Summary
The study aimed at investigating why man is entrapped four research questions were raised to guide the study are relevant and related literature was reviewed. The method used for the study was a mixed media made up fiber glass cast and metal construction.
Conclusion
In conclusion, one would like to reiterate that entrapment is a pluralistic issues that have plumed man into desiring things that most of the time entraps him, Not that desires are bad but according to John Maxwell he is of the opinion that the various desires of man has made him entrapped rather than living.
The importance of this work is to create awareness and open the mind of man into understanding that life itself is a struggle and that we should not get so deep into the world and get trapped into what is the unending circle of life. We are in an ever ending circle of compromise that is the futility of the struggling man. The never ending circle can be seen in the various sphere of man’s life such as religion, finance, family, work etc which is always trying to drag us down. This suggest that man should live life a carefree life an actually sit to enjoy every minute of life. The struggle should not make man give up of lose hope but it should help it him appreciate people, things and experiences better, and man should not give in to desire that is likely to ensnare him because even if there is challenge which is inevitable there is also time which have a way of flying away and that’s why man should learn to live and not allow his desires to entrap him.
Recommendations
