Kenneth Littleton Crow Able To Throw
Kenneth Littleton Crow, a handicapped comedian, was my favorite comedian from the “Able to Laugh” comedy video. In his skits, Kenneth brings up wheelchair accessibility as well as interactions between disabled and non-disabled people. He jokes about how people do not always want to look at him while talking because they are uncomfortable or, how they do not know what to say to him because they feel bad for him. In the video Kenneth stated, “If they just stopped for a minute and thought well…you know maybe they’re not any different from me” (1:54). I completely agree with his message of breaking down former attitudes, building up feelings of mutual respect, and providing knowledge of life with a disability is like.

    Medicine Ball Throw

    The kneeling down medicine ball throw uses all the muscles in the upper body, and they all play an important part in the throw. The throw is a lot like a two-handed chest pass in basketball where you bring the ball into your chest with both hands and then extend out to throw it forward. After the throw you need to follow through and hit the ground.…

    Becoming Disabled By Rosemarie Garland-Thomas

    Throughout the essay, “Becoming Disabled” by Rosemarie Garland-Thomas, her main claim that she argues is that she wants the disabled community to be politicized in the eyes of society. First, Garland-Thomas talks about politicizing disabilities into a movement. She compares and contrasts movements for race and sexual orientations to the movements about disability (2). Disability movements have not gained as much attention as race or sexual orientation movements because so many Americans do not realize how prominent disability separation is in America. She wants people to start recognizing that disability is just as important as race and other movements. Next, Garland-Thomas speaks about different types of disabilities and how they aren’t always…

    Ableism: Video Analysis

    For example, Naty Rico is a physically disabled Latina woman with ableism. She talks about how she was able to overcome structural barriers which favored able-body people. Her story is very interesting and I give her a lot of credit. After watching her video, I do see things differently that I did not see before and how able-body people usually do not see or are unaware of the struggles and challenges ableism people have to face and go through each day. Usually, people are unsociable who have these sort of disabilities. This is certainly not the case with Naty, who wants to educate her community and others of the challenges she faced with her physical disabilities. I also did realize until now that pity and paternalism are common with people who have ableism. Based on what I have mentioned, this is why people with ableism have constant challenges and impacts facing them daily who are…

    Throwing Like a Girl

    1. Fallow acknowledges the objections of feminists to the phrase “throwing like a girl.” Yet that is not the only derogatory phrase towards women. Activities such as football, hockey and hunting are mainly men’s sports too. It is clear that women gather more negative associations than the male population. Feminists challenge the phrase “throwing like a girl” because it is proven that men and women’s shoulders are aligned similarly and there are no structural differences between them. Boys are taught from a young age the importance of sports and playing ball while girls are not. Feminists argue that there are many women who can throw better than men and that “it’s not gender that makes the difference in how they throw.” (388) In my opinion Fallow does a good job of negating such objections.…

Along with his historical background, a list of books that he has written is provided. Knowing about his previous work, books, and awards provides the readers with a sense of trust in the author.

    Disabilities Act History

    If the American Disabilities Act means anything it means that people with disabilities will no longer be out of mind. The American Disabilities Act is based on a basic presumption that people with disabilities want to work and are capable of working, want to be members of their communities and are capable of being members of their communities and that exclusion and segregation cannot be tolerated. Accommodating a person with a disability is not a matter of charity but instead an issue of civil rights.…

    UNIT 342 Support positive risk taking for individuals

    Once an individual has had a bad experience while carrying out a task, it diminishes their confidence and self-worth and makes the task seem impossible to achieve. When a person who has no perception of disabilities makes an aside of how someone in a wheelchair, for instance, could ever do something like climb a mountain, for the wheelchair user with a low feeling of worth and achievement this sort of comment makes even more of a barrier.…
