In what ways can names be empowering?
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

Empower means to be confident and strong in life and claiming their rights.

Names can be empowering in many ways as sometimes names give you the confidence or power of doing something in which your name is based on. For example - if a girl name "Trudy", it is a German name which means “spear of strength”. Whenever a person feels depressed or non-powerful, their names can make them remember and give strength to become like the name they got.

Names can be limiting as well that bounds a person in its boundaries and limit themselves to open up. Sometimes, the negative meaning name gives negative values to the person and limit their capabilities of empowerment.

<u>In class we can follow the following steps that our names are always empowering and never limiting:</u>

  • Find the positive meaning of their own names.
  • To conduct an activity in which every student randomly say a few positive words for each other based on their names.
