This assignment was one of my first reflective pieces dealing with diversity. As pointed out in the text, I grew up being accepting of others but had minimal exposure to other ways of thinking. There was a great deal of societal influences that were impacting how I viewed others. To this day many of those influences are still present in the way I view society. Learning about privilege and inequality led to some deep thinking that progressed from guilt about being the epitome of privilege to acceptance and questions around what will I do with my privilege moving forward.
