Please complete the following Journal assignment by 8-4-14. If you are uncomfortable posting this assignment, please let me know, but be sure to type out your responses in any event:

1. Now that you have had some time to reflect on your own Values, Value Judgments, and Subjective Perspectives, tell me about some of the  Single Stories  you have been telling yourself, and how they relate to your limited personal experiences? Be honest about the groups that you judge or stereotype, and explain your Subjective reasons for doing so. Are there Objective reasons that these groups might be judged? Explain.

2. Are your stories changing now that your knowledge and experiences are expanding through exposure to new and objective ideas? Be detailed and thoughtful in your responses!
