How does your assigned subculture promote resilience, empowerment, or solidarity? WRITE A PARAGRAPH DISCUSSING THIS QUESTION AND INCLUDING 5 FORMS OF CLEFT OR INVERTED SENTENCES.

EXAMPLE

It is through communal living that hippies promote resilience, as shared responsibilities help people cope with hardship, and what this movement emphasizes most is empowerment through self-expression, allowing individuals to discover their own strength. Never do hippies face adversity alone; instead, they rely on solidarity to build strong networks of mutual support, and seldom is conformity valued, since individuality is celebrated as a form of resistance. Not only do hippies encourage peace, but they also strengthen solidarity through collective action, creating a powerful sense of belonging and shared purpose.

Thanks!
