Bias And The Law Analysis

Page two gave powerful insight into some of the myths, facts, biases, and perceptions the disabled/abled people have to deal with in their daily lives. It had the reader make list of assumptions about people with disabilities, then test these assumptions for accuracy. It had the reader make a list barriers that people assume about people with disabilities. The puzzle about Erik Weihenmayer, and his many achievements, did a wonderful job at making the reader think twice about that list of barriers.

The Holocaust is a well known genocide in European History. Due to of the mature nature and gory subject of the Holocaust, it is a very controversial subject to be taught in schools. Some people say that the Holocaust shouldn’t be taught in schools, while others says it should but only to a certain degree. There should be lots of preparation in teaching students about the Holocaust. They should be prepared for the details they will learn and be mature enough to deal with these details. The Holocaust is an important subject to be taught in schools, because it teaches students valuable morals, helps them explore themselves, and it is important for people to learn from history.

Jerry Kang’s Ted Talk and his article “Implicit Bias in the Courtroom” link implicit and explicit bias to attitudes and behaviors. Implicit bias was the primary focus for both, and in his study he was able to measure implicit bases and how if effects behavior by using the Implicit Association Test (IAT). He argues that implicit bias seems to predict to some degree our attitudes and behavior towards other people. In his article, he explains two situation, criminal and civil employment, cases within a courtroom where bias leading up to sentencing, plea deals, hiring, and verdict are all impacted by the implicit bias of the judge and the jury. To begin his argument he demonstrates how police encounters, charging and plea deals, trials, and sentencing are all affected by implicit bias. Police encounters are affected by implicit bias because the associations

To have a sound footing this memo, it will be pertinent for me to start off by elucidating on the main concepts in the question- inclusion and anti- oppression. “The essence of oppression is enforced exclusion from desirable opportunities and experiences. Correspondingly, the essence of anti-oppression is inclusion”. Simply put, the concept of inclusion stipulates that people from different social, economic, cultural, religious standing are allowed the opportunity to uninhibitedly involve in all aspects of their community where they will have the opportunity to be involved in deciding matters that affect them, directly or indirectly. This type of gesture is an eloquent expression of a show of equity and social justice in any society that practices

Early in our history, the societal notion of eugenics in reference to disability, a theory that lends to the belief that persons with disabilities will only give birth to babies with disabilities, spawned the practice of involuntary sterilization (Harader, Fullwood, & Hawthorne, 2009). The aim of the eugenics movement in the United States during the first half of the twentieth century was to prevent the degeneration of the white race (Stubblefield, 2007). Forcibly, many individuals with disabilities were sterilized in residences of institutions. American eugenics refers inter alia to compulsory sterilization laws adopted by over 30 states that led to more than 60,000 sterilizations of disabled

Gary R. Howard’s “We Can’t Teach What We Don’t Know” offers an insightful look into multicultural education and the ways in which white educators can, and should, consider the diversity within their classrooms as a necessary part of the learning process. Although an admittedly difficult topic, the author strives to help the reader understand the problem of diversity in our schools and the ways in which our approach to educating multiracial students can help or hinder students. This report seeks to provide an overall review of the book and a discussion of the positive and negative aspects of the opinions presented.

Now that what I have learned from SED 125 has been dicussed, I’ll move to how this all changed how I think now. When I learned about the impact ableism has on people within a society that have a disability it really interested me. I took the knowledge that I learned about ableism and created a Civic Engagement letter for my First Year Seminar. I created a letter that address three different school districts RSU 40, RSU 13, and RSU 28 Special Education Departments, about bringing some alleviation of the ill effecfs of discrimination. The letter states that with the new knowledge I learned of UDL and Inclusive Education may allow teachers and faculty members alike to stop and think before they become the “ Tiny Tims or the Super Crips” in an educational society and create an environment of striving for fullest potential of each child.

In this case the larger role to achieving equity would be not depriving children with disabilities of the example and stimulation provided by high achievers which assigns them to low-achievement due to low expectations. Children with disability under this type of grouping will always be labeled as low achievers and be grouped as slow students. Once categorized, they generally stay at that level for their school careers, and the gap between achievement levels becomes exaggerated over time. The notion that students ' achievement levels at any given time will predict their achievement in the future becomes a self-fulfilling

Bias is prejudice about someone or something which has been created based on incomplete information. More often bias has a negative effect as it affects other people, our way of thinking that could be driven into stereotypes frame. Every day we face with a huge number of biases and some of us even do not know about the existence of them. If it gets to that point when something suffers from it, people need to overcome biases. There are a lot of examples of biases in our world. It is everywhere. An example of bias can be found in politics and media. Frequently politicians feel that the press is biased toward them in an unfair way. On January 20, 2017, a reporter from the magazine “Time” falsely reported President Trump removed the bust of Martin Luther King from the Oval Office. This information was quickly spread. Then further investigations reveal that the bust was still there but it was

Previous studies have shown its implication to the phenomenon of self-serving bias.
