Analyze ways in which the interactions of social categories, such as race, ethnicity, social class, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, and age, are related to difference, power, and discrimination in the United States. Interpret and engage in the Arts & Letters, making use of the creative process to enrich the quality of life. Critically analyze values and ethics within a range of human experience and expression to engage more fully in local and global issues.
