Let's start thinking about your Week 6 final paper - Cultural Perspectives. For that paper, you will choose one particular diversity-related issue to explore in depth. For this written assignment, think of possible diversity-related issues that could be used for your Final Paper.

The following are guidelines for choosing your three separate diversity-related issues:
