2. Psychology and sociology are mainly social behaviour which is directed towards the
society and presently involves a whole lot on the issues regarding human communication and
interaction between one another.
One of the poor social behaviour which are frequently happening amidst of us are
antisocial behaviour issues. Antisocial behaviours are further divided into various categories
and one of them being antisocial isolations in terms of communications and interactions,
which is pretty much shown in the sketch.
From the context, antisocial behaviour is actually an individual going against human
interactions. They would somehow find ways to substitute the joy and pleasure of having a
normal human communication and conversation with another person, for instance, what had
been portrayed in the sketch. Nowadays, kids and children of the 21st century will most likely
isolate themselves from conversations. They would rather spend time playing computer
games instead of spending their free time chatting face to face with the other individuals as
they find it boring and less interesting.
Indirectly, this portrays a mild suppression of thoughts of that particular individual.
This will gradually lead to resistance against natural communications. Besides, it is obvious
that the boy in the picture bears a sense of negativity bias. This can be reflected whereby he
has a negative perceptions regarding having a proper conversation with others. Therefore, he
rather isolates himself and spends time playing computer games instead of communicating
with others.
In a nutshell, antisocial isolation will degrade human interactions and communication
relationships. Besides, it would gradually produce a generation of people who literally do not
communicate but rather be stuck with technology. Henceforth, we must be aware not to let

3. our personal judgments and thoughts into using technology to overpower and substitute the
beauty and importance of interacting and communicating with each other.
