For example, if you are writing about what if feels like to be an outsider, you could connect your discussion to the concept of power (and how social status and power are linked), assimilation (how difficult it can be for an outsider to assimilate into an in group), or the way in which contact between groups (the contact hypothesis) might reduce the feeling of being an outsider. Discuss diversity lessons learned from personal experience. Suggest personal strategies for improving dominant-minority group interactions, based on what you learned from your experience.
