Your name and surname: _________
Your student number: _________
The title of your wiki: Higher Education Students and How They Deal With Existential Anxiety
_________
The group that your wiki is a part of (e.g. Group 3 - Rural communities): Group 7 - Higher Education
communities
You have now created and made improvements about a particular community.
For this assignment we want you to consider how problems and possible
solutions in that community depend on how the community is socially
constructed.
We suggest that you first read through all the questions below
before starting on the first question.
1. Identify a problem in the community
Think of some problem or issue in the community. Briefly explain what the
problem is (one or two sentences).
Doubt around ones chosen career path (and therefore university course) is a
huge factor in university dropouts as students are uncertain or unhappy about
their choice of degree; this is a problem for the university institution itself and
the students struggling. If a student is uncertain about what they want to do in
life and the course they are studying, they are prone to existential dread. One
key facet of students experiencing existential anxiety around the expectations
of their future is that they begin to marginalise themselves if these feelings
become crippling and may drop out or fail their courses due to these feelings.
