I am currently taking health class and from my government required course the answer is yes.

You are currently taking health class and from your government required course 'propaganda' the answer is yes.


I just saw a PBS show about emotional health that claims "social connections" are required for happiness. Do you believe this is true?
Yes, though it's not a matter of belief, this is science. Human beings are primates, we are social creatures. We need strong social bonds for our health and happiness.

These look really interesting, thanks.
I would have participated more in this thread, but I didn't feel the urgent need to be social.  Cheesy
