Week 10 Assignment – Multiple Perspectives Reflexive Paper

Overview

We have spent several weeks seeing the  world through other eyes and examining imbalances of power and privilege  and the inequitable access to resources that imbalance creates. During  those same weeks we have been examining ourselves and what role our  personal experiences play in how we interact with the people in the  world around us. During our reflexive work, we examined our worldview  and potentially grew and will continue to grow in positive ways because  of it.
