Overview
This week, our readings discussed the importance of recognizing and the dangers of ignoring difference. Today, discussing diversity is more widely accepted and even welcomed. However, this does not mean that we have uncovered all the ways we can acknowledge, identify, and support those who are experiencing discrimination because of what marks them as "different."
