disengagement affected social structure and individual
lives. At a societal level, those social disengagements
could be associated with more corrupt, less efficient
government that caused more crime. In contrast, when
citizens were involved in civic life, they produced better
quality education, approached their politicians easily and
live in peace and harmony. At the individual level, social
disengagement brought poor quality of life and diminished
physical and psychological health. When people have
more social contact they are happier and healthier, both
physically and mentally.
