TOPIC:
Religious preference and gender identity are two significant social issues of diversity in our society today. Consider these and other ‘cultural awareness and diversity topics’ and write a reflective essay in which you address the “danger of a single story” – the importance of ‘if’ and ‘when’ to take a stand – as well as when it is time to “let it go.”
