 Paper #1— Reasoning About an Ethical Issue  Topic : Many African Americans today struggle with adapting to Predominantly White Institutions (PWI’s) because they feel they’re not seen as “equal” to other individuals on campus.

Since this paper will be revised in Paper #2, use it as a springboard for delving into your topic. Why should this topic matter to others? How does this relate to theories of ethics or advocacy? (You can use one of the essays we have already addressed, or you may select one of the theoretical readings from upcoming weeks)
