Abstract

Social isolation, also known as “social withdrawal” occurs when a person is away from their environment completely involuntarily but might think otherwise. This condition occurs in people of all ages and can be a result of traumatic events in their history, such as being the victim of bullying or as part of any medical condition, such as depression. In this research we try to explain this social concept using a novel Bioinspired Algorithm named Firework Algorithm. Four minority groups in Chihuahua, have high levels of social isolation, thereby generating between different situations, principally school drop due to the lack of equal opportunities for the majority group. This research seeks to elucidate the reasons why it happens this by simulating social behavior. As future work, the research will be replicated in Aguascalientes.
