Using the knowledge you've accumulated in this course, write a short letter to the editor of your local newspaper arguing why or why not you believe the removal of the statue from public view is in the interest of cultivating a more diverse society.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Mr. John Smith

Present

Dear Mr. Smith,

I have read the news about the removal of the statue from State Park. Yes, for some was a symbol of diversity. For others, was a threat of traditional values of conservative America.

I just want to share my perspective because I think we as a society, and you as a newspaper, are missing the central point.

The statute could or could not be a symbol of diversity or against the traditional values of our community. It is just a statue. People are the ones who gave it so much importance and meaning.

What should be of our concern is the attitude of the local government against the actions and rights of minority groups, many of them that represent a complete form of expression in our society.

I am not against them or in favor of them. I am just demanding respect for them. They have the right to express themselves, something that the government has not allowed them to do. They have the right to be members of our society in every part of it, and the government is not hearing their claims about a lack of opportunities. They had been aggressively insulted, and the government has done nothing, and the news minimizes the incidents.

So, it is not a matter od a statue, it is a matter of the real actions we are doing against people that do not think like us but deserve respect.

Dear Mr. Smith, I hope you can reflect on this I change the way you cover this news.

Thank you for your attention

Sincerely,
