    Out of all the literacy core themes, in my personal opinion, Civic and Social skills is the most important one, especially when attending a diverse school such as Brockton High School. The lessons we learned at school have a tremendous impact on the ways in which we prepared for citizenship and on how we learn to take part in civic life of the society into which we are [will be] integrated.

Bu that is neither here nor there. Eventually I reached a conclusion and decided that as my evidence I would choose the Cycle of Socialization.
