Reflection Essay #7 : What are some of the dangers brought on by social conditioning? How can we as a society start to reverse/counter these issues?
Reflection Essay #6: How do you feel about your existence in your community, your country, your society? What are issues that you experience/witness, and what changes would you like to see, either on your behalf or that of the world around you?
Reflection Essay #5 : In connection with identity markers, how do you interpret your personality type (do you agree/disagree)? With this information, how do you feel connected to others/how do you interpret others?
Reflection Essay #4 : How might some of my intersecting aspects seemingly "contradict" one another, based on society's norms and expectations? How might they not?
Reflection Essay #3 : What are examples of intersectional relationships from consumed media? How might these relationships play out in my daily life?
Reflection Essay #2: Choosing from the Wheel of Intersectionality, create at least one (or more) intersection from at least two aspects. What scenarios might play out from those intersections? How have you seen certain intersections play out in your life, in those around you?
Reflection Essay #1 : What does "the humanities" mean to me? How would I define my own humanity, the humanity of others?
