There are also differences between the classic and current research with regard to its influence on social behavior.The task of this assignment is to select one classic research study in social psychology from a provided list. You will then locate a modern (within the last 10 years) peer-reviewed research study in the same subject area. The article you locate will be submitted for instructor approval. You will analyze these studies for their approach to social psychology, the influence of theories, research trends of the different time periods, the influence of the research on society, and how issues of ethics and ethical strategies differ across time

This 3-5 page essay will give you the opportunity to reflect on the lived experiences of people living with disabilities around the world. Compare and contrast the lived experiences of people living with disabilities in the US to those in another country of your choice. This can be a country of origin or a country of interest.

In order to be successful, provide a thoughtful compare and contrast of the circumstances faced by people with disabilities in the US and in the country of your choice by answering and considering the following questions.

Identify the social, cultural, political and economic factors shaping the lived experiences of people with disabilities.
How do the countries political systems (i.e. democracy, communism, authoritarian regimes), level of stability (failed states, civil war, economic collapse), economics (i.e. first world wealth v. third world poverty), geography/topography (i.e. urban, rural, mountainous, etc), and health care system (universal v. private insurance) help or hinder the quality of life of people with disabilities? For example, how does socioeconomic status or the overall economy of the country affect disabled communities?
Do people living with disabilities in these countries have equal access compared to their non-disabled counterparts? How do community members personal characteristics (i.e. race, gender, sexual orientation, financial/housing stability) affect access to, for example:
Optimum healthcare and rehabilitation
Free and appropriate education
Job opportunities
Achieving fulfillment/full potential/pursuit of happiness/social integration in the community/respect
Which model(s) of disability is present in each country? (social, medical, empowerment based, religious, charity, etc)
Evaluate the presence or absence of legal protections and human rights for people with disabilities in each country. Describe the legislation and evaluate the impact. Has it been successfully implemented and enforced? Give examples. If implementation has failed, what are the social, political, cultural, and other barriers? (Two examples of legal protections enacted in the US are The Americans with Disabilities Act and Section 504 the Rehab Act.)
The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) provides worldwide protections for people with disabilities and has been signed by 162 countries since 2006. There are 50 Articles of the CRPD addressing the accessibility and inclusion of basic human rights. Some Articles focus on particular populations such as women and children, while most articles address basic freedoms and rights such as access to justice, freedom of torture or cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, freedom from exploitation, freedom of expression, adequate standard of living and social protection, and living independently and being included in the community. Based on your research, select the Articles that apply to your populations of focus.
To what extent do the US and the country you selected live up to the standard put forth by the Articles of the UN CRPD? Provide evidence for your conclusion. Evidence can include both relevant legal policy as well as evidence of political and social implementation.
What is the role of ableism in each country? (Emphasize social injustices and the ways that social disparities affect how people with disabilities are included, or not, in the community)
Whats the overall quality of life enjoyed by people living with disabilities in each country? High, medium, low?

Tips for Success

In order to be successful on this assignment you must use proper in-text citations and references. I welcome your use of quotes from the text to illustrate your points. However, you must cite your quotes directly in-text and in the references (incorporating word for word text without quotation marks is considered plagiarism, and will result in no credit for this assignment).

The majority of your focus will be on the lived experiences of people with disabilities in your country of choice. Where applicable, you will compare and contrast with the circumstances in the US.

Your thesis statement should make reference to key factors youve chosen to focus on (i.e. healthcare, legal rights, human rights, education, job opportunities, etc)

Here are some examples:

The US has legal protections in place for people living with disabilities in theory, but in practice deaf people, for example, are less likely to have insurance coverage and more likely to face communication access barriers than their counterparts in Cuba. (The Cuban government provides sign language interpreters.)
Nicaragua is considered one of the worlds poorest countries, while the US is considered one of the richest but, especially in the aftermath of the Sandinista revolution in 1979, Nicaraguans disabled due to fighting in the revolution were seen as heroes and enjoyed more social inclusion and integration than disabled people in the US at a similar time.
Many freedoms exist in our democracy in the US, however many disabled Americans continue to be denied access to quality healthcare, while in Cuba, a communist country, disabled Cubans enjoy universal healthcare.
Find two sources pertaining to populations of disabled people living in the US and living in the country youve chosen. One must be a peer-reviewed scholarly article, reports or white papers, or book chapter, one can be a popular news or media article (you are also able to include readings from class as one of the sources) (i.e. articles from Week 7 on disability and poverty in different countries with different political and religious systems)

