Disability Revisited Criticizing misrepresentation in media is much like complaining that a desert is too dry; completely obvious and there’s not too much you can do about it. To voice her frustrations, Nancy Mairs composes a very blunt, matter-of-fact, somewhat satirical, essay scolding media for their portrayal of the disabled. Although her position is understandable, her approach in the essay is slightly jumbled. Mairs tends to use too many different emotions to relay information and her opinions to her audience. As an introduction, Mairs attempts to gain sympathy and personal connection with her readers by describing her physical disabilities due to MS (multiple sclerosis).
They assume that I will be like other Department of Children and Families service workers and treat them in a hateful disrespectful manner. But in fact, I am not like that at all, my mother always taught me to treat others like I would like to be treated, and I have lived by this rule my whole life. Those who know me know that I am probably one of the least hateful people you will meet in your life, I do not like conflict, and therefore I try to avoid it at all costs. I consider this stereotype to be very hurtful and it has caused damage to my health in all ways such as overeating, and being depressed all the time. My depression got so bad that at one time in my life all I wanted to do was sleep my life away, luckily the support from my family helped me to realize that I am not a hateful person and that I need not listen this stereotype.
I had an answer, but I struggled terribly with putting it down on paper because I wanted this interview to “be perfect”. I was too worried about what I looked like or sounded like, so ultimately I had lost “my voice.” I went to my dad for more help. I had wasted a whole hour stressing over how to answer a few questions about myself. My dad told me something very important that day, he said, “The best way to impress someone is to be you”. After meditating on what he said to me I had at least something to put down.
When she is called to the stand she is “fragile-looking” and “looked as if she tried to look clean”. This agrees with the readers theory that Mayella is wanting be good, yet she is tainted by her father who “had a scalded look” due to “an overnight soaking”. Again we see that she is different from her despised family as she wants to be clean and noble. As the reader begins to feel that Mayella doesn’t want to punish Tom Robinson we see her “burst into tears” as begins to be questions. This would make some readers feel pity for Mayella as she is lamenting due to horrific flashbacks she may encounter, others may think that this is a cover up as she knows what she is doing is wrong, and she is trying to get the judge and the jury to side with her.
Legal Issues for Business Organization Task 1 Jocelynn A. Hyler, Business Management Western Governors University Author Note 2624 River Meade Way Nashville, TN 37214 There are many employment laws that provide protection to employees as well as their employer. The three I wish to discuss are FMLA (Family Medical Leave Act of 1993), ADEA (Age Discrimination Act of 1967), and the ADA (Americans with Disability Act of 1990).

I got a job and made some decent money so I decided I didn’t care for school. Moving from job to job made me realize that I have to go back to school. I couldn’t go back in time but I can try it now at ITT Tech and now I am even more focused than ever. At least two goals I set in this class are just to show up and do the work. If I show up and do the work, there’s no reason why I can’t pass the class or even get an A for my grade.
