Context: Identity and Belonging examples

[[email protected]]

Hey everyone,
Was just wondering what people are using for examples when writing for Identity and Belonging?
I'm personally using examples from history of Aboriginals and White settlement, A Breakfast Club and American Beauty.

I'll probably discuss social issues and occurrences, like puberty, discrimination and bullying. BUT THEN AGAIN, I think I'll inevitably chuck in a Disney reference, or two ahaha!
I also find allegories and fables really great to draw ideas from

I'm doing a creative based on the Indigenous land rights homelands movement and the government's lack of support for it. I know white settlement is a common topic, but hopefully my perspective is different/niche enough.. Idk

I remember I used Aladdin in my Unit 1 context exam, which had a prompt along the lines of how people change their identity to feel acceptance in a group!

TO the OP, you could also try some movies such as Into the Wild, to show conflicts in peoples values, societies expectations, and how it affects our sense of belonging. I also like to use songs that are related as something different, as context is so flexible in what you can write, and it helps to stand out as most of my class write on example covered in class!

 Back on the Disney topic, I was thinking Monsters University could be used as a reference, especially with Mike Wazowski (or however you spell his last name

Yeah I used that in  sac once about how Christofer McCandless needed to find a sense of identity from being void of all human contact.
Thus, when realizing (as stated in his diary) that he needs human contact. Talked about our intrinsic nature to belong and such.
