3. Prejudice and discrimination
Today in class we will be discussing sensitive topics.
It is crucial that we remain respectful of all opinions and experiences of your peers. If you would like to contribute to any part of the discussion, please feel free to do so, as long as you have a well-thought out, and respectful opinion.

4. Guidelines for discussion
Listen actively -- respect others when they are talking.
Speak from your own experience instead of generalizing ("I" instead of "they," "we," and "you").
Do not be afraid to respectfully challenge one another by asking questions, but refrain from personal attacks -- focus on ideas. Do not raise your voice or become agitated at a peer.
Participate to the fullest of your ability -- community growth depends on the inclusion of every individual voice.
Instead of invalidating somebody else's story with your own spin on her or his experience, share your own story and experience.
The goal is not to agree -- it is to gain a deeper understanding.
Be conscious of body language and nonverbal responses -- they can be as disrespectful as words.
