What prevents us from acting on the sense of our connection to other human beings that Addams described in The Subjective Necessity of Social Settlements?

In this sixth chapter of Twenty Years at Hull-House, published in 1892, Jane Addams makes a compelling case for settlement work--that is, for living and working among those in need. She writes with conviction and humility about the way in which the character of our life is connected to that of other lives, and looks specifically at America's "fast-growing number of cultivated young people who have no outlet for their active faculties." Addams claims that "nothing so deadens the sympathies and shrivels the power of enjoyment as the persistent keeping away from the great opportunities for helpfulness and a continual ignoring of the starvation struggle which makes up the life of at least half the race." She encourages youth to actively engage with the social problems around them, to act on the "sense of humanity" learned from parents, church, or simple observation, and to make the world they must inherit a better place.

Human connection brings complex values to our lives: relationships give us a sense of belonging in the group, a sense of identity in contrast to others in that group.
