I think that human are social creatures. I think I saw this explanation in somewhere in my biology text book. Since the beginning of our lives, like thousand years ago, we moved in groups and acted as a community. We started to civilize and group ourselves into clan, nation, city and more. The important point here is that people decided to stay in a group because it was ore beneficial for them to act as a community than staying alone. Human are weak creatures. By themselves, it's really hard for them to be self sufficient. On the other hand, people tend to trade and interact more with their specialized talents, which increases efficiency. (We can also learn this in Economics class) As a result I think human are social creatures.
Some people nowadays commits suicide because they are lonely. This is one of the evidences that prove that human are social creatures. we tend to move into groups, want to be loved, acknowledges, condoled and more by others. In my case, I get really comfortable and happy with someone else than being alone. I usually ask for help, advices and more that can help me in the future. This also shows that human are social creature.

In my opinion,I think humans are social creatures and I also think that it is hard for humans to live alone for a long time.I would say that we need our close friends and family to be happy in order to make ourselves happy.For example,we sometimes hangout with friends for having fun and men and women got married to form a family to reproduce.For me,there examples are good to prove that what are you asking.

For the first question, I feel like humans were not born as social creatures but their environment changed it. They could have found out that if they work together and socialize, the outcome is better and that they save time. To answer the second question, I believe that in order to make myself happy, you need your friends or family that you can sometimes let go of your concerns. For me, I always talk to my friends or my parents whenever I have concerns or problems that is going on in my life.

I think that humans are social creatures because people can improve by meeting other people. People can learn and adapt by observing others so having a friend can improve many people's experience with many things including culture and studies. Interaction with a close friend and family member can also make life much more fun.

I think humans are social creatures because as soon as they are born, they are raised by their parents and live around people. So we are naturally used to being around people and living with others. I think environment can surely affect one's happiness because if our family members aren't happy, we would be influenced by their moods and basically have family problems. This is why people who are loved and come from happy family are socially more healthy.

I think humans are social creatures because we have to unite with others to survive and develop. Ever since prehistoric era, humans have cooperated with other groups of humans to survive through weather, starvation, conflicts, and other threats. Also, technology and overall life standard have enhanced over time because humans worked together to improve previous ones.

As for me, I think peope are social animal. They must live in the real world and try to make more friends. On the other side, when people are making friends with others, they could get happiness from others and people could get influenced by the feelings from others. I think we do not need people around us to make us feel happy but people who always feel happy could mkae people around him feel happy.
