- Which inequality do you think is most important to focus your campaign on, and why?
- What are some ideas you have to level the playing field for those people hurt by the inequality in question?
Choose two to three concepts that you found most important in this seminar, and explore the following questions in depth, citing specific examples from the text and your experience:
