explained.

your own thoughts in response to the key concepts, ideas, and information from
this reading. In what ways does it make sense to you? In what ways does it seem
significant to broader societal issues? In what ways does it shift the
perspective of the ways in which many people think? Etc. In what ways can you
put these readings “in dialogue” with other things you’ve learned, in
other courses, through your own experiences, with what you’ve learned from
social media, popular culture, and news media, etc?
