Some restaurants have the smallest tables. Couples prefer their tables, as do individuals who enjoy their privacy. When groups of friends, work colleagues, or family members sit at a long table, they appear to have more fun. Single tables appear to be lonelier, as the diner tries to have his or her meal in silence.
Loneliness and isolation are common problems in society. People feel isolated when they do not step out to interact with others, either for work or for recreation, or when they live in remote places or work from home for long periods of time.
Most dining tables in homes have four to six seats, while others can seat ten to twelve people. Like the ones attached to meeting and conference rooms, in schools, universities and offices. Canteens for schools, colleges and workplaces, usually have longer tables to accommodate the staff of departments or particular working areas. I am sure an elaborate study can be done on the length and seating arrangements, as well as patterns formed around long dining tables.
Prisons and military dining halls are similarly equipped with long lunch tables, as are schools and universities. This is done to enable an active interaction between the people at every table. The benefit of long tables is that people get to know other people, from different departments or sections, they would have, otherwise, not had the opportunity to meet for engaging conversations.
I believe that sitting at a long table does help to encourage a sense of community, and belonging, and does boost the morale of the team to a great degree. However, the opposite would also be true, being that rumours are also passed around these tables like delicious cheese.
A long table brings people with their ideas, and different perspectives together to have a meal. Sharing a meal with others at a long table does help a person feel less isolated and lonely.
Would you prefer to sit at a long table or still enjoy the privacy of your small table? Some of us would love to participate and eat a meal at a global banquet.

The Global Citizen by Warren Brownbooks2read.com
We live in a world that is more connected than ever before. The rise of technology and the ease of travel have made it possible for people to live, work, and thrive anywhere in the world. As a result, there has been a growing movement towards global citizenship — a lifestyle that prioritizes openness, diversity, and exploration. There are so many videos on social media sites that inform and educate entrepreneurs to the fact that the age of “digital nomads” has arrived, and it is here to stay.
But what does it mean to be a global citizen, and how can you become one? In this book, I provide a step-by-step guide to help you live, work, and thrive anywhere in the world. I will cover everything from navigating legal requirements and finding housing, to understanding local cultures and building community abroad.
