The first section examines individual concerns, while the second section describes the cultural and historical context in which we live. The third section focuses on the literature surrounding classism, sexism, racism, hetero-sexism, and ableism and addresses the three areas of historical biases based on cultural norms, individual prejudices based on myths and misconceptions, and the way institutional discrimination advantages dominant groups and disadvantages those who are oppressed.

Lastly, the final section of the content focuses on changes that have already been achieved and changes that still need to be implemented in our schools and society to create a more equitable and just society.
