Two scources I found from Google Scholar and Wikipedia:
“The end of Solitude” by William Deresiewicz https://www.fs.fed.us/rm/pubs/rmrs_p015_3/rmrs_p015_3_223_230.pdf
“Primal Hypotheses: The Relationship Between Naturalness, Solitude, and the Wilderness Experience Benefits of Development of Self, Development of Community, and Spiritual Development” by
Dave D. White John C. Hendee : https://www.fs.fed.us/rm/pubs/rmrs_p015_3/rmrs_p015_3_223_230.pdf
Summary: Wilderness experiences enhance peoples personal development, community development, and spiritual development. There were many studies done on each of these three factors and it was assessed in many different ways. People who had wilderness experiences all showed results of higher self actualization, locus of control, self effiacancy, and self esteem. Many factors also showed to have shown that people’s relationships with others deepened because of the experience. Although hard to define and not able to talk about transparently, a large number of results showed people had transcendent experices where they connected to God.
Assess: This is a scholarly article. I take it as very credible. I believe this article is government ran or something of that nature. It has a lot of evidence and numbers to prove their words
Reflect: it is interesting to see the impact of the wilderness itself on individuals. It focuses solely on the impact of nature on people and this is still an extreme big part of solitude
Terms, writers, articles, essays, or phrases I think are important: Gregarious, Loaf, Idleness, Transcendentalism, Silence, Loneliness, Society, Henry David Thoreau
