Assignment task: Write a journal entry (approximately 250 words) in which you:
1. Describe some element of your coursework that prompted you to re-examine your opinion on or view of a topic related to class, ethnicity, gender, or race.
- Examples of coursework elements include readings, assignment research, and discussion exchanges.
- A re-examination of a topic doesn't necessarily mean you've completely changed your mind. It could just mean that you discovered new information or came to a clearer understanding of other people's positions.
2. Describe how you are more or less comfortable talking about a particular topic as a result of your readings or discussions.
- For example, you may be less comfortable because you've identified a gap in your understanding or because you feel a topic is too emotionally charged. Or you may be more comfortable because of what you've learned or have discovered that people are more open to discussion than you expected.
3. Write with clarity, following mechanics and formatting requirements.
