Individual in Society
Overview
How do we maintain our individuality while being part of something larger? In these books, you'll explore the complex relationship between personal identity and community expectations. You'll meet characters navigating social structures, challenging norms, finding their place, or creating new spaces where they belong. These stories invite you to consider your own role in various communities and how you might shape - or be shaped by - the societies you inhabit.
