Unit 26 Caring for Individual with Additional Needs P3. Explain barriers which may be experienced by individuals with additional needs. In this task I am going to explain the barriers that are experienced by individuals with additional needs in their every day life. Individuals with disabilities are often treated as less human than those who do not have a disability such as people at school or colleges insulting and bullying disabled people because they are unable to do things like participating in the sports if they are the wheel chair users, or they may be bullied because they behave and understand things differently from everyone else. They can also be discriminated against by people overwhelming them too much.
1, 2, Societal attitudes and beliefs can impact individuals with sensory loss in quite a negative way because people in society can be very judgmental towards people with disabilities, and put them in a group of people with below average intelligence and assume they can’t do or think the same way as other people without disabilities can. People in society can also be very prejudice and ignorant and think they are better than people with sensory loss, also thinking it gives them the right to make fun at them and making life difficult in the process. Although not all people think the same way there are many other people in society that are very open towards individuals with disabilities and sensory loss and can be very helpful and kind, this can have a positive impact on people’s lives. 1, 3, There are a range of factors that societal attitudes and beliefs impact on service provisions, discrimination is one of the biggest problem in today’s society , people with sensory loss are treated differently, and there a lot of barriers that need to be overcome, service provision is a term used to describe a wide range of activities, including the provision of assistive devices, rehabilitation services, occupational therapy and health services. Although there are a lot of places like this there is still the need to raise awareness so
Social life is even harder when a child is considered, or in some cases even labeled, an “outsider.” Being an outsider can mean that the child, boy or girl, speaks a different language, is the new kid in town, or even dresses differently. Growing up with a disability, a person is automatically labeled as an “outsider,” because they are different and in many cases require certain accommodations that others do not need. When kids are young they do not quite grasp the concept of what is wrong and what is right. Making fun of others for having a disability such as being deaf is wrong, but the younger kids are the crueler they could be. McElroy confirms this by stating that “society is brutal to those who are different.” Without speaking would be hard for Gauvin to make friends when conversation is hard for him to communicate with other kids and understand them.
It could be for not wearing the right clothes, having the wrong hair color or even having your own opinion. Being different is dangerous today in our society, because you will get stamped as the “weird girl/boy.” If you try to raise your head above the others, you will get it chopped off. Being different is hard since people do not accept knowledge or something out of the ordinary. People want to fit in and that is why a lot of people in our society are the same. Go against the flow.
Mr. O 3/4/13 Period 9 Thematic Essay Poverty is something that affects many people and may result in making bad choices. In the short story Cordelia the Crude, by Wallace Thurman poverty is a main problem in the story. Throughout the story many decisions Cordelia made were probably because she didn’t have the best opportunities. Even though the author didn’t say poverty was a problem it was an underlining cause. Since Cordelia didn’t have the best home life prostitution was a way for her to maybe feel loved and that she was wanted.
As expressed by Dr. Leary, most African Americans seem to have internalized a sense of shame and believe that they are not good enough. An individual with such low self-esteem and self-worth ability to function in society is therefore lessened. This internalized sense of shame led most black people to look down on their own appearance. When an individual has strong black features such as a big nose, full lips, defined facial structure, kinky hair and dark skin, they are generally not considered attractive by other blacks. Dating back to slave days, when the lighter skinned slaves (women) were used as house slaves and darker skinned slaves were sent to work outdoors.
SLAVERY The historical diaries on slaves and how they were treated are not right. You can learn so many things from these diaries not just about slaves but the headmasters and abolitionists and what they went through with the slaves. You also learn that masters were abusing slaves and slaves did whatever their masters told them to do and the abolitionists where there to help them as much as they could such as freedom. Most slaves were probably more passive than active because they did not want to die all they wanted was freedom so why would they do something that has more consequences than from just slowing down on their work and getting whipped. The slave girl was really suffering in her story about what happened to her.
Sometimes the masters would let others whip the person so the beatings were not consistent. Slaveholders did not have much compassion for the slaves and are often cruel and
However, at one point slavery was abolished in one side were as in the other side it was still approve. Certain slaves did not have a great life they were not being treated as they deserve. Slaves were often hurt, not given enough food and were being separated from their loved ones. Where as other slaves were living lives with a little bit more freedom and benefits. For instance some of the slaves had the
This led to their being numerous different beliefs and cultures (languages) which resulted in a lot of disagreement between slaves. It lowered likeliness for them all to organize a mass revolt together as, they couldn’t communicate effectively with each other. Ultimately, this division in religion and culture shows that violence was not always needed. The slave groups were weaker and smaller and therefore they were less of a threat to their master as they could be dealt with
