I really enjoyed the dialogue we had on homelessness because this topic is a major issue in America that often goes overlooked. It’s easy to turn away and ignore the problems. I thought the group was well organized, and everyone was respectful in their responses. It is hard being the first group to go, so I thank them for their courage. I hope everyone walks away with a little more empathy for those suffering from homelessness.

# data[].attributes.body
I thought this topic of conversation was really good! I did not think about it too often before this dialogue, so now I have so much information and experiences that I think is so important to know. I thought the members were very involved in the dialogue and gave us their own experiences that I could relate to. Thank you for this very detailed dialogue!

# data[].attributes.body
The group was awesome in being present and kept the flow going, and the class as a whole touched upon a lot of the nuances of the term homeless and what it may and may not look like and it's orgin per se. The relevevance here is that while there are systemic challeges that still exsist with addiction and mental health issues, being unhoused is also a situational issue as well; a paycheck or two away from being unhoused, as well as the financial climate (laid-off) or even an enviromental disaster; wildfire, severe earthquake and even a building issue with water or fire damage that would cause one to evacuate. Because every situation is different, to have that human element from us makes a huge difference in where we can give hope to someone that lost that (thank you, Eileen). Let's keep extending our hands and heart.

I think this was a great topic to talk about. I think more than ever people are borrowing from cultures and some may believe that they are appropriating their culture by not respecting its history. I generally think it is impossible to live without taking from other's cultures because of social media and how diverse our communities are becoming. I hope that everyone walks away from this dialogue with a better understanding of how to be respectful when learning and participating in cultures other than their own.

I noticed on the very first question a lot of people answered so it took a lot of time, however I like how they noticed that and implemented putting "time" in the chat. They created a safe environment for everyone to share and it was well done.

I really enjoyed this dialogue that Group 5 facilitated for us. It was really cool to hear people give feedback and self assess their views on the example that Israh gave us. It also brought up the idea of cancel culture and why a lot of people tend to defend other peoples cultures, without even knowing how the actual people of that culture feel. Overall I really enjoyed the dialogue, and felt as if it had a lot of enriching ideas for people to take home with.

Productive dialogue on our individual experiences with healthcare which opened my eyes to how different treatment can be depending on who you are. The inequities within our healthcare system reflect those in society at large. It was reassuring to have my classmates share resources that they have used outside of traditional healthcare. Overall, a well facilitated discussion that could have been bolstered by further questions. For example, how is health and wellness viewed outside of the U.S.?

# data[].attributes.body
Healthcare in America is a subject that will forever go on until radical changes are made. All the stories shared during the facilitation are crucial to the sort of change we want in our community as well as society at large. The dialogue facilitation itself was great except that participants did not take part as much. It was a bit disorienting to separate the participants from the facilitators at times due to the continued sharing of facilitators. Great job!

It was an interesting discussion on so many levels. As the title suggests, this was a topic that had a wide range of responses depending on our perception of culture and its appropriateness. Regarding speaking for others, when is it accepted and when is it not? I enjoyed the open dialogue with everyone. I did not speak as much to allow classmates who have never spoken before throughout the semester. Apart from the occasional awkward silence, I felt that everyone had a great deal to share.

There are so many aspects to health care. Mental health is very important, but it was brought up that Kaiser did not do a good job when working with people who needed assistance. Universal Health Care is a great question, but Sean posed the question of what health care is. Does this support eyes, teeth, and diet? Why are vision and dental not seen as health care? The public vs private question regarding health care is a question that has equal detractors on both sides. Disenfranchised groups of people are affected more often and are not provided adequate health care based on their social location.

I realized that it isn't my place to decipher what is and isn't offensive to other cultures. This dialogue has lead to so much self reflection. It is important to admire cultures rather than appropriate them and to not assume things about people. The group did a great job facilitating and keeping everyone on track.

This is by far my favorite discussion we have had so far! I think this topic seemed to have the most class interactions. I think I did a great job articulating my points and responding people. I do think I over spoke though. Its a topic I care a lot about, so it was hard for me to not say something. Great dialogue as always

# data[].attributes.body
The dialogue had a great flow. Everyone that participated was well-spoken and the content was a delight. I think our group could have done a better job of time management due to the fact the we had to leave talking points from classmates left unsaid, and I did not get to Julie's question.

# data[].attributes.body
This happens when the dominant culture grabs onto the ideas and elements of other cultures that lead to appropriation. I believe this has happened in black culture in regard to music, dress, and dance where styles are regarded as normal in black culture yet when white folks have braids or are rappers it is basically taking something that you know nothing about and running with the aesthetic.

