A cave could also be a group of friends, many people don't reach out to new people because they are comfortable in the groups they are in. ]]> 2018-04-11 16:22:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jewing4/lfpbplhdpar4/wish/250802198 https://padlet.com/jewing4/lfpbplhdpar4/wish/250802372 When people don't know different, why would they change?]]> 2018-04-11 16:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jewing4/lfpbplhdpar4/wish/250802372 https://padlet.com/jewing4/lfpbplhdpar4/wish/250802471 Sexual harassment and assault has become something that is normalized for women in our society. I think as a whole, we just accept that it happens instead of actually working towards solving the problem. We dont necessarily take this for granted but we do turn our heads from it.

We accept the two party system, the national debt, congressional law (even if it is unjust). We do not try to escape and learn, we accept the situation and do not pursue solutions, as "it's only going to get worse" so why bother.]]> 2018-04-11 16:23:16 UTC https://padlet.com/jewing4/lfpbplhdpar4/wish/250802485 https://padlet.com/jewing4/lfpbplhdpar4/wish/250802585 We rationalize that we are content with "being in the cave"
