Homework
Overview
Have you ever been torn between patronizing and boycotting a business that operates with socially insensitive ideals that work against your social change objectives? Patronizing that business could lead to feelings of conflict and distress because your behaviors, decisions, or attitude contradicts your personal ideals.
As you have begun to establish and generate your own social change objectives, it is natural to reflect upon your ideals and beliefs that may not always align with how you interact with the world.
