Individuals across the nation are suffering from discriminations simply because of their sexual affiliation. This is the social justice issue that is most important to my heart. Discriminating against a group of people simply because they do not love the way that is considered to be normal is wrong. I am a firm supporter of any individual who follows their heart even if they are different because of it. For as long as I can remember, I have been exposed to same sex love. My cousin, Judi, is a lesbian. She is one of the most kind-hearted people I know and is very dear to my heart. When I hear of all of the hate directed at homosexuals I think of my cousin.

My PowerPoint contains the alphabetic and visual aspects clearly, and the aural aspect when it is presented. Additionally, the multimodal is relative to the course as it is centered around a cultural issue. This course emphasizes literacy based on cultural topics; as in the title, “Composition and
