After completing this activity, choose one image that has a diverse reaction or emotion and explain why

World Views: People who look at identical objects may receive different points of view. The purpose of this activity is to reflect on issues concerning personal bias, prejudice, and discrimination. Sample of what another student wrote for Syringe: Diabetes, afraid of being on insulin - The picture of the syringe instantly made me feel afraid for my health. As one who already is managing chronic illnesses, being afraid of being on insulin for diabetes is one of my fears. Being in the health care field makes me knowledgable about my conditions and I just hope I can make the necessary lifestyle changes to live a longer, healthy life.
