Sunday 12th October, 3.15 pm: A series of homework tasks
Task 1:
Using our examples and case studies, analyse the prompt: Belonging to a group is essential to a person’s identity.
Topic Sentence: It is important to find a way to belong and to contribute to society in a purposeful way.
Often people find themselves on the margins of society and this can have a devastating impact upon their sense of self and their confidence. They quickly become despondent and demoralised. Many need to find a way to reconnect – sometimes in obvious and sometimes is less obvious and more artistic and creative ways.
