The social model suggests that it is the steps that are the issue not the wheelchair, as it is the steps which are disabling the person access, which is seen as a barrier. This model suggests that it is society disabling people through designing everything to meet the needs of the majority of people, who are not disabled. The social model believe that there is a great deal that society can do to reduce and ultimately remove, some of the barriers. This task is the responsibility of society rather then the person, as far as is reasonably practical – which by if it is a big organisation and it is financially possible and financially beneficial, then it would make sense to adapt and make provisions for disabled people to have access for example, wider doors,

All of the experiences Aron faced had a very strong overarching medical model surrounding all of his therapies and hospital stays. Unfortunately the book ends without really getting to see many social model examples. Because the book ends pretty abruptly, it does show flashes of what his life is like now adjusting into society. He talked about all the social support he got through letter, emails, and packages and how much he has adjusted to his new life. His new life had not been without any struggle but he his back to doing what he loves and without medical he would have never made it out of that canon alive.

A geographical perspective can facilitate better understanding of how everyday lived environments are complicit in producing higher rates of obesity and its associated diseases among New Zealanders, particularly in children. Childhood obesity is widely regarded as a significant health concern in New Zealand (NZ), owing to its growing national prevalence, its links to long term ill-health, and high economic burden on the health system. A socio-ecological model can be used to demonstrate how environments, ranging from individual to societal, influence personal behaviours, everyday lifestyle choices and eating patterns that contribute to an increased likelihood of a child being or becoming obese. The socio-ecological model recognises that cultural and societal norms which promote personal responsibility for obesity influences legislative action and more importantly, in-action around excessive unhealthy food availability and marketing. Consequently, the everyday lived environments of children are largely ‘obesogenic’. Specifically, the neighbourhood, school, and home environment will be examined, looking at how they interact with individuals to shape food consumption and physical activity behaviours, the major factors linked to childhood obesity.

Hispanics and Latin-Americans are the largest ethnic minority in the US. They report the lowest amount of leisure-time physical activity (LTPA) with only 26% of them meeting the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, in comparison to 38% of non-Latino whites.

The aim of this study is to explain and examine the social ecological model of PA among Mexican-Americans residing in the US-Mexico border in San Diego, California. The authors hypothesis were the following: (1) adjustment to culture would have a positive impact on LTPA, (2) social relations in the neighborhood would have an impact on neighborhood

I understand the social world model that contains various units from smallest to largest (family members, local communities, large institutions and organizations, social institutions and nations). Each unit has its own structure and characterized by different actions, which is called social processes (socialization, conflict and process of change). Studying these social groups is divided into three levels of analysis: micro, meso and macro, and one problem can be explored at different levels. Social imagination concept is a little confusing to me; I understand that we have to look at the bigger picture and realize that the problem might not be personal, but resulted from public issues and maybe even have explanations on a national level. At

Over the years, the workplace has experienced several instances of discrimination. In attempt to stop the discrimination, Title VII was passed. Although Title VII helped employers in terms of race, color, gender, religion and national origin, those who had disabilities continued to face the frustration of disability barriers in the workplace, given disability was not one of the listed protected classes. Employers abstained from hiring the disabled in fear of them not being able to perform at the same level as the other employees or the attitudes of such employees towards the disabled workers. Of course, there was some legal protection against discrimination: The Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973, but this law only applied to employees

The central value of equality focuses on the attainment of an inclusive society that enables people with disability to reach their potential as equal, active and participating citizens while promoting equality of opportunities, financial stability, accommodation, employment and social participation.
