This week was when we read about disabilities. Not only did we read, but we watch an appropiate episode of glee. I think the most impactful part was when comparing Glee and how Artie wasn't really in a wheel chair. I think when learning about people with disabilities, and reading about how conquering the mountain meant more than just climbing it but the attempting so that it can be done. It was just awkward to find out he was not in a wheelchair regularly. I think it is cool that he is portraying those who are in a positive way, and that he almost represents them through the glee episodes. I also think that (using Becky) this episode showed how those who have disabilities what to be treated the same. They want to be on the cheer leading team, hell they want to be able to jump rope with the rest of the group and keep up. We don't realize it until you have a disability or know someone who does. I think that when reading the stories we see that, although someone is disabled, they still can bat a .456 or whatever that means. They still can dominate in whatever they put their mind to. And that's the lesson that I took away from this weeks classes.