# data[].attributes.body
Given the technological world, we live in it is hard to imagine our lives without social media, so this was a fantastic topic to have a dialogue about. I really liked hearing about the positive and negative experiences people had with social media. The reality is that social media plays a huge role in all of our lives and can take a toll on our mental health. But social media is also a great way for us to remain connected. The 2020 pandemic should be enough evidence to show the positive effects social media can have. I spent hours with my friends on zoom calls and connecting with them over Twitter and Instagram. My hope is that we all walked away from this dialogue believing that social media provides more good than bad.

I thought the topic on free will was unique and very interesting. It was great hearing everyone's different point of view. I provided an example on how I believe religion influenced my choices and I was glad to hear from other who are not as influenced by that. There were many interesting ideas brought up; what I found most interesting was the idea of free will and predetermined paths as both existing simultaneously.  Coming out of the dialogue, I am still undecided if I have true free will or not.

I thought that the topic of discussion was great and relevant for everyone. There were a few people that don’t use social media at all, and i’m sure that listening to everyone’s story was enlightening for them. I think that the topic was good because it’s probably a topic/idea that most people have thought about, in terms of our usage and the effects of it. There’s a lot of reflecting that can be done after participating in this discussion today. Thank you to the group and moderators for bringing good questions to the table that allowed for participants to be vulnerable with each other in this safe space that they created.

I really enjoyed the topic and feel like it’s an important topic to discuss. One thing that I would suggest is taking note of who put their hand up in what order, I had an idea I wanted to share but someone that raised their hand after me ended up getting picked instead, which was also the last idea that was shared prior to the moderators changing the subject. Either way, I think that the topic itself was really enriching and all the moderators did a good job in facilitating the dialogue.

Great job group 3, an interesting take on one's decision to act upon their impulses. Everyone's input validated their perception of '"free will" as it were.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like we had a great discussion surrounding free will and if events in our lives are predetermined. Hearing other perspectives made it engaging and the whole "yard/playground" concept stood out to me the most. If we make choices within the limited play area is that really free will? I also want to thank Lauren again for sharing her life with us and allowing us to grow when it comes to the bystander effect. Lastly, to improve, clarifying a definition for "predetermined" and "free will" may have been beneficial when it comes to this topic as it can be very broad.

# data[].attributes.body
The group did amazing presenting this topic, and such an interesting topic, and thought provoking as well. As kids, it does seem we have a world of options within the "yard," and yet, as we grow older (and somewhat) wiser thanks to experience, we understand the concept is much larger than the boundries of it. In thinking of predetermination, in relation to ones life path and timeline, leads you think/feel we have no control within it, and "letting go and letting God," but adding the possibility of free will, does that mean you are going off the rails (path) and creating your custom life path(?) or was this fork in the road "predetermined?" Of course its situational within intersectionality and social location and membership (family/community).

# data[].attributes.body
Fascinating topic choice and one which allowed for a wide array of perspectives. The facilitators deftly maneuvered through different theories with poise, attempting to connect each thought. However, some questions required further explanation in order to simplify what was being asked. Very impressive how they managed to focus the discussion on key concepts for such a broad topic. Grateful for my classmates and their enthusiasm.

Michelle- I think this great dialogue. There were some great points made throughout the dialogue. Something that really stood out to me was the idea that our sex, culture, and physical abilities also affect our freewill. Great topic, I just couldn't get my thoughts together to chime in.

# data[].attributes.body
Great job everyone. I enjoyed how we all were able to contribute our experiences and not feel restricted to stick strictly to one aspect of free will.

Thanks again!

This group did really well, especially with troubleshooting having a missing group member. I am impressed with the groups ability to step up to the plate. It was very organized. The only advice I have would be to put the questions in the chat in the beginning as well so that we can remember all parts of the questions. I saw as it went on they started doing that which helps a lot. I also think it would be easier if the questions were broken down into smaller parts. I liked how they transitioned and where organized. Sheyla took on a lot which was really awesome. I learned a lot as I didn't know much about free will. I also really liked the closing because it made me feel heard and understood. Overall, great job group 3!

Aubrey Gray (Dialogue # 3) Free Will is a set of options that we are given from a particular standpoint that we individually inhabit from birth. Free Will is thus predetermined by where you come from and how your individual tribe has evolved over time. You still have to be accountable for consequences if you make a mistake, but this doesn't change Free Will, it just changes your set of options you have from your particular vantage points.

When we keep an open mind, we are opening our hearts to the possibility of becoming a vessel for bigger societal issues that have gone ignored for far too long.

# data[].attributes.body
This was a great dialogue and such an important topic to talk about. Homelessness is such a huge issue in todays world yet it is not talked about enough nor given solutions.

Such a great topic (homelessness) my take away from this dialogue is the importance of empathy. Homeless is something that could happen to anyone and having empathy create a better understanding and hopefully hears us as a society to help support resources that help at most at risk people.

Awesome job group 2!
