They are placed in correspondences attributed to its tendencies relationships that are not related to the characteristic of personality pronoun agreement> they /its. For the honors students, it takes courage to move out of the comfort zone or norms, in which if demonstrated the going against the grain and injustice due to the dominant culture within our society. There are societies, although share similar views around the worldwide in various disciplines in which are rational shifts for one side to brings about a change to both sides and pattern which were broken.
The articles “Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack” by Peggy McIntosh describes how she felt as a middle- class niceness of a white woman who read two essays of two black women that were in the line of the out just like given and outright racist. And after McIntosh generated her own list through prayer, and slept not as a scientist but a prophet, in which change her mentality of awareness of “nice” of been working with black people. Her article distinguishes thought about racism and the upper privileged class white person. She transformed from been a racist to being an anti-racist due to the fact that she realized the through a form of injustice affecting her black middle- class peer. The blacks were at disadvantages in at school based on this situation of the middle class than their average middle- class white of the corollary aspects, and their privileges and opportunities they received. Her exposure of racial element and traces of instance of wrong doing that recognizes the states of injustice. These show that the privileges of being in the companies, schools and other major industries of people of race most depend entirely on depending on African-American majority populations.
The third article “Cultural Criticism & Transformation” by Bell Hooks describes how she frames a popular culture into a general audience as the outlaw of culture.

The interactions between people should be in a way to respect and learn other cultures, races, and genders. Diversity is powerful itbrings different ideas and people that interplay with one another which brings about critical transformation.

Stella, your work here is interesting, but I am still not sure you understand the assignment. You are to pick a cultural issue> research the issue> then write a paper that include the talking points from week two and week three. You seem to be reviewing articles here. You have not identified the stakeholders nor have you put them on the continuum. I do believe you understand how this will affect you in the classroom, but you did not address the issue as such. Again there are a number is problems with your verb tenses, your pronoun agreements and your writing in general.
Dale
