Coming to college, I've realized that there are many things that people take for granted as "normal" and don't think about deconstructing or second guessing. These assumptions about the acts we do everyday seem innocuous, but in reality perpetuate a harmful and judgmental culture for individuals who do not fit inside our perfectly constructed world. The biggest harm we can do is accept these norms as the truth and not question or contemplate the reality we live in. Due to this, I would utilize the Odyssey platform to question the things we all do and don't talk about, to challenge the truths and play devil's advocate, and to be a voice and force for social change in a world where we accept what's given to us.
