Is it worth your time and effort to be the lonely voice of dissent in this class? Does the format facilitate persuading other people in the class? Will you enjoy picking the fight anyway?
Considering the amount of time and effort I regularly waste procrastinating, my time doesn’t seem to be worth that much. I think there is a very strong chance that if I speak out, other people might too. The well was poisoned early on in the unit where it was declared that “racist people generally have problems with this unit”, now most people feel that they’ll be vilified if they disagree with any of the coursework. I kind of agree with that assessment too.
Would I enjoy picking the fight? Yes, but I’m also working to change that fact about myself. The fact is, most people in the unit just don’t care, they don’t see it as an issue. Rather than counter the arguments, they’re much more likely to ignore them, leaving me wondering why I bothered trying.

Does it have value as an experiment?
Well it is a problem I face a lot, so I’d like to find the best solution.
