Some of theplanned stops on this journey will be to examine 1) how persons are constructedin our culture, 2) how problems are constructed, 3) how Narrative practicesprovide a counter-cultural antidote to dividing (differentiating), objectification,and normalization, 4) what are the ethical implications of both methodologies?
