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.

You might also want to consider the importance of the sense of self as belonging, to one or more of the following:

Religion

Religious denomination

Gender

Race

Club

Organization

Community

Sexual orientation

Family

Extended family

Social strata/group

Work group

City

State

Country

Political party affiliation
