Recommended: Benefits of full inclusion

Have have you ever been excluded, or have you excluded someone else? I have. I have experienced the feeling and know what it’s like, and I believe that if we all work together to stop exclusion the world world will a much happier place. When I was five I asked a friend to play with them. She said that since I wasn’t a leprechaun I couldn’t play. I was sad and felt like no one wanted to play with me so I had said that I had magical sunglasses that helped me see things that normal human couldn’t. Then she let me with the group. I was happier and had more fun than if I had moped around the playground miserably thinking no wanted to play with me. Also, in fifth grade I was playing “horses” with a group of friends and another girl came over

  • Loneliness and Isolation in Baldwin’s, Here be Dragons

    673 Words  | 2 Pages

    I am not a targeted minority and I have never felt discriminated against, but I certainly have found my self weighed down, unable to keep up, in the constant rush and roar that is our society. I have felt isolated and left behind by everything around me, and this utter loneliness is not something that is easy to deal with. This loneliness inevitably turns to self-hatred as I ask myself why I can’t keep pace with everyone else when they seem to be doing just fine? Reading James Baldwin has reminded me that I’m not alone, and that there are many ways to deal with the isolation one feels within society. For some, struggling to keep afloat in the mainstream as it rushes along is the most comprehensible way, but for others, like Baldwin, it’s easier to simply get out of the water and walk along the bank at his own chosen pace.

  • Social Exclusion in Relation to Disability and Gender

    881 Words  | 2 Pages

    Social exclusion is the exclusion of an individual from the current social system, their individual rights and privileges. This is usually a result of a person living in poverty due to circumstances he or she has no control over, or their own human error. Becoming socially excluded can also be the result of the individual belonging to a minority social group. Social exclusion refers to individuals whom are excluded from certain aspects of social life such as employment and social relations. This can be due to reasons such as whether or not the individual would like to participate in social activities, or whether he or she is unable to participate in social activities for reasons which are beyond their control, such as a disability (Burchandt et al. 2002). Social exclusion can be a major problem, studies have shown that being socially excluded from a group/s in fact activates particular areas of the brain, areas which would usually only be activated by physical pain (Eisenberger et al, 2003). Not only can social exclusion have negative effects on an individuals mental health and wellbeing, but it can also cause exploitation, oppression and marginality. Social exclusion also prevents equality, fairness and social justice.

  • Robert Merton Deviance

    Conformity is defined as when an “individual both subscribes to the values of the larger society and has access to legitimate means for obtaining them,” (powerpoint). Robert Merton has a deviance typology that helps explain this behavior. According to Merton “deviance tends to occur when members of a society reject culturally prescribed goals and/or don't believe they can achieve them in socially prescribed ways,” (powerpoint). However, conformity happens when you do something that society accepts and you do it in a legitimate way. In the case of Warren, he conformed to his sisters’ drug using, even though he had been against it, in order to fit in with them.

The day was beautiful. I was outside with my oldest sister Rachel and my father. Rachel was diligently reading curled up on a bench that sat against the house, and my father was mowing the backyard. My mother and my other sister were in the house. Off to one side of the house there was a group of large bushes. I was playing over there with one of her large cooking pots, off in my own little world. At one point while amusing and en...

  • Inclusion Paper

    707 Words  | 2 Pages

    The idea of inclusion within a classroom tends to breed controversy from many people. Currently there is no clear consensus on a definition of inclusion (Heward, 2006). There are many different views on how students with disabilities should be handled. Those views ranged from students being fully included, partially included, or not included at all in mainstream schooling. Different descriptions of inclusion tend to reflect the person's own opinions towards it. People who feel students should not be included in the classroom focus on the negative characteristics of inclusion, such as the challenges of developing plans for students as well as the hard work it requires to incorporate those plans. However, studies show that full inclusion has many benefits to the students, for both students with disabilities as well as students without them. Inclusion has shown to improve the student's social skills, encourage communication, inspire laws and regulations, and improve the overall schooling experience (Gargiulo, 2012). Although it will take longer then some would like or have the patience for, full inclusion can be done in the classroom, with its benefits outweighing the hard work that it requires.

  • When I Have Witnessed Prejudice

    515 Words  | 2 Pages

    I have witnessed prejudice when a kid in the same class as I was being bullied for being “weird” and not wearing “cool” clothes. I have also witnessed people make fun of another race behind a person’s back that was African American. These acts were prejudicial because they harmed a person just because they were “different”. It made me feel bad for the people it happened to because they can’t help their financial situation as a child or the pigment of their skin. An instance that I have experienced prejudice against me was being tormented for being short. Just because I am not above 5’9” and I cannot help what genetics I inherited from my parents does not necessarily imply that I am not as valued as anyone else. I strive to be taller and it aggravates me because I am not tall enough for other people’s liking. What also makes me feel bad is knowing that my children will go through the same types of prejudice that I do, and hopefully I’ll be able to assist them with the problems that come with
