So Tuesday we had a speaker come talk to us about CEDARS and juveniles in need. It was a pretty interesting presentation and I thought it had a very worthwhile cause. What I found most interesting was his approach on stigmatizing the homeless and comparing that to racism. I never thought about it like that before, but it is a valid point because the homeless are thought of as second class citizens and often are treated with disrespect. I don't know if I would put that on the same level as racism, but I can see the similarities. I thought, overall, he brought a good message and shed light on issues that a lot of people in the class will be dealing with in future careers.
