Identity and Belonging

Hi there,

I am suppose to draw on ideas from this single prompt:

"It is important to our sense of self to feel as if we belong"

So far I have came up with:

-It is important because it gives us a purpose in life as we aren't left alienated because we have associations with people as a result of belonging in a group/society.

Any more would be helpful

Thanks

Belonging is a basic human need called clanning by some. It is farther down the list of needs than food, sleep and sex but it's there in almost everyone.
