According to the Macionis and Plummer, socialisation is defined as; “The lifelong social experiences by which individuals develop their human potential and learn patterns of their culture (Cited in Macionis & Plummer, 2012, p. 695).” Socialisation establishes the importance of an individual’s social identity through both aspects of social structure and social interaction. Throughout this essay we will explore which is more important in shaping individual’s identity. Social structure is established by the social relationships that the individual interacts with because of accepted norms and shared values, and is defined by Macionis and Plummer as “Relatively stable patterns of social behavior (Cited in Macionis & Plummer, 2012, p. 695).” Within social structure are class, status and institutions and will be expanded upon later in detail on the way they influence one social identity. Although social structure has changed over time, there are still two major sub-fields; macro-level orientation that “focuses on broad social structures that characterize society (Cited in Macionis & Plummer, 2012, p. 27)”. Where micro-level orientation is “a focus on patterns of social interaction in specific situations (Cited in Macionis & Plummer, 2012, p. 28)”.

Belonging is the human connection to individuals, groups, places and the larger world. When people are nurtured and form a bond with the people and environment around them they are able to evolve into fulfilled individuals who demonstrate confidence and understanding within themselves and it is these connections that influence where we search for meaning in our lives and ultimately, where we belong Through analysis of The Crucible by Arthur Miller and the related texts – the novel, the Outsiders by SE Hinton and the feature article, A Dangerous mind written by Robert Wainwright and Paola Totaro an insight into the concept of belonging is presented, and conveyed.

Positives care environments are settings which are accessible to, and supportive of, a broad range of service users. Positive care environments provide service contexts in which care practitioners acknowledge service users’ diverse cultural differences as well as individual users’ particular health, social care and developmental needs. It is important for a Health and Social Care Organisation to have positive care environments which maintain all the care values, as it can make a considerable difference to the quality of life for both the service user and practitioner. Positive care environments reflect the care values, for example confidentiality or empowerment. The car value base works alongside many laws to protect human rights and protect
