How do various issues, such as the AIDS epidemic and worsening transgender rights, draw parallels between each other? Are there certain political and social measures that we see repeated over time? Despite these parallels, what are the differences in approaches, especially considering generational differences?
Are the systems we have in place designed to work as they do? For example, allow lawmakers to overtly discriminate against gay men and the transgender community? If so, what do you think are the main reasons why our society was built this way, and how can we go about removing this discrimination?
Now being able to look back, In what ways was the American population misinformed about the AIDS crisis? Although they are two completely different situations, are there any parallels to be drawn between the hate for gay men and the hate for Japanese Americans? Do you think that this same hate could be generated for a different group of people in the future?
Are you susceptible to misinformation? If all of your friends and family started growing hate for a certain type of person because of what they saw on the news and in the media, would you be more likely to also hate that group of people?
