LV:Control of Self Representation/card-text

Whether through speech, story, or image how people are represented influences how they're perceived and treated. Non- whites, incarcerated, sick or starving people, disaster victims, uneducated, aged, and rural people as well as many others marginalized by gender or ethnicity are misrepresented. One cannot fully control self-representation but it can be addressed. The first step is increasing awareness of the problem; the second is analysis; the third is action.
