An Essay About Mental Disabilities And Court Cases

Douglas C. Baynton argues in his article, “Disability and the Justification of Inequality in American History”, that the concept of disability is culturally constructed and has been paid little to no attention to throughout history. He also argues that the term disability plays an important role in justifying discriminations against minority groups, based on gender, race, and ethnicity. He states that “Disability has functioned historically to justify inequality for disabled people themselves, but it has also done so for women and minority groups. That is, not only has it been considered justifiable to treat disabled people unequally, but the concept of disability has been used to justify discrimination against other groups by attributing disability to them.” (Baynton 94) He used women’s suffrage, African American freedom, and immigration restriction as examples to show how disability played an essential role in illustrating how minorities who were labeled as disabled were treated with discrimination. As they were labeled with disability, discrimination against them became justifiable, which ultimately proves that discrimination against disabled was thought as justifiable and were looked over.

Usability is a critical portion of web design that one must be ever mindful of when constructing websites. Whether creating a personal web space or building multiple pages for a large corporation, it is the burden of the designer to guarantee people can access that content. According to the United Nations, disabled people compose roughly 10 percent of the world’s population (United Nations, 2010). Many regulations and standards have been set forth to provide disabled people with the same opportunities to access content available on the World Wide Web, as it is most of the World’s population.

Many times women and men participate in actions that are against the law. These people are sent to prison or sent to behavioral centers in order to serve their time for the crime committed.

After watching videos on mental health courts, I will discuss what happened, how I felt about it, and what I learned from the videos.

As stated by the founding fathers of America “All men are created equal.” Black, white, brown, short, tall, smart, and dumb, all are created equally. Therefore every person deserves fair judgement. Unfortunately, it is a profound fact that not everyone is born normal and capable of task typical for a common person, who is free from disability. In my opinion, the quote “All men are created equal” serves to promote a friendly environment that helps encourage equality among people and aids to recognize the similarities rather than the differences that separates men. Even so, with this hope, the disabled community still struggles for equality. According to Legal Rights by the National Association of the Deaf (NAD), “Almost 10 percent of all

This paper will specifically focus on a case involving an intellectually disabled adult female who was reported to be experiencing sudden onset shortness of breath. Upon arrival of EMS, the patient’s caretaker escorted the responding personnel to a back room where the patient was sitting upright in bed and appearing cyanotic throughout the face. Upon initial assessment, it was determined that the patient was both pulseless and apneic indicating the need to begin immediate resuscitation efforts. This patient was transported under the strong suspicion that she was suffering from a pulmonary embolism which resulted in cardiac arrest. Care of this patient was transferred at the hospital where resuscitation efforts were continued by emergency room staff with no success. The ultimate goal of this report is to discuss the pulmonary circuit as well as the implications of impaired circulation within the lungs. This case study also aims to identify key clinical findings of pulmonary embolisms and signs of deterioration in an effort to help improve prehospital recognition within the EMS community.

Living with disabilities on a daily basis can be more difficult then some realize. Many people who are born with developmental disabilities start their education and therapy at a very young age and there are also those people who have been diagnosed with a disability sometime during their lifetime. But what is there for them to do once they have graduated from high school or are told they are too old to continue in a regular school or they are simply told they aren’t accepted in the “normal” community?

According to National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), an IEP, or Individualized Education Program, is “a written statement for each individual with a disability that is developed, reviewed, and revised in accordance with Title 42 U.S.C. Section 1414(d).” (NAEP Glossary) Each source I studied stressed the concept of “individualized” plans because each program is tailored to specifically meet the needs of that particular student through a series of assessments, meetings and medical diagnoses. Recognizing that the content of the IEP is legally binding, it’s important to ensure that what is included in the IEP safeguards the needs of the student and that the student needs are

The legal application is based on the “Mental Impairment and Criminal Responsibility” under Criminal Code. It is a fundamental rule of the Canadian Criminal Code that an accused must be capable enough to form rational understanding over the consequences of his conduct in order to establish the guilt of the offence. There must be a factor of “appreciation” on the committed acts or conducts for a purpose to get matching of such act or conducts with behavior (Roach and Bailey, 2009). For instance: accused can have mental disorders in order to form believe of his action. In other words, the person must suffer from mental illness where he does not get understand the consequences of the wrong actions. Such wrong action of the accused is determined
