I have written an essay on belonging and identity for teenagers and I decided to broadcast my work here in my blog. I am waiting for the comments about. Enjoy....
Human beings, due to their natures, are in
need of nestle something in which they can feel familiar. This is not only
because they express themselves efficiently but also they find ways of being
understood by the society they live in. One’s
identity is formed and influenced by the groups one belongs to.
Music is a tool for
some people to improve their sense of
belonging. This may be sometimes by the help of learning to play an
instrument or singing and taking place in a group. They fulfill their identity issue by joining
musical activities. In deed, groups look
for different characteristics from their members. That is one must
possess those criterias. You may think that you are a very talented guitarist
but this doesn’t mean that the group you apply for is looking for your style.
Sometimes group leaders consider the applicants social status. Even if you are
talented enough, they may give priority to one’s socio-economic background.
Actually this differs from group to group. Nevertheless people, as social animals, mostly fill the
requirements posed by the groups and
they enjoy music activities. It gives them a sense of belonging and identity in
the society they live.
There is another way
to use music as a source of belonging. One can play or sing alone and this
probably help develop identity. Some people feel more confident and satisfied
if they introduce their music by themselves. That is, some people are
inter-personal and some are intra-personal.
By the help of
above mentioned facts, I can conclude that we are all in need of being secure
and understood. In spide of the conditions and things required which may at first pressure us, we mostly
manage to anchor in a safe harbor like music in a way.
