  • meeting and greeting
  • interests and leisure activities
  • friendships and relationships
  • daily life and routines
  • personal identifiers (e.g. skin groups, moieties, totems)
  • health, body, and spirit (e.g. feelings and emotions, healthy living, bodily premonitions) 
  • hopes and aspirations
  • personal opinions on local, national, and international topics.
