Movie Analysis : ' The Video '

In the video “Inclusion, belonging, and the disability revolution” (TEDTalks, 2014), speaker Jennie Fenton opens with describing situations where people with disabilities are segregated and excluded from their communities, sent to live together away from society, or even treated as lesser humans. She then proceeds to introduce her family, including her six-year-old daughter that was diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Jennie admits to previously having negative or frightened thoughts about having a child with a disability, but with her “seven realizations,” she learned that her daughter was merely on a different path than others, but that no one should ever feel broken or not a whole person (TEDTalks, 2014). After she explains that there are roughly one billion people with a disability throughout the world, Jennie states that she believes in possibility over disability. If a person’s

To find that a member a family has learning difficulty is a huge shock for the rest of the family and brings emotions and new challenges. Living with a disabled person can have profound effects on the entire family–parents, siblings(brothers and sisters).For parents, having a disabled child

It is no secret that in the past those with intellectual disabilities have largely been discriminated against. The documentary Is Love Enough by Tom Punchniak gives viewers an eye into the lives of those who have intellectual disabilities. He explores the controversial and extensive issue of those who are disabled but have children. The documentary shows the desires of those with these disabilities and those who want to have and raise children of their own. It also depicts the social barriers they struggle with as they raise children as well as the things that the children suffer when passing their parents mental abilities as they grow.

For my final project I interviewed my mother’s friend Tammy Carnes who’s son is diagnosed with cerebral palsy. During our interview we discussed what it is like we raise a child with a disability, and how the educational system aided in dealing with her child’s everyday needs. After completing this interview I feel a little more understanding of how the parent of said child may feel when dealing with the educational system meeting their child’s particular needs. A high point of the interview was Ms. Carnes’s surprise to the amount of dedication the educational system is making to ensure their teachers are well prepared for the different types of disabilities children may have. A part of the interview that surprised me was how truly patient

Children with disabilities need love, support, and lots of patience. Parents need to feel that they are ready to be part of their children's formation so the instruction provided by the educators can be reinforced at home.

There are several issues related to parental reactions to having a child with a disability. Having a child with a disability can have an effect on family dynamics as well as a change in work habits, some parents have to work fewer hours, change jobs, or become a stay at home parent in order to properly care for their child’s needs. Parents cope with their guilt, feelings, and public reactions

Today there are many different types of disabilities and syndromes. When a parent has a child who is diagnosed with a disability

Hello Tierney, I definitely agree with you regarding the cop analogy that was shown in the YouTube video because I myself liked it myself. I also recall my elementary years having to repeat certain procedures over and over until we got it right. I like that you mention the one “bad apple” because that is exactly how I felt when it was my fault for having to start all over, no kid wants to feel guilty or responsible for being the bad apple so every child will try to get it right so they don’t become the “bad apple”. I was also going to pick your third flip tip you picked because I like the idea of dealing with adolescents as if we were coaches instead of acting like a boss around them. Adolescents don’t like to feel pushed around, so taking

Ordinary is the best and the worst word to describe August 4th, 1992 in Grand Haven, Michigan. Ordinary was the Coast Guard Day festival going smoothly just as it did every year. Ordinary was the townspeople celebrating at the festival or staying home and enjoying their day off. In the Borne house, ordinary was the children watching their cartoons in the living room. It was Carolyn finding some way to occupy her time by cleaning. It was Kevin being the normal workaholic at his desk with the smooth jazz records playing loudly to keep him company. It was Erin starting on her history assignment due the next day, despite having the past two weeks to work on it. What happened that day, though, was decidedly the most unordinary occurrence to

Raising a with a disabled can have profound effects on the entire family. I can recall my mother struggling with the physical, emotional and financial demands associated with raising a disabled child. Despite my brother’s disability he is greatly love by all my family members. However

Sarah and Mike are both parents that are concerned for their baby boy’s quality of life. They are concerned with living with such a severe type of spina bfida due to the disabilities that it will have on their baby boy. Not only will their baby boy be disabled, but it will be challenging to raise a child in a world where there will be other families with children that do not have disabilities. Having a child with a disability can emotionally be hurtful and draining because parents only want what is best for their children and for them to live the most normal lives

As an educator it is important to remember that “in your efforts to partner with families in their child’s learning and development, you are the expert in child development and education, but they are the experts in their child and the child’s disability” (Ray, 2009). Working together with a family allows the professional to understand the overall background of the family and share common interests of the child. Communicate with parents and ask for their help. “In your communications as an educator, include positive comments about the child’s successes and express your respect for the parents’ efforts in helping their child develop as fully as possible” (Ray, 2009). Some ways to communicate with parents is by keep a daily journal of behavior and progress notes to share with the parents, make

In the video, the character we focused is Sheri. She was in the prison and has a crime for murder. She go to jail when she was thirteen and she have to get fined for twenty-eight years in the prison. She lived with her mother and stepfather. They regularly beaten her, that’s why she leave her house and lived on the street. Sheri has no chance to make money, it lead to she going to stole money and sold drug. One times, when she went with her boyfriend and occurs an innocent crime for her. The people that you communicate, the affected to you. Black when near the ink, bright when near the light. Sheri’s story combines all example of sociology, such as: different association, structure train, anomie, strain and labeling. First of all, we need to define what does it means. Edwin Sutherland coined the term differential association to indicate this: From the different groups with which we associate with, we learn to deviate from or conform to society’s norms. More clearly, the different groups with which we associate give us message about conformity and deviance. Base on the Sheri’s story, the evidence support for different association that Sheri is too young, but she already have a boyfriend and she join in her boyfriend’s group. Three more years, she has become an adolescent. Strain refers to the frustrations people feel when they want success but find their way to it blocked. It is easy to identify with mainstream norms (such as working hard or pursuing higher education) when

Part 1 - In American author's 2009 book, The Help, the primary thesis is the relationship between Black maids and white households in Jackson, Mississippi during the early 1960s. The story is really told from three perspectives, Aibileen and Minny are Black women, both maids, and Skeeter is the nickname of Eugenia Phelan, daughter of a prominent White family. Skeeter has just finished school and hopes to become a writer. In general, the relationship between the Black maids and the White employers is six sided: On one side we have the White employers who have three views: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that can range from extreme scorn and bias to kindness regarding race; 2) Their public persona that must have the "proper" attitude about Blacks and "the help," and 3) Their employer attitude, which is condescending and parental. The Black view also has three segments: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that usually range from understanding not all Whites are the same and an extreme love and empathy for the White children for whom they care; 2) The public persona that is deferential, polite, and stoic to their White bosses; and 3) Their attitude and view among the Black community, which usually separates the "poor and ignorant but rich" White souls from the Black view of family and common sense. All in all, the relationship is contentious, phony, and based on economic advantage.

“Four, maybe five… she had blonde hair and was wearing a yellow dress.” Shelia did her best to describe the girl given the information Seth had told her. The woman manning the phone on the other end then recorded the details and informed her that an officer was on his way.
