=What can I do to change?=

All of us have prejudices that we were taught as a very young child and still hold on to today. Maybe you know these prejudices or you could be completely unaware that they even exist. Either way it is very important to learn how they guide your life and what you can do to not let them negatively impact your day to day activities or your choice in the people you choose to associate with. As our culminating unit, you will take the lessons you have learned from the past seven weeks of work and create an action plan for your future.
