Assignemnt
For many people this term, there have been difficult moments of believing strongly in one thing . . . and also becoming aware that there are other ways to think about that thing. This can be incredibly disconcerting and painful for many of us, this idea of holding more than one thought or belief in our heads at the same time. In these moments, we must consider our role. What do we believe? How do we move forward? What is our obligation to others? To ourselves?
Ash Beckham asks this question, when do we take a stand and when do we let things go, in her TED Talk below. Take a look as you reflect on the last seven weeks, we have talked about conflict, gender, sexuality, race, privilege etc.
