Answer 1

It's difficult to understand your question, but I think you're looking for ideas on what enables a person to feel like he or she belongs in his or her society.  In 1950's suburbia, for example, a woman would not have "belonged" if she had been a corporate go-getter.  The accepted role was that of home-maker.  It probably resulted from jealousy or low self-esteem on the parts of the other women in the society, but it was what it was.  Regardless of how we hope to portray ourselves, we tend to associate with people of our own class, our educational backgrounds, our genders, our shared interests.  I'm not saying this is right, but it's what makes us feel comfortable.  I think this is what your topic would cover.
