WRITE MY ESSAY

Directions: Write a substitute word or phrase that communicates a more positive attitude toward people who have been oppressed.  Place the negative terms, your new positive terms, and answers to the follow-up questions in the Learning Activity.  I did #1 as an example for you to see. 
In what situations are you not sure of how to refer to people who have been oppressed?
How might we encourage others to use sensitive terminology?
What did you learn the most from the readings and from this assignment
