The Struggle of Pity What is pity? Pity is simply the concern aroused by the misfortune or suffering of others.

Hi Malungia! I’m sitting in an old house that was bought by my Uncle Ethelbert Anderson and family more than seventy years ago. Somehow I am a descendant of that illustrious family who lived rather prosperously‚ or so we thought‚ during the segregation era.

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"?

religion is examples of things that help me define my culture. Celebrating holidays in my family are really interesting because it’s women against men when we all get together. Being a black person and celebrating holidays probably has more meaning of love to it than any other race due to our history as black people. Even though the women and men in my family compete to see who’s the best cook or who makes the best drinks it’s always love involved. My family is very unique and has a strong bond mostly
