These are innocent people who had such a life ahead of them and had it so abruptly taken from their hands. Something needs to be done and it needs to happen soon. Many people have lost loved ones due to drunk driving, I know I almost did, but she was lucky enough to live. Another fact that I found truly astonishing is that the south had more fatalities each year due to drunk drivers then the north. Maybe that is because a lot of southerners like to have a cold beer on the weekends after a long work week, but they forget to leave their stupid butts where they are at instead of trying to drive home even when they know they can’t.
Mairs explains “If you saw my blind niece ordering a Coke would you switch to pepsi lest you be struck sightless?” this is an accurate respresentation of how people seem to react when they see any person with any type of a disability. I have witnessed such reactions many times. My boyfriend’s of three years father lost his leg because of an infection caused from diabeties. He is in and out of a wheelchair and uses a prostectic leg the other. I have been on many outings such as dinners, weddings and beach days with his father there.
Further damage to his trust happened when a member of his family died in hospital, they contracted MRSA while being treated for a broken leg in 2004. Self-diagnose and self-prescribe with the help of the internet is now the only form of medical attention he receives.

Understanding own Role, Responsibilities & Boundaries of the Role in Relation to Teaching. Its important to note and accept that the styles of teaching and learning are many and diverse. Consequently it is imperative that in my role as a trainer that I realise that what constitutes good teaching and good learning can vary at any given time. Different groups learn in different ways and at different rates dependant on many factors. For example what makes for stimulated learning for an adolescent may not satisfy the needs of an adult learner whose frame of reference has been developed by lifetime experiences.
There is simply not enough prison cells. Husak also argues on this point, based on principle, that criminal punishment is designed to stigmatize, but it is impossible to stigmatize against behavior that is practiced widely. Sigma, Husak argues, is supposed to presuppose deviance, not normalcy. The majority cannot be deserving of stigma. A further reason for one to doubt that drunk driving is a serious offence is that Per se laws establish an arbitrary point, below which there is no liability at all.
There are several members of my extended family that suffer from alcoholism; looking at their family history and upbringing there would be no indication that alcoholism would be in their future. For instance, my brother who is twenty-six years of age began excessively drinking at the age of twenty. My father suddenly passed away in 2006 which began his issues with alcohol abuse. My parents and brother were coming home from his high school graduation when my father had a massive heart attack causing them to have a car accident. Each member of my family coped
Another motorist stops to help and tells you, “I was behind your car for a few miles, I saw the whole thing happen. Your vehicle flipped 2 times, landed on its’ top and skidded for several feet.” This scenario actually happened to me in 1996 near Boise, Idaho. What I didn’t know was the reason my friend had fallen asleep at the wheel was because he was drunk also. He’d had several shots over the course of the night and hadn’t bothered to tell me before we started our trip home. He not only put his life in danger but mine as well.

Right after I turned nine years old, my dad was killed in a car accident. He was a police officer and someone ran a stop sign and hit his police car. This has to be the worst thing that ever happened to me. I no longer had two parents, I just had one, my mom. My mom and Ms. Terri became very close after my died.
