It is so difficult to remember that something so immense such as changing our global understanding of justice as a means to reach the common good starts with ourselves. However when thinking about Towns' continuous call for our individual diversity to be embraced, it becomes apparent that me must start with our own, personal diversity. Even among people of similar race, religion, financial standing, and what have you, we are all different. While he have been focusing on differences such as race and religion, Towns' philosophy can be applied to much less obvious differences. Sports is one example. Between fans of fierce rivals, situations can grow intense, sometimes resulting in death. Embracing our differences, different team, region, league, can help us embrace our differences and work towards creating a better game. As a kid who attended public schools, I hated kids who attended Private schools, mostly out of jealously. By acknowledging the uniqueness of both types of institutions, I was able to work towards understanding that I was the same as my counter parts, (I'm still working on it.) Regardless of how minute the difference one holds with another, it is upon them selvs to identify the equality between them and their opposite

Here, Towns is explaining how changing the cultural perception of a group, in this case African American women will not eradicate evil. Doing so continues to mask the true identities of that group. In her work, Towns adamantly calls for us to uncover the true history of every group and to fully embrace their diversity, including identity. In order to eradicate evil, Town claims that we must enable African American women to speak to their own history and welcome their unique diversity so that they are equal in all regards. Only at this juncture can the common good be achieved.

Here, Towns is explaining how much of what we do even in our best intentions, is rooted in personal biases. She provides examples of political and religious upbringings that can influence how our society is governed. This ties into her general thesis that calls for us to embrace our diversity and apply inclusive ideals to create a greater common good. Acknowledging one's own biases or moral landscapes allows one to get passed their differences with others and view them as equal citizens. In other words, making known of our moral landscape allows one (say a politician) to create a more just society not dictated by personal bias.

In this Paragraph, Towns outlines how creating a global society with goals of justice outweigh those of winning and loosing, which she claims lead to evil. Her overall philosophy in her work is to embrace our diversity and turn our diversity into a motivation to bring about an enhanced common good. While I agree in theory that creating a new goal of justice in place of competition' is ideal, I find the practice to be impossible. She's asking humans to go against their natural being.

Just a little extra side note, I believe that the duty of modern education is to not only teach students necessary information but to teach students how to quickly adapt to an ever-changing world where information may be obsolete overnight and how to continually themselvs in a diverse society.

What I believe Lyotard is saying not only here but throughout this chapter is that it is not feasible to direct our application of knowledge and its rules through a notion of meta consensus. Consensus as he mentions earlier, is "a horizon that can never be reached." Rather, it is more pragmatic to align our aspirations and application of knowledge through a lens of transience. In other words, there is no one consensus and mankind's acknowledgment of such enables humankind to move beyond our struggle for a unity that doesn't exist.
