Abstract
Brief excerpt from interview: I would use the term 'hyper-aware' of the different ways in which seemingly benign portrayals of culture can have some underlying, and often unintended consequence ... problem of hyper political correctness ... racial majorities and minorities ... as a writer, if you cannot effectively communicate your thoughts through writing, then you don't really have an audience to be receptive to you ... even if you are a biology major, or a math major, or a physics major ... [this course] gave me opportunities to apply my writing in ways that I had not done before ... Political Science, Sociology ... a certain type of writing style ... this course forced me to move outside of my mainstream writing style ... I would apply my knowledge from Sociology or Political Science to this topic ... and I can use the knowledge gained in this course to strengthen my arguments in the others ...
