The Decline of Dinner Parties in American Life
Original: You are no longer invited to dinner
Writer Derek Thompson argues that Americans have stopped hosting each other for dinner, tracing what he calls the death of the American host. The essay, now heavily discussed online, links the decline of home entertaining to rising loneliness, shrinking social ties and the migration of social life to restaurants, screens and paid experiences rather than the dinner table.
Why now: The essay is topping discussion boards, striking a chord amid widespread concern about loneliness and the erosion of in-person social life.
