Is technology (phones, tv, internet, machinery) destroying human relationships?
I personally believe it is in little ways.

1.) Advertisements are continually cheapening human interaction. Example: the man who is talking about "finding his queen" and we think he is talking about a woman but no he is talking about a sofa.
2.) Face to face interaction has become less and less important in society. We are all on our phones, watching TV or on our computers sending text messages or on facebook.
3.) Everywhere you look people are not looking at the person they are talking to, they are too busy with gadgets. I mean who here has been annoyed becuase the person they were talking to was texting?
4. We now have more ways than ever to communicate but we are farther apart than we have ever been.

So basically my question is, Do you think technology is good or bad for humans?

It’s certainly not destroying human communication. In fact, in terms of breadth and scope, and in terms of the number of people an average person might communicate in the course of a day, it’s increased human communication hugely. It is, however, causing a raid development in human communication.

You note that we seldom seem to speak face to face anymore. That’s certainly true, and yet how many more people per day do you think our ancestors spoke to face to face than we do today? As a percentage, surely a lot more, but in absolute numbers? I’d suggest about the same. We talk to more people, from much wider areas than our ancestors ever dreamed of.

You note that people that we do talk to often are also using gadgets. I have been annoyed by this trend, but I think of it as a part of that evolution I mentioned before. We tend to multitask now, more than ever. I’m not sure that frenetic pace is a good thing, however.

Finally, your draw a conclusion that we are now farther apart than ever before. I’m not sure I agree, and I don’t see any evidence to support your conclusion directly. I have internet pen pals from all around the world, and in some ways, I think the ease of long range communication has brought us closer together than was ever possible before. I talk to people daily who have completely different takes upon world events, based on their culture and upbringing, and I think that variety of opinion is very enlightening.

At any rate, we are having to evolve. Our modes of behavior, our traditions are changing, and while it styresses those of us who are comfortable with the old, traditional ways of doing things, in just a few short decades, most of us will be gone, and our children will be lamenting the changes they see.

Our well being is about having meaning in our lives, developing as a person, and living a productive life. We tend to connect in different ways to our family and friends. Relationships in all parts of our lives contribute to our well being.Through our relationships, we are sustained in our personal growth and development. Our relationships provide us with the support we need to grow and to handle challenges we can face. In relationships, people like,respect and trust each other. These are paramount to a healthy realtionship. We can accept each other for who they are, including the ways people grow and change over time.
Forx example, support and confidence we get from others helps mold us into a positive part of society. This can be seen from the support that we can get from our family, whether our family is primarily one or two parents, or other family members. Strong support that individuals receive from others is essential to our well being and therefore must be strengthened.
Having positive relationships with others is essential for our well being.Being able to communicate with others and listen to others will contribute to a healthier relationship. So is being able to trust others important for relationships. Trust impacts everyone. It affects the quality of every relationship, every communication, and every effort in which we are engaged. As social workers, we need to strengthen the communication between families and strengthen their interactions as well. In the end, if relationships are strengthened at all levels, by being able to positively communicate with each other, respect each other in a caring and trustful way, then all families can contribute to their emotional, physical, mental well being. Individuals can have productive, happy and meaningful lives as a result of having stronger relationships with one another.We all have something to contribute to our well being and our overall happiness.

This is a pretty well-written essay. I only found a few things you can fix to make it better. First of all, try using the term "well-being" less– it seems repetitive. There are a couple punctuational and grammatical errors I fixed and such, I just typed them into the essay itself:

Our well-being is about having meaning in our lives, developing as a person, and living a productive life. We tend to connect in different ways to our family and friends. Relationships in all parts of our lives contribute to our well-being. Through our relationships, we are sustained in our personal growth and development. Our relationships provide us with the support we need to grow and to handle challenges we can face. In relationships, people like, respect, and trust each other. These are paramount foundations to a healthy realtionship. We can accept each other for who we are, including the ways people grow and change over time.
For example, support and confidence we get from others helps mold us into a positive part of society. This can be seen from the support that we can get from our family, whether our family is primarily one or two parents, or other family members. Strong support that individuals receive from others is essential to our well-being and therefore must be strengthened.
Having positive relationships with others is essential for our well-being. Being able to communicate with and listen to others will contribute to a healthier relationship. Being able to trust others is also important in relationships because trust impacts everyone– It affects the quality of every relationship, every communication, and every effort in which we are engaged. As social workers, we need to strengthen the communication and interactions between families. If relationships are strengthened on all levels by being able to positively communicate with eachother and respect eachother in a caring and trustful way, then all families can contribute to eachother’s well-being– mentally, emotionally, and physically. (I tried to reword the last sentence to make it less run-on, but it still seems a little wordy.) Individuals can have productive, happy, and meaningful lives as a result of having stronger relationships with one another. We all have something to contribute to our well-being and our overall happiness.

There you go. You may want to strengthen the closing paragraph a bit, it doesn’t really flow as well as the rest of the essay. But really nice job. Usually its best to have more than one editor, so fix what you like and have someone else edit it again. Good Luck!!! ^_^