*If you need extra help narrowing the focus of your search. pick a population in each country that has historically faced barriers or discrimination. (i.e. African Americans, LGBTQIA, women, refugees, undocumented immigrants/non-native speakers, indigenous people, people with financial, food or housing insecurities, religious minorities) and go from there.

Keep in mind that youre not expected to compare and contrast every single factor so long as you identity and focus on 1 or 2 key factors and give a thoughtful explanation of how each factor helps or hinders full participation of people with disabilities.

Based on the course material discussed, pick one health disparity or health issue the LGBT community is at risk for.

Provide some introduction and background on your specific topic in your first 2-3 paragraphs, describing the specific health issue in depth. Cite facts and figures from reputable sources such as from the cdc, health organizations, or other medically-published literature or websites. Please avoid citing Wikipedia. In these paragraphs, make sure you explain what the health disparity/problem/issue is and why its so important. Mention any pertinent statistics or population demographics that are important for this health issue. Thoroughly look at the issue from all angles including the why, who, when, and where.

In 2-3 following paragraphs, describe the impact that stigma may have on the health disparity you have chosen. Can/does stigma impact this LGBT health issue? How?

In your final 2-3 paragraphs, describe how you think an initiative in the humanities such as a piece of art, a play or movie, music, or an advocacy movement (ie: ACT UP, AIDS Quilt, GLAAD, etc) may impact (or has already impacted) this specific health disparity/issue. Feel free to pick any humanities piece of interest to you that you think is applicable to this health disparity/issue. In these paragraphs, specifically explain the humanities piece, what it is, and what you think of its potential impact on the LGBT community from a health perspective.

In your final paragraph, give your own personal impression/opinion of the humanities piece. What do you personally think of it? How do you feel when you read/listen to/view/think about it? How does the humanities piece make you more or less connected to the health disparity youve described? How does the humanities piece make you more or less connected to the LGBT community?

History 1301 Analysis Paper- Equality Then and Now
One of the most cherished ideals of U.S. history comes from the Declaration of Independence, We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. An important part of American history is the nations attempts to live up to this ideal of treating people fairly. In this assignment, you will analyze how well the U.S. lived up its ideal of fairness during the early national period, and then compare it to how well the nation is adhering to this principle today. Here is your prompt:

Write a two-part essay discussing how well the U.S. has lived up to the ideals of the Declaration of Independence. In Part I, using specific examples from the period of the American Revolution through Andrew Jacksons presidency, discuss:
Achievement of equality for white men.
Achievement of equality for Native Americans.
Achievement of equality for African Americans (slave and free).
Conclude Part I by ranking on a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being the highest), how well the nation lived up to its all men are created equal ideal during this period of U.S. history.

In Part II, do the same analysis for America in the 21st century. Discuss how well the nation is doing today in living up to the Declaration of Independence, ranking this period on a 1-10 scale. Be sure to support your view with specific examples. Conclude the essay with a paragraph comparing your rankings of the 2 periods. (In other words, summarize why you ranked one period over the other.)

Sources: For Part I, you are to use information/examples from assigned course materials (i.e., course readings and/or lectures). No other sources are to be used, as the purpose of his essay is to determine how well youve learned assigned readings and lectures in the class. For Part II, you may use articles obtained from the SIRS Researcher or Americas News databases, found in the colleges library. Here is a link to a short video explaining how to access these databases.

Format: Type double-spaced in MLA format, using in-text citations (If you are unfamiliar with this format, click on this link for guidance and examples.) Include a Works Cited page.

Font: a standard 12 font such as Ariel or New Times Roman

Length: 1200-1400 words (body of the paper) If you write more than 1400 words, I will only grade the first 1400. Per the rubric below, I suggest you balance your paper as follows:
Part I: about 750-850 words
