English Question

The purpose of this assignment is to learn from the lived experiences of others with disabilities, while reflecting on ones own experiences and biases. Students will begin by reading or watching autobiographical accounts of people with disabilities (U.S. and Global) and document similarities/differences between these accounts on selected topical domains noted below. As you learn about disabled peoples lived experiences, you will begin to think about your own life experiences and how they compare/contrast, reflecting on your own biases and assumptions as you learn about others experiences.

that you must use for this assignment. The entire assignment will be approximately 3-5 pages.

Part 1 (First Person Accounts): After reading or watching autobiographical accounts of people with disabilities (US and Global), describe how these first-person accounts fit into your understandings from class discussions around discrimination, marginalization, and stigmatization of disability. First, describe which accounts you read and/or watched. Be sure to address at least two identities (race, class, gender, or SES), focusing on how intersections between identities affect the lived experiences of disabled people. Provide some examples from course materials to support your thinking. Please cite sources parenthetically using APA style and include sources in the references page at the end of the assignment. Make sure at least one of your stories is US-based, and one is global.

Part 2 (Comparison & Reflection): Using the chart below, compare and contrast your own life experiences with those from individuals with disabilities based on the first-hand accounts you explored above. Your comparison should focus on at least 3 of several possible domains including: Independent Living; Friendships/Social Supports; Sexuality; Health Care Access; Physical Access/Mobility; Employment; Adulting/Decision-Making; Gender/Race/Age; Other. You can complete the chart just as the example shows below–it is included in the APA-formatted template.

Domains	U.S. Account	Global Account	Your Experience
Independent Living	From the video X, Stacy lives in a residential home with other adults with disabilities. Its great that she is out of her home and that she has some control of some of her own decisions but I see that there are still care-takers who live in the home to take care of things that the others cannot do independently.	In the reading from X, Mariela lives with her mother as she cannot take care of some basic needs. She can bath and feed herself but because of her disability she cannot earn a living or take care of shopping, preparing foods, etc. to live independently.	As reflect on my own life, Ive come to understand that one freedom I have as a person without a significant disability is that I can live independently. Even though I have roommates, I can choose to live with others or by myself where the other accounts they do not appear to have this option as adults.
Friendships/Social Supports
Sexuality
Health Care Access
Mobility/Physical Access
Employment
Adulting/Decision Making
Identity: Gender/Race/Age, etc.

Part 3 (Assumptions & Biases): After completing Parts 1 and 2, conclude with a written reflection describing what assumptions or biases you had going into the reading/viewing and how your views have changed after reading/watching first-hand accounts in light of your own lived experiences. What do you now understand that you did not understand before? What surprised you, and how do those surprises reveal biases you may not have realized you had? Please cite sources parenthetically using APA style and include sources in the references page at the end of the assignment.
