    In her essay, "On Being a Cripple", Nancy Mairs reflects on her life as a "cripple" due to multiple sclerosis (MS). It is truly admirable how she is able to remain in such a positive attitude despite her unfortunate consequences. Instead of asking for people's sympathy, Mairs wanted herself to be identified as a cripple instead of a handicapped or disabled person. She even believed that her condition helped to enrich her life and define the person she is. It is truly remarkable how she can face such an event with so much courage and confidence. Her essay certainly teaches a lesson about how one should not feel sorry for his/her disadvantages, but rather live it to the fullest…

    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…

    When an emergency occurs people almost have the same reaction. And to intervene is not one of them. People often pretend like nothing is happening. They figure it isn?t any of their business. In an article titled ?Why People Don?t Help in a Crisis? by John Darley and Bibb Latene they explain why people don?t involve themselves when emergencies occur. They gave three reasons why people why people react the way they do. As Americans we have been taught to respect the privacy of others. We fear that we might look like fools if we do help. If we do decide to help we well make little to no difference. Darley and Bibb also give examples on how to help the situation.

Intersectionality is a term coined by Kimberle Crenshaw (1989), an American professor and noted that feminist theory focused on white, middle-class females and it disregarded different groups of women who have different ‘layers’ of life to contend with. A modern example how this issue has changed and progressed in the last 30 years is Dame Tanni Grey- Thompson. She is an 11 gold Paralympian who, through her determination in the face of her disability, Spina Bifida has made her an international sporting hero and increased awareness of Paralympic…

    When mentally unstable people interact with the world, many tend to put on a mask in order to cover up their true feelings while having an inclination to distance themselves from the stigma that society has constructed and associated with mental illness. Firstly, the health of an individual is not limited to the physical aspects which others can interpret and comment on, but rather a larger part of an individual’s health is provided by cognitive process derived from one’s mental health. This is reiterated by the fact that approximately 10.1% of the Canadian population were qualified as having a mental disorder by the Canadian Community Health Survey – Mental Health (Insert In Text Citation). To link a connection between these individuals with a mental disorder and as well-being unfit is possible, though to say that each and every one of these individuals are deemed unfit is unreasonable and highly improbable as these mental disorder patients are also made up of athletes who make a living of high risk and extremely stressful situations where one mistake can lead to the detrition of a career and would conform to a bias of…
