Week 6: Exploring the relationship between identity and the need to belong.

Lesson Reflection 6:

Reflect upon Eve Shalen's quotation, "Often being accepted by others is more satisfying than being accepted by oneself even though the satisfaction does not last."

What does this mean to you? Does this happen in your life too? Explain.

The quote means that you would change yourself just to be accepted in a certain group or society. This basically means that you would allow someone to change your identity. For example, your personality, characteristics and so on. This has not happened to me before as I would rather join a group which I am comfortable with and not a group which is judgemental about whom I really am.

How might our need to belong affect how we treat those who do not belong to the "in" group?

We would follow what majority of the group has to say about someone. Sometimes, we might even hurt someone's without even knowing because you wouldn't notice that you are doing something wrong as everyone around you are doing the wrong thing as well.
