    Here is a potential response focusing on one norm: The norm of recognizing how one's own social positionality informs perspectives and reactions creates both opportunities and challenges in learning about social justice issues. An opportunity is that it encourages self-reflection on how factors like race, class, gender, etc. shape one's worldview. This self-awareness is important for understanding different lived experiences and having informed discussions. A challenge is that examining one's own social positionality can feel uncomfortable or threatening to one's sense of objectivity. It may require acknowledging unconscious biases. However, discomfort is necessary for growth in social justice education according to this norm. Facing challenges to one's assumptions is what pushes learning forward.
