SPRET: Social has had a positive or negative impact?

Without Being Social Where Would Humans Be Today?

Humans have been speaking and interacting since the beginning of time, and humans
will always continue do so. With humans interacting with others and being social we have
improved many things. The human race has made certain things possible because of
communication, like politics, religion, technology and economics. SPRET couldnt have started
without the S in SPRET, which is social. Without having communication humans would have
never have improved or learn anything. If humans decided to keep to themselves and not
interact with others the human race couldnt have made it this far. People have impacted the
world positively by using many different ways to communicate by using music, language, social
class, permanent settlements and much more.
For example, in the Paleolithic period people started making music, which consisted it of
20 to 40 people. Having an orchestra or band needs communication and willingness to prosper.
Then there are other examples like different languages, without people developing a way to
communicate with others where would we be now? Language is a big part of the development
in speech, its what starts the development of art, tools, and music as well. Having these social
improvements help start everything, its how people interact with people, its how we move
around.

There are also other developments in the Neolithic period like the development of social
classes and permanent settlements happened. When someone thinks if social class people
would usually think it was a bad thing but actually it was a positive impact because, it made it
easier for jobs to become apparent to people. For example the lower class at this time began to
become farmers because that was seen as a lower class job. Permanent settlements has
definitely made the human race speed up knowledge wise. With people not having to worry
about moving all the time, humans had the option to start opening their minds to new ideas.
That is how social classes were made and jobs were created because of permanent
settlements. Without humans communicating and expressing themselves the human race
wouldnt have sped up to all these different options in such a short time. Permanent settlements
have also have risen the topic of economics. Economics in the neolithic period included trading
crops, people needed to have permanent settlements as well as having social skills to start
trade. Also due to these permanent settlements in the Neolithic period, governments had to start
forming which gave structure to the people and none of this couldve started without having
social skills.
Without the human race being social, humans wouldnt have made it as far as they have
now. There are so many positive impacts from having social skills, many things have started
from interacting with each other. People keep improving to this day, many have made inventions
and figured out different things, from just working together. Without these interactions with each
other, then the world wouldnt be as advanced as it is.
