In an era where transparent communication is everything, it is seemingly becoming less and less regarded as our most essential component to human life. Uncovering the importance of social interaction, CBE Psychologist Cary Cooper and Linguist Bencie Woll explain the implications of a lack of interaction, and the current climate for such matters, looking into why London's "Tube Chat" Badge went so horribly wrong and exposing potential realities that threaten generations to come, drawing a strong correlation between Brexit and Donald Trump with the closed and unfriendly attitude we are experiencing in our daily lives.
