SOLID discussions cover but are in no way restricted to the following topics, which serve to start broader conversations:

​

• It's not just black and white: the spectrum of melanin and of privilege

• Being transgender in 2016: at single sex schools, coed schools, in college

• Hook up culture at NYC prep schools: gender dominance, age, sexuality, inebriation, expectations, racial aspects

• Religion: religous outlook

• Socio-economic diversity and disparity in the inter-school: how wealth plays out both in and out of school

• Alcohol and Drug Culture in NYC

• Social standards of beauty and body image: media impact, how it plays out for different genders

• If it’s not yours, put it down: cultural appropriation

• Gender fluidity and proper gender pronoun

• Disability: physical and visible, mental and invisible: how can schools better address the discussion surrounding ability?

• Mental illness: why is it overlooked and how can we fix this?

• Reparations: are "reparations" for any particular marginalized group an answer?

• Politics: inter-school culture surrounding liberals, democrats, conservatives, republicans, and those who are “socially liberal” but “fiscally conservative” — debates that arise from these political opinions: ex— gun control, freedom of speech, abortion, climate change

• Martin vs Malcolm: ways to approach change, revolution, insurrection, and rebellion against injustice

• Sexuality: LGBTQ+ in the inter-school, at coed schools, at single sex schools, when deciding where to go to college

• The working world: the responsibility of the employer to ensure a work environment which is bias-free and inclusive for all employees

• Media: how cultural influences (television, magazines, etc.) make whiteness and heterosexuality the norm and people of color “the other”

• Stereotypes: "The problem is not that they are untrue but that they are incomplete. They make one story the only story." - Chimamanda Ngozie Adichi

• And anything else we want to talk about; we are always open to new ideas and we embrace new discussional opportunity
