A person, a couple, or a larger group may go to a secluded place for privacy, or because the place is quiet.

In some cases where there are legal, religious or social restrictions on two people having physical intimacy, there may even be such restrictions on just being together in a secluded place. For example, under traditional schools of sharia or Islamic law, a man and a woman who are not married and not mahram, being together in a house, a room, a bathroom, or a secluded place may be forbidden. See also yichud. A man and women could be in a secluded area for work purposes, just talking, anything that does not allow them to pass their limits.

Seclusion may be used as a control tactic in psychiatric treatment settings. Seclusion of an agitated person in a quiet room free of stimulation may help de-escalate a situation which may be dangerous to the agitated person or those around him.

Seclusion of a single person is also called solitude.

A. Depends on what that monk does with his time, and what the construction worker does when he's not working. Genius monks have made great contributions to culture and science (Dom Perignon comes to mind).
