Dr. Gwyn Jones article has impacted me in several ways as a future physical therapist, when it comes to working with individuals with lifelong disability. One impact it has made was not telling individuals that they will never be able to do something. In this article she mentions how several doctors told her she would never be able to do several things such as walking, but she had the determination and motivation and eventually did. I believe not every disease or condition runs the same course in every individual, and therefore telling a patient they may never be able to do something, could potentially result in them never being able to do an activity, if they don’t have the motivation and belief as Dr. Gwyn. As a future physical therapist

Students at Amherst County High who say teachers lack personality have yet to meet Dr. McFaden. Dr. McFaden is the supervisor for equity assurance and online learning at Amherst County High. Dr. McFaden has a doctorate in Concentration and in MultiCultural Education. She earned her Master's degree from Lynchburg College, two bachelor's degrees from CVCC and her doctorate from UVA. Out of all the colleges she attended, which total twenty four years, Dr. McFaden only paid for one. She said her secret was earning the best grades possible and applying for many scholarships. In fact, Dr. McFaden said that throughout her time at college she only earned one B, and the rest of her grades were A’s.
Beau Fly Jones summarizes Baldwin’s knowledge discussing race relations in America. The intent of this article is to arrange Baldwin’s concepts to show the relation to sociology. The article is divided into multiple sections, “The Problem,” “Negro Opportunity—Structures,” “The Myth,” “Types of Response,” “Negro-White Relations,” and “Evaluation.” Each argues a different matter and that build off each other. Jones’ points out the weaknesses in Baldwin’s writings in a matter to improve the understanding of
This is one of Thad Jones’ most iconic arrangements. Don’t Git Sassy recalls the energetic, hand-clapping tradition of a church camp meeting, and the energy level stays strong throughout. This new edition of Thad’s work is taken directly from the original ink parts Thad handed out to the band in 1967, and from Thad’s original pencil score now housed in the Thad Jones Archive at William Paterson University, where Thad served as Founding Director of Jazz Studies.
How would people act or feel if their body is slowly weakening? Nancy Mairs, The author in the story “On Being A Cripple” shows that being a cripple does not make you different than anyone else. She also shows the reader that discriminating yourself will not just make it worse but it will be a disaster.

She uses many strategies that will make it easy for the readers to understand her essay. Mairs uses vivid descriptions, experience and her emotion to describe her life as
The Medical Model regards disability as an individual problem. It promotes a traditional view of disability, that it is something to be ‘cured’, even though many conditions have no cure. The problem is seen as the disabled person and their impairment, not society, and the solution is seen as adapting the disabled person to fit the non-disabled world, often through medical intervention. Control resides firmly with professionals; choices for the individual are limited to the options provided and approved by the 'helping' expert.
In To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee used Atticus to prove the theme that every individual is unique but, everybody is created as equals and are still huaman during his closing statement to the jury. Defending for Tom Robinson, Atticus starts by “unbuttoned his vest, unbuttoned his collar, loosened his tie, and [taking] off his coat”(1). He shows the jury and the spectators of Maycomb that he has nothing to hide and is willing to preach the truth. Then “he [began] talking to the jury as if they were folks on the post office corner”(2) and was acting as if they were having a friendly conversation. Atticus states that he is “confident that [the] gentlemen [in the jury] would go along with [prosecutor] on the assumption—the evil assumption—that all Negroes lie, that all Negroes are basically immoral beings, that all Negro men are not to be trusted around our women, an assumption one associates with minds of their caliber”(5).
NAFTA, or the North American Free Trade Agreement, is a treaty between the United State, Canada and Mexico; it took 3 U.S. Presidents to put the agreement together. In 1980, President Ronald Reagan initiated the campaign to unite the North America market in order to be more competitive with the European countries. In 1992, President George H.W.

The three countries involved agreed to remove trade barriers between them and set rules and standards for trading. By doing so, it gave them the competitive edge when trading with many different
Society does not seem to realize that just because you're disabled doesn’t mean you are unable they’re absolutely extraordinary people, we just have to give a chance to let them show their true potential. Just because they cannot do something the same as doesn’t mean that they are incapable.
Health promotion has been defined as the process of enabling people to increase control over their health and to improve it. This process requires personal participation and supportive environments. For people with disabilities, however, personal participation is often limited by non-supportive environments. Lack of knowledge on how to modify programs to meet specific needs, poor attitudes, and unfriendly environments often creates insurmountable barriers to participation for many people with disabilities. While innovative medical technology has increased the life span of individuals with disabilities, little attention has focused on improving their health span. The reportedly high incidence of chronic secondary conditions seen in persons

LeAnne, great post! I am particularly drawn to the focus of the shift of healthcare. There are many issues which seem to be coming to the forefront, especially gay rights, marijuana legalization, and woman. In concerns to the gay plight, healthcare may shift to accommodate the needs of Trans gendered individuals. As it stands, transitional costs are not covered by a majority of insurances. This is leading to street hormones, enhancements, and surgeries. This puts many lives in danger and has the potential to destroy their quality of life.
