No one is the same, nor should they be. Every person carries different traits in terms of appearance, personality, culture, ideas and it's what may distinguish us from one another.  The unfortunate truth though, is that many people fear the idea of being different as well as are scared to be judged by society. Too often we find ourselves feeling unsafe or rejected by those around us because we don't hold privileged master statuses seen as better.]]> 2019-02-12 17:27:58 UTC https://padlet.com/zavalaj2/bnz2bdkg81ib/wish/330454324 What are my master statuses and which do I consider to be stigmatized and privileged? zavalaj2 https://padlet.com/zavalaj2/bnz2bdkg81ib/wish/330465137 Master classes I consider myself to have are being able bodied, young, a US citizen, and identifying as middle class.
