Discussion Post: Becoming a Social Change Agent- Making Socially Aware Choices
The tag on your shirt may indicate that it came from another country. The name of that country will probably conjure an image of it on the map and maybe only a vague recollection, from a film or magazine, of the people who live there. However, the processes involved in making your shirt-political, environmental, and social-likely impact diverse communities and, as you have learned, those communities have multifaceted cultures. Now the name of a country on a shirt is much more than just a name.
