depression and anxiety which, where were seeing a lot of post pandemic as well. Now to address the question about living alone, you know, when we talk about the about people at the end of their lives and extending their life spend through Human Connection. I can really lean into this. Its my own personal story. My mother had a stroke which strikes are also one of the illnesses that are a big symptom of luminous. So she was a striking wheel chair. And uh, because i was living in board. My sister was in australia. We kind of gotten settled into this nursing home facility and she had all of these visitors. And i really realized that those people who were having their life span kind of extended, shes now outlived the degenerative disease. She has by about 5 years. So shes now been there for 10 years, but particularly the beginning, she would have lines of people visiting. Huh. So the seeds of Human Connection that you so right now, use those Health Benefits to extend your live span at the end of your life. We also notice something called the widow is effect. So this is really interesting. Women and men connect differently. So historically, where women would use the talent to and from the social calendar of the house, her husband would tag along. Now, you know, we dont know how a recent data this is, but this is the widow is a site. And then when that particular woman would pass, she would take with her the running at the source of the calendar. And the mail would follow and passed quite shortly after, and they call it, the widow is effect. This for a reason. Just another case study that supports how important during that end winter of your life, Human Connection is to the quality of your life. During that time, okay, i wanna make sure that i heard you clearly. So are you arguing that loneliness is a precursor to possibly getting a stroke . What we know is that loneliness can be like the petri dish for some live shortening diseases and particularly cardiovascular stuff. And struck shop again and again, also in the us Search Engine was advisory as one of the leading illnesses that loneliness the actually contributes to. So the very same thing that i was mentioning before about those trust home minds about the inflammation, the party that it causes and a lot of other, you know, sick medical Science Behind it. But its, its actually, i think, with quite amazed people the effect that loneliness and social isolation have on our physical bodies. Thank you, simone hang or for your insight today. And if you like what she says, they hear you can read her book was talked about loneliness. Thank you for joining us. Scientist and members of society together must acknowledge that pen demik. Loneliness had significant impacts on emotional and mental well being. The isolation and feeling of loneliness that were either forced or chosen in fear contributed to multiple Mental Health challenges like stress, depression, and anxiety. And while these are just emotional effects, they are potentially devastating to ones physical being. And it is crucial that the Global Community acknowledges and addresses them, but i fear they will purposely be ignored because acknowledging their existence means one acknowledges they are the result of the decisions made regarding the pandemic. Those we trust in obeyed to keep us healthy. Have possibly caused us to become more sick. A, im sorry now hughes, and this has been your 360 view of the news affecting you. Thanks for watching the in the 2nd half of the 1940, the powerful european armies were losing their color. One of the 1st to start collaborating was the dutch empire. On august 17 1945, the declaration of independence of indonesia, a former judge, colony was proclaimed liberation movement, west, led by the National Hero of the indonesian people to gardens. However, amsterdam had its own plan, which was to defeat the revolution. Moreover, they were supported by great britain. The colonial troops setup control over the main cities in the country, but the countryside remained in the hands of the rebels and the resistance continued growing. In 1946, the british left indonesia, whereas the dutch did not want to lose power and switch to the tactics of total terror. In december 1947, the royal troops committed. The massacre of the inhabitants in the village of robert got a 431. 00 civilians were killed. All in all the lives of 100000 indian agents were on the conscience of the dutch colonialists and their allies, mass executions, and regular bombing did not help the netherlands. Their troops got blocked in the cities, the World Community demanded to put it into violence. And the empire started negotiations. In 1949, the head round table conference was held, and the kingdom of the netherlands was forced to recognize the independence of indonesia. A sovereign muslim state appeared on the world map and became one of them most powerful countries in the islamic world. The in 1898 look forward to read because it became a us colony, but still retained its own cultural identity and speak in favor of independence. We be thrown into prison today. Close to ha, its population lived in grow the residence. Of course, a retail have new representation in congress. The u. S. President ial elections are like ok. Were gonna make you american citizens, which you didnt ask for, even if we were offered citizenship and we would prefer explain once again. It was in his twenties. He chose to fight for his homelands independence. We felt that we could generate more of a spirit of resistance rather than submissive except our reality that we fell asleep. Shot fear, my sorry that i decided to fight for my country. No, im not good. I have done things differently. Yes, absolutely. Do i now think that violence is not the means to achieve anything . Absolutely. Of the museums are important for preserving our history so that it is a loss to future generations. But our physical museums, places themselves a relic of the past. This is one of the best museums in the world that come to touch in saint petersburg. And how is the director here . And i bet he has met the the re elected zimbabwe and president , the class has countries and big 3 over neo colonialism. And its an overall speech types. The post office for a 2nd time the French Forces are in the legal position. It seemed that the exchange is the top on the way should very quickly enable these forces to withdraw from all countries. I think french handsomer continues to grow and need share as thousands of protesters to them on the expulsion levels
