An Analysis Of Bergeron's Handicapping Law
It has become a law because the people in Bergeron's community made the handicapping law and wanted everyone to be equal.

The society has improved when you look at an individual perspective because half of the society is handicapped and people would not be pleased with being able to show their talents like Bergeron. This shows an inequality between the people.

One part of the story that the author exaggerated is when he described Bergeron dancing. I think the author exaggerated on this part because he wanted to give a point to the people not seeing someone dance that great and like Bergeron and the dancing girl just jumped extremely high. One other example is when the author exaggerated when Bergeron takes off his handicap and

    Analysis of Disability by Nancy Mairs

    Nancy Mairs starts her essay by describing herself as a crippled woman with multiple sclerosis. She talks about her condition and how she’s never seen a crippled woman like her in the media. Then she mentions some television shows about disabled people that focus almost entirely on disabilities and neglect the person’s character. Mairs states that although disability changes a lot in one’s life, it doesn’t kill him/her. She for example, can do what every other woman her age can do. And although she’s a great consumer, advertisers never choose someone like her to represent their products publicly; and the reason for that, according to Mairs, is that people cannot yet accept the fact that disability is something ordinary. The consequences of this situation are hash on disable people, for they might feel like they don’t exist. Finally, Nancy Mairs says that anyone might become disabled. But if one sees disability as a normal characteristic then it…

    Proving People With Disabilities In David Birnbaum's Essay '

    In my opinion, David Birnbaum’s essay is convincing due to the fact that it happened to him. The reliance of his personal experience makes the essay vivid with the examples given. His daily encounter with people shows his everyday struggle as a handicapped. David uses his own experience to prove that people with disability can almost get away with anything versus with people who are able. The personal experience makes it easy to understand and is believable.…

    Nancy Mairs

    Mairs has many insightful comments to make about how disability does not fit well in our youth-oriented, physical-fitness-obsessed culture, and on how social expectations influence whether she adapts or fails to adapt. She also understands what is at stake for the medical professionals who care for her: "I may be frustrated, maddened, depressed by the incurability of my disease, but I am not diminished by it, and they…

    In reading the three articles, “From Degrading to De-Grading” by Alfie Kohn, “And Now He is Nothing” by Michael Specter and “Dilma Rousseff” by Simon Romero my impressions of each article varies from one of unbelief to affirmation. As compelling as the ideology of not grading is, the practicality of implementation would be enormous. The assumption that Lance Armstrong is now nothing can it really be so easily dismissed? Finally, Dilma Rousseff rise to power as a right of previous wrongs remains to be seen; each writer conveying a very persuasive argument.…

    Athletic Meritocracy

    This athletic meritocracy reflects the system we see in place of society - those who exemplify certain qualities, such as teamwork, problem solving, and communication, are more likely to be rewarded with employment or promotions. If certain applicants were to use other advantages to obtain these positions, it would be seen as cheating the system and unfair to other vying for the job. Therefore, enhancements to improve capability would be frowned upon or discriminated against, to encourage…

    Harrison Bergeron

    In the short story, “Harrison Bergeron,” published in 1961, Kurt Vonnegut Jr. discusses equality in America in 2081. His story places you into a world where everyone is made equal in every way. Anyone with talents, like beauty, strength, and higher mental capacity are made handicapped by wearing massive weights, thought scattering headsets, and masks. These handicaps were set in place to create an equal world within the United States. While creating an equal society though, they are holding people back from their true potential. I believe Vonnegut is showing how if society were equal, like in his story, people would be held back from their natural gifts.…

    Arguments Against Impairment Disability

    Society comprises individuals and communities of remarkable diversity. In addition to racial, ethnic, social, economic, and religious differences, people also have physical differences, which include a wide spectrum of abilities. Along this spectrum lie a range of impairments, or disabilities, and to fully understand the implications of impairment and disability, it is important to define the two terms. In an effort to accomplish this, and to illustrate two opposing views on impairment and disability, the ideas of artist-activist Liz Crow and film director-producer Josh Aronson will be examined. In doing so, the argument will be made that in order to move toward a society where prejudice and barriers no longer…

    Laws have been enforcing discrimination by making sure that all races have the same opportunity at a job. This is the civil rights act and it was made so that blacks and other races could all have a fair chance at a job and could not be rejected because of their race. If a black person would try to get a job and not get hired but a white person goes in and has everything the same as the black person but gets hired the black person can take that company to court for discrimination. These laws where intended for all racial minorities so everyone has the same opportunity.…

    Social Participation Frame Of Reference (FOR)

    The book stated the need for children with disabilities to gain social competence. It also stated that this skill will help children with disabilities to gain acceptance from their peers which will further allow them to develop friendships. This concept to me is not stated correctly, in that I find it a little insulting. I think society need to shift their focus from doing whatever it take to “fix” people with disabilities to the focus of also teaching typical children without disabilities to learn to accept and socialize with other children unlike themselves. I truly believe that as a society we can benefit from interacting with people who are different from us. The book also stated the important of the problem I mentioned above , which is the integration of children with or without disabilities to engage in the classroom together and to learn about the different disabilities. By so doing, I believe that society can slowly but surely change all the ugly perceptions about children with disabilities and kill all the misconceptions and stereotypes. As a future Occupation therapist, I can help advocate on this matter by educating my clients, running a group about the topic or make brochures to bring attention to the…
