    D. 1. start a line somewhere and see how many people line up without knowing where the line leads
    2. dress someone up as a homeless man and see how much money is given to him/her as opposed to any other day while begging
    3. go to different social groups around campus, talk about things they would stereotypically agree/disagree with and see how they react
    4. print off 3 pictures of people and show them to random people, then ask them to say the first three things that come to mind, then tell them three actual facts about the people (pretty girl =transgender, 'hot guy' committed suicide) show how people are judgmental and when familiarity with them is stripped away you see them without judgement
    5. go to different social groups and ask if they came with a friend, see how many connections they have versus people who come alone
