  • What does the piece say about race, class, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, age?
  • What observations can you make from a theoretical perspective about the human events in the piece?
  • Link at least five (5) findings to references in the professional literature. Agree or disagree with the author’s interpretation of the given situation.
