Disability World
Presented by :
disabilityworld.org
This site states, "When globalization makes this world seem smaller -
and seemingly more alike - perhaps we need to take stock at what exactly
we are teaching our children about similarity and diversity. What perhaps,
needs to be re-evaluated and/or changed, especially in our curricula and
media for children and in our parenting education programs and materials?"

Labeling People
Avoiding the consumption of assumption
By Chuck Gallozzi
Presented by personal-development.com
"The problem with
labels is they are merely shells that contain assumptions. When we are
taken in by a label, we are taken in by opinions and beliefs. That is, we
willingly accept statements without evidence of their validity. The
assumptions become stereotypes, which soon become put-downs. Before you
know it, we are engaged in name-calling or verbal abuse".

Band-Aids & Blackboards
This is a site about
growing up with medical problems ...any ole type. Its goal is to help
people understand what it's like, from the perspective of the children
and teens who are doing just that.
Personally, I think this group of kids are so brave, courageous, and
set such a profound example of diversity driven strength. I
sincerely hope you will take time to review it's content. |
