	Playing with Identity Models and Race Cards French philosopher Emile Chartier was quoted as saying, "Nothing is more dangerous than an idea when it's the only one you have." This is also true of viewpoints. Some questions that we should ask ourselves are, "In this professionally progressive region, have I stopped my journey when I arrived at the first "right" or comfortable answer in my quest to expand my cultural views? What practices or way of thinking has been successful for me in the past but may be limiting me from embracing the views of others right now?"
