Thursday's class agenda

Today's plan: (Unit 1: Course introduction)

News: Guest tomorrow- Jennifer Mortimer, Out of the Rain Shelter program to see if we can help this year as a group action project.

1. Start-up discussion groups- based on the the readings/questions.

2. Defining our terms further. Much of this course will involve looking at issues of injustice based on the following characteristics. Do you know these terms? Can you think of examples?
-age
-ethics/values
-marital or family status
-mental or physical ability
-political belief
-race and ethnicity
-religion and faith
-sex
-sexual orientation
-socioeconomic status

3. The UN Declaration of Human Rights, 1948

Mental homework: Where do my beliefs come from? Do I believe that the beliefs I possess now will change? Have I had my beliefs tested?
