Not only my peers, but also my students, advised me to exert more control over the discussions in class. However, by listening to my instincts and allowing the students to continue to express themselves, I introduced an exercise that allowed them to discuss diversity from their personal viewpoints. This was a turning point, for myself and the class, teaching the need for unity in a multicultural world.Copyright of Reflections: Narratives of Professional Helping is theproperty of Cleveland State University and its content may not be copied oremailed to multiple sites or posted to a listserv without the copyrightholder's express written permission.
