Everyone has the right to take risks and make decisions about their own lives, a balance should be found between service user’s participation in everyday activities and the carer’s duty of care. It should be noted that it is impossible to eliminate risk completely, however minimising and being prepared for risk by preventative action. Supporting people to live independently by taking part of their lives means accepting that there are risks that can’t be avoided but can be prepared for. 1.2) For some services, approaches to risk have been a problem because they have been concerned with avoiding potentially harmful situations for the service user and staff. People need to take risk to achieve things on their own merit, but there are people who should support them but will discourage them from taking risks because of perceived perceptions of the persons limitations.
Rodriguez watches his family depart and notices the sorrow and worry felt by his aging mother. He watches her wave goodbye "toward no one in particular," and cannot understand the exact reasons for her sorrow. After speaking to his father for the first time all night, he realizes that they are sad because they are so quickly losing touch with their children. Never again will their Christmases be the way they once were in the past. Maybe he feels a sense of guilt for being selfish in his own desires to become wealthy and successful and wishes he had realized that his parents, the people he owes so much to, still need love and affection.
Belonging is an intrinsic human desire that motivates individuals to actively pursue it. Unfortunately barriers exist that make the attainment of belonging seemingly impossible to certain individuals. The challenge is to accept these obstacles, forge through them and strengthen your sense of belonging beyond its original state. Belonging is an innate part of the human psyche and we are all impacted either positively or negatively reflective of whether or not we belong. The relationships we share with those around us can either hinder or support this emotional state.
Like so, poet ‘Peter Skrzynecki’ in “Immigrant Chronicle” visibly demonstrates his struggle to feel united with his own parents, it also demonstrates his struggle to feel united with the world that is different to his parent’s or ancestor’s. Like so, another text “Sweeney Todd” 2007 directed by Tim Burton focuses on the negative impact of forced imprisonment and reflects this negative impact as a result of Sweeney’s inability to generate a sense of “us” after he was freed from imprisonment. The poem “Felix Skrzynecki” initiates the readers with a personal pronoun by the poet “My” “My gentle father” instantly establishing their filial
“Sadness of Desire” Richard Rodriguez: The Achievement of Desire As I read Richard Rodriguez’s The Achievement of Desire a feeling of sadness overwhelmed me. Typical of what Richard Hoggart terms “scholarship boys”, Rodriguez felt he could not admire his parents and still pursue his desire to be like his teachers; educated and successful. Rodriguez’s desire to be like his teachers caused him to abandon his family. The thought of a human being alienating themselves from a loving, supportive family in pursuit of achieving a personal desire makes me sad. As a “scholarship boy” he allows himself to be embarrassed of where he came from and that his parents were not as educated as his teachers.
Devault expresses his personally opinion of the importance of self-discovery if an individual is to find their true purpose in life and demonstrates the ramifications of resisting self-discovery. He also illustrates how an individual can gain access to a greater understanding of purpose through a process of self-interrogation.

Therefore in the aim of a strong sense of individual identity, individuals who withstand and refrain from succumbing to society's expectations are those who remain true their own identity regardless. Individual's shielding their true identity in order to be accepted and belong to particular groups of society. A person's beliefs and loyalty can be lost to a preference of loosing their sense of self and identity, by willingly conforming for the sake of belonging. This idolized choice of changing one's self for the acceptance of others is featured prominently through media and advancements of materialistic objects. Vulnerable and unconfident individuals will generally have a foreshadowed perception of popularity and tend to place those who are of richer or of popular basis on pedestals, desiring to be accepted by that elite group of people.
The pre-conditions that satiate the concept are full information, the ability to objectively evaluate arguments and freedom from self-deception or coercion. The third main belief has relevance to social theory, which facilitates explanations of social order, conflict and changes. He articulates that the class difference and societal divisions may limit individual learning capacity. Mezirow assumes that society is made up autonomous, responsible individuals who can act to bring about incremental change to their
