experienced. Write a short paragraph offering a description of one or two examples and consider how they

and stereotypes, and considering the issues of racism, prejudice, discrimination, and any other concepts you

short response to the question of: Do things differ when other social markers such as sex, age, and social
class are added into the mix?
