They say, I say
While Hernandez (2007; Place attachment and place identity in natives and non-natives) claims that place attachment appears earlier than place identity, I disagree.
Island and city are places that have greater attachment and identity than neighbourhood (Hernandez, 2007: Place attachment and place identity in natives and non-natives) ,and city arouses stronger bond than neighbourhood.
According to Giuliani (1991; Towards an analysis of mental representations of attachment to the home), the quantity of the objects and the space people occupy have positive effects on home attachment.I agree with it and home attachment is also related to the representation of people themselves.
While Giuliani (1991; Towards an analysis of mental representations of attachment to the home) argues that it is possible for people to have no attachment at all because they may prefer not to become attached, I disagree with it and I argue that people cannot choose to become attached or not.
In Giuliani’s research, she discovered that the number of variety is related to people’s attachment to home (1991; Towards an analysis of mental representations of attachment to the home), and the more importance they concern, the more attachment they have for their own residential situation.
I think this has a great start, Xinge! I like how your position, and what you are disagreeing with from Hernandez et al. is very clear. It's also great how you bring different pieces of research together to provide a context for your claims, as well as support and evidence. I'd like to see some more explanation of your thoughts, because I'm very interested to be able to follow your line of reasoning. For instance, you say: "I agree with it and home attachment is also related to the representation of people themselves" and I'd like to hear more about what you mean by this, why do you agree?
