The social rights of the disabled persons having employment and other benefits should be part of their professional career. ‘Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA) is one of federal law to incorporate disabled person’s rights in the society. ADA outlaws the practices of the discrimination on the bases of disability’. ‘ADA encompasses not only physical disabilities, but also mental disabilities’. ‘The disabilities such as deafness, loss of sight, a cerebral infirmity, partially or fully missing limbs or mobility deficiencies necessitating the use of a wheelchair, autism, tumor, intellectual palsy, diabetes, human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), multiple sclerosis, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, obsessive compulsive syndrome, and schizophrenia, kleptomania, pedophilia, exhibitionism, voyeurism, and so on’.
To understand how literature accurately reflects the human condition, you must first understand what the human condition is, and, of course, how it is affected. Essentially, the human condition is; “The characteristics, key events, and situations which compose the essentials of human existence, such as birth, growth, emotionality, aspiration, conflict, and mortality.” The human condition is commonly defined as the positive or negative aspects of being human, such as birth, growth, reproduction, love, and death. The human condition is, concisely, what events of your life, what has affected you to make you unique, idiosyncratic.
The novel Flowers for Algernon written by Daniel Keyes effectively explores the complex human experiences of disability and the impact that it has on individuals and society through its three major themes; Self-realisation , Alienation and loneliness and treatment of the mentally disabled by society. Through these themes this response will highlight the difficulties experienced by people with disabilities and the people in their lives. The first theme in Flowers for Algernon is self-realisation. Charlie’s new found knowledge has allowed him to have the ability to voice his needs and wants for understanding, acceptance, and love.
Fundamentally, the DPM defines adaptive coping as involving alternation between loss- and future-orientations, between approach and avoidant coping, and between negative and positive reappraisals. Thus, the DPM specifies the major adaptive tasks associated with bereavement, specific cognitive processes associated with each adaptive task, and describes what “effective” coping might look like in this context. DPM, known for its characteristic pattern of oscillation, is helpful in explaining adjustment to bereavement and may be helpful as identifying adaptive coping. This model can also be used to depict the coping approaches used by young adults in handling their daily stressors
Indeed, Phillips, (1992), addresses this complexity by describing vulnerability as an attribute of the total person-environment interaction, encapsulating ideas on rights, capacities and risks. Copp (DATE), argues that being unwell and in need of nursing or less than fully able and in need of care makes individuals increasingly vulnerable. These factors threaten independence, limit choice, deny individuality and, " damage our humanity," (p258), as we become increasingly dependent on others as they control, "the presence and absence of what is needed." (p258). This is because the freedoms, respect, dignity and integrity that society still allows illness and disability, (REF socisl model), to detract from, are crucial for human development and fulfilment.
Shifting from viewing disability in binaries like good v. bad or helpful v. hindering, aids people to empathize with one’s disability experience. Disability should be viewed as just another aspect of difference or diversity and not just an aspect of deficiency. The individuals with disabilities live complex lives and have many layers to them just as any other person, thus, it is extremely ignorant to only define an individual by their disability. Yet, it was intriguing for me to read in the text that this action of labeling people by their disabilities is being taken back by that very same community but as a empowerment movement. It is essential to understand where the power goes and when the power is back in the hands of a marginalized group, they have more control over their own lives.
It basically involves the identification of problems and needs of the people and relating these problems to the factors related with the person and his environment. Rehabilitation is not only restricted to the narrow boundaries of physical disease but also deals with the consequences of disability which can be psychological in nature .These consequences may affect the personal and social environment in which the disabled person has to function. It is different from most of the medicine as it cannot be carried out by medical practitioners alone but also requires the active partnership of a wide range of health professionals and social workers. Rehabilitation, thus includes not only the training of persons with disabilities but also provides intervention for adaptation in the environment, general systems of society and for the protection of human rights.
The problems within religion and morality can be dated back as far as the Abrahamic faiths and Greek philosophy. Both of them have individual meanings but when linked together can be similar in some senses although causing complications. Using the philosophy of Immanuel Kant, Rudolf Otto and Soren Kierkegaard this essay has analysed the problematic relationship between religion and morality. Although both of them have a close relationship and that their relationship opposes many challenges we can notice that religion is supported by morality because we know that humans have a tendency to be evil. Kant made a clear point that the heart of religion is morality.
Section1 Discuss discrimination, exclusion Introduction Discrimination, exclusion and vulnerability are intertwined social complication that the world is facing and by any means trying to resolve. People are discriminated against in working areas, communities and other public areas, exclusion is also brewed by discrimination because immediately people are discriminated they become excluded from the society, vulnerability comes in because now people are no longer part of the society they then become endangered and exposed to the worlds obstacles by themselves. Discrimination Discrimination is the treatment or the consideration of, or making distinction in favour or against a person or thing based on the category to which a person or thing belongs. Discrimination comes in many forms namely, age, gender, disability, ethnicity, religion and more. It is direct and indirect and these aspects will discussed below.
Disability is one of the many things that we all face every day in one way or another. Our attitudes towards it can be affected by multiple models whether that be via family/friends, the media, or a personal experience and sometimes via assumptions we make without realising it or whether we know those assumptions to be true or not. My personal attitudes towards people with disabilities have been shaped by family, personal experiences and especially via the media. Media The media is a universal tool that we all use, it can provide information to us and it can also shape our opinions on different topics.
As stated above, some of stereotypes represented through Artie’s character is pity and heroism. It is anticipated that the media will one day the representation of the disabled
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has been used to promote learning and change of behavior using basic principles of behavior analysis. One of the most common applications of ABA is in the field of Autism and Developmental Disabilities. There are individuals who strongly advocate for bringing change through ABA, while there are others who are strongly opposed to it. In this assignment, you will describe both sides of the argument.
When we talk about race, gender, sexual orientation and class issues, we implied that something was not conformed to the norms. I feel it’s critical to understand the social norms people hold. It’s amazing that only human beings are capable of elaborate symbolic communication and of structuring their behavior in terms of abstract preferences that we have called values. Norms are the means through which values are expressed in behavior. Norms generally are the rules and regulations that groups live by.
I 'm not sure if this site is outdated, but I would say it sure could use some serious updating. I see evidence and willingness to provide disabled people help or help them get the needed help they are seeking from the DAN site by the different links associated with the actual site and the 1-800 number provided to answer questions. The people affected by a disability are of course the disabled person, the family, and the caregivers who provide treatment to the disabled individuals. The warrants are that society standards also hold freedom, justice equality, and protecting our vulnerable (Social Problems Page
