Ahmed Disability

Not everybody is born with a difference in their life that would effect how they move around, or think, or even talk. There shouldn't be hate across the world from people because they're disabled in any sort of way,they're no different from anyone else or yourself.

There are a lot of hateful words that could hurt anybody's feelings, one that i've heard used in a bad way is ,"cripple". Usually meaning they're disable like they can't walk. Even though someone isn't capable of acheiving what others can do, there's no need to put them down in some way where it makes yourself feel much better that you are not like them. All thats going to come from is that he'll start hating himself, thinking he's some kind of alien, and just gives up at a point.

But through all these dreadful words, no one should ever believe or listen to what others say, unless its an encouragement of some sort. You should be confident and believe in yourself, and how would you feel yourself if people were pointing and laughing at you. Everyone of your friends should be helping and supporting eachother all the way through life.

Case Study: Ahmed Disability

Ahmed's disability is nothing to make fun of. Even if he is slow in doing things that other students are doing, he is still trying and I feel he needs help. I don't think the people that bullied him didn't have an understanding of how hard it was to work as quickly as the others. They are not showing respect for Ahmed and making him feel bad. I would say the equity shown here is discrimination and prejudice against handicap and disabled people.

The friend should not be putting down Ahmed for his disability. They should of encouraged him more, he would have had more confident in himself. Discrimination against disabled and handicapped people is a very serious issue. There are still some disabled people who can do the same as what regular people can do, even more. Most people in the world don't discriminate handicap or disabled people as much, because they now there situation and they know they can't do some things like they can do in life.

I think a way of helping Ahmed be a more confident person of himself is buy encouraging him alot. I would encourage him as much as I can and tell him not everyone is perfect and everbody is born with a problem, even the richest guy in the world. His classmates should encourage him to do really good and be with him when he is in aide. Also I would tell the class that if they were in this situation they would feel bad too. So I guess i will encourage him really well and make his classmated do the same thing.

Don't DiScRiMiNaTe- Case Study # 4

In my opinion the main character trait lacking or missing would be kindness and caring, iIalso think the main equity issue is that the students not being very open minded.

The reason I think the main character trait lacking or missing is kindness and caring because if the student had kindness and caring because if the students had cared about the girls he called "dykes" and the boy he called a "pussy" and "bitch". The student would not have called them names and would have been nice about it. The equity issue is that hes judging the people by what appears to him but not by what is true. he is being unfair because everyone deserves to listen to the music they choose and walk with the people they choose to walk with without being discriminated and judged; the student was not open minded.

In conclusion, I think the main character trait lacking or missing is kindness and caring and the main equity issue was that the students were not open minded and were unfair which led to discrimination.

case study # 3

I believe that the Guidance Counselor is being sexist because he's making a remark on how a job is "tough for a woman". There is no such gender which is superior from each other! Each and every man should have equal rights and should not go through sexism. These genders are no different from each other. They both have the same intellect and the same form. It just depends on how they use it. This has always been a major issue for people, especially women. An example in society is that children learn from their parents and the society that what conception of "feminine" and "masculine" is. Wheather it is from football to fashion. People have always differenciate from males to females. A common phrase used in society is "boys will be boys" or "That's my boy!" Wheather you know it or not know it, this is called sexism! Some people, especially men, believe that women can not achieve high-standard jobs or goals in the society. This is not true! An example of a person who has gone true sexism is Riane Eisler (I got this from the news). She said "we have a cultural bias that we bring to the effort and that colors our decision-making processes."Sexism is the result of that bias imposed by our process of acculturation. This means that when Riane got into a biaas situation, in her career life, the comments did not stop her to try achieving her goal. In this centuary, a lot of women have been proved to be more successful than men.


The types of character traits which have been missing in this situation, for the guidence counselor is that he is narrow-minded because he believes that men are supirior than women, therfore, they can achieve more in life. He is also missing respect because he is not respecting the students decision to be a doctor and he is questioning on her hardwork. Instead, he is being biased and telling her that she should "take an easier field." He also lacks responsibility because he is not doing his job being a "Guidence Counselor" and is not encouraging the student to go for it! And he isn't telling her that she is a hardworker. He is just adding his own personal assumpions in this situation. Therefore, this would have a huge impact in the students life and other womens lives because of his rude behaviour and assumptions.

In conclusion, women and men have the same standards and can achieve anything in life no matter who thinks what about it. There is no sex which is supirior than the other. Both are treated equally. If someone treats another person differently, it might be based on the way they think, not on their sex. Therefore, if the student had felt offended, she could have gotten herself another guidence counselor or she could have just gone with her decision in being a doctor and achieving her goal. Also, when she achieves her goal, she can help other women who have been offended by sexism to believe in themselves and help them know that every sex is equally treated and that they shouldn't think about what others make assumptions of.

Ahmed's Disabiltiy

When the peers of Ahmed heard about his disability, they have been rude and disrespectful.
They think that since he has a disability that he is different from them or retarded, but there only being prejudice and saying that if you have a disability your stupid, and cannot do the same things that they can. Which is very wrong.

The person who insulted Ahmed could of easily offended his friend, who could of have a relative or have a friend who has a disability. What if that person's reaction was anger, a conflict could of started with the friend who insulted Ahmed. The student should of chose his words more wisely, because what he said was wrong and would hurt Ahmed feelings if he heard it. He should be ashamed of himself discriminating on Ahmed just because he has a disability.

If someone could of just stand up for Ahmed and tell the person it is not cool what you just said and that it is offensive, maybe he would of been sorry for what he said. Some people even say that Albert Einstein had dyslexia and he turned out to be a genius.

Gls Assignment- Case Study 4.

         In my opinion, the main character trait lacking in the student of this case study was respect. I believe the student was lacking respect because if you truly have respect for other people you wouldn't call them vulgar, disrespectful names and make assumptions about them. The student that made fun of a classmate and the two women probably  made the classmate upset about his choice in music, and made  the women embarrassed or angry.

The main area of equity that is being addressed  in this case study is sexual orientation. The student made assumptions  that, because his classmates taste in music was considered "girly" or "un-manly" in his opinion, that he was gay. The student also assumed that because the two women were together, that they were "dykes". When  people see a male doing something feminine  he is seen as gay and if a female does something masculine she is seen as a "dyke".

A positive outcome for this case study would be if someone went to a teacher/principal and explained the student's actions and have the school address the differences in society. the responsibility of the school is to teach the students  to be respectful ambassadors for their school when they go off school property. If their teacher would have explained the expectations of the students it might have prevented the student's behaviour.
