The questions I’d like to ask... From the module and from this TED talk, the important message appears

to be that having close, emotional, interdependent ties with others is a critical piece in keeping us safe

from addictions. You’ve taken this class, gone through the learning units, hopefully learned some things

...in a few paragraph, what is one behaviour you could change right now in your own life to bring about

better connections with the people around you? To the best of your ability, talk about those changes in

behavioural terms. And lastly...what effects have social media had on your person to person

relationships? And why do they exert so much control over our behaviour?
