The National Anthem was made to symbolize our independence after a war. This wouldn’t have happened if the soldiers didn’t fight for our freedom. Kneeling and locking arms during the National Anthem is disrespectful because it desrespects the U.S. soldiers‚ sets a bad example for the younger generations‚ and disrespects the flag. Everyday‚ U.S. soldiers are in danger‚ risking their lives so we the people can live our lives the way we do. This song honors all the soldiers who ever served and their

After reading chapter 1 from the book No Pity by Joseph P. Shapiro‚ I am intrigued by how the society has formed the norms‚ "labels" and characteristics for others. What is the actual definition of disabilities? Is there any limitation on what types of physiological and psychological behavior/characteristics to be considered as "disability"?
