In this unit, we have been exploring different global issues through The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. We focused on medical ethics, racial discrimination, religion, justice, and power. It has been an interesting unit, we took an in-depth look at issues happened in history and could link back to today’s society. Many topics we discussed also had connections to topics we were learning in other subjects- the issue of medical ethics was connected to our psychology social experiment, the topic of racial discrimination was connected to our history class.
