Thoughts on my proposal draft
I have gotten away from the accessibility issues, but as I sat down stumped about where to go and y current dislike for the proposal I have now, I realized a reason why I have been stumped. Although accessibility is not the main issue at hand now, it still plays such an important role. The accessibility of a facility determines how a handicap person can integrate with those who are not. When a facility is not equipped to include someone who is handicap, it creates a feeling of degradation. It stops a handicap person from having the same equal opportunities as anyone else. Even if its a little thing, it still inhibits the person in the wheelchair from going or doing something that a person that is not in a wheelchair could do. If a handicap person is not able to mingle with everyone else than a physical barrier is created that contributes to the cognitive and affective component of a person because it may make a person feel cut off from society. It could turn a physical barrier into a mental one because its another way of showing that society doesn't account for the "error" of a handicap because of reasons such as "it costs too much". But when society accounts for errors in computer systems by creating backups for machines that have no emotion it makes me see how skewed society has its priorities. It would rather disenfranchise a large majority of the population because of a price tag.

Jan 27- Revised Rough draft
I'm still having trouble getting my proposal to come out just right. For some reason I just can't get the words I want to say... However, here is my latest rough draft for the first portion of the proposal.
Previous research discovered non-handicapped individuals often have negative attitudes towards those who are. Attitudes such as these help contribute to the mental component of a physical disability that often go unseen. The research I will do will focus on this added emotional burden created by a society that lacks complete acceptance of those who are physically disabled. I will question society’s concept of “normal” and expand on how “normal’s” definition will change depending on the context and situation it is used in. I will search to discover why these negative attitudes exist and why they have throughout humankind’s existence. I will research with psychologists to discover whether intervention programs should be introduced to young children to help with the questions and misunderstandings they may develop as they grow and whether a greater rate of accessibility in public accommodations would help society to be more accepting of those who are physically disabled.
If the construction of accessible facilities was made a higher priority in society, enabling more disabled individuals to live just as anyone else does, would this help promote tolerance and understanding that will help decrease the negative attitudes sometimes presented towards those who are physically disabled by either accident or disease? The results of this research will enable more awareness towards this issue as well as a greater degree of thought for creating adaptive plans or the construction of equipment that will allow facilities to be more accessible. This could lead to a greater integration between those who are “normal” and those who are “handicap”, and in the end, help to lessen some of the emotional component a disability creates because it will show society how those who are handicap are just as “normal” as anyone else.
I also found some interesting information earlier today. It talked about how people with physical deformities and disabilities were treated throughout history. It focused mostly on the "freak shows" that were popluar for years that mocked these people. These people were limited in what they could do with their lives, so many ended up in these "freak shows". Back even to cavemen days, evidence showed that people may have sacrificed those that were physically disabled. How far has humanity come from this horrible past?

Jan 26 -- Proposal Rough draft
I have developed a decent portion of my proposal and have decided to post it in light of computer problems I'm having...
Handicap Accessibility in Local Catholic Institutes of Learning
The American Disability Act of 1990 was established to bring about equal opportunities to individuals with disabilities. The focus of this research will be on those with physical disabilities. Under this act, places of public accommodations are to be in compliance with certain guidelines that define what is “accessible”. Private schools fall under this category. However, many local private Catholic institutes of learning do not have all of the proper facilities to guarantee equal opportunity to those with physical disabilities. Although there are certain stipulations as to what constitutes an “accessible design”, these private schools manage to skirt this. Even if they are in full compliance with the American Disability Act legally, there are instances when equal opportunity cannot be granted. For example, many small catholic schools do not have elevators, yet there are second stories to buildings. How do they cope if a wheelchair bound person wishes to attend this school? This law clearly defines that no person can be discriminated against in the acceptance to a school based solely on disability. Do these schools have plans to adapt so that a physically disabled person will be able to have the same opportunity as another student? How can schools that don’t have a plan to adapt find ways to adapt?
Outside of the physical component of a disability, there is a strong mental factor. This research issue will focus on the actual accessibility of these private institutions as well as the emotional impact created by a society that lacks complete acceptance of those who have a physical disability. It will question the sometimes negative attitudes towards handicap people from those who are not. While discovering how accessible different schools are, it will question whether some kind of intervention program that aids in breaking down the barriers between “normal” and “handicap” should be introduced. With so many people, including children and young adults, facing physical handicaps, it seems vital that all schools are available to each person. An individual should have the opportunity to improve their level of education in the school of their choice and not face physical or mental discrimination. If schools begin to integrate more accessible facilities, there may be an increase in the amount of students that have a disability, and will this increase help promote tolerance and understanding that will it help decrease the negative attitudes sometimes presented towards those who are physically disabled by either accident or disease? With schools that seemingly lack proper facilities, it seems these questions I have raised are important to address as it appears that very few, if any, ask these questions. The results of this research could enable more awareness towards this issue as well as a greater degree of thought for creating adaptive plans or the construction of equipment that will allow the facility to be accessible, as well as a greater integration between those who are “normal” and those who are “handicap”, and in the end, help to lessen some of the emotional component a disability creates because it may show how society views those that are handicap as just as “normal” as anyone else. Perhaps if everyone were to spend a single day living in a wheelchair it would promote a greater understanding and a greater will to help those who must spend their entire life in one.
In my years attending Catholic schools I have seen both sides of the spectrum. At one point I was just as “normal” as all the other students who were walking around and oblivious to the needs of handicap individuals. Without the experience I have obtained, I was unable to fully understand the duress caused by facilities that aren’t properly constructed to accept handicap individuals. I believe this is the case in most instances because a lack of true understanding does not aid in tolerance. However in the last two years, my bouts of being in and out of a wheelchair caused me to realize how many public accommodations have trouble with accessibility and the issues it raises to someone who is disabled and wants equal opportunity as should be granted to them under the implementation of the American Disability Act. The experience I have gained has caused me to have a more accurate knowledge of what is necessary to integrate the “normal” and the “disabled.”
· How do private catholic schools cope if a wheelchair bound person wishes to attend a school that does not have the proper ADA compliant facilities?
o Do these schools have plans to adapt so that a physically disabled person will be able to have the same opportunity as another student?
o How can schools that don’t have a plan to adapt find ways to adapt?
· If schools begin to integrate more accessible facilities, there may be an increase in the amount of students that have a disability, and will this increase help promote tolerance and understanding that will it help decrease the negative attitudes sometimes presented towards those who are physically disabled by either accident or disease?
Potential Research Plan
Potential Multigenre Writings
In order to integrate a mutilgenre aspect to this paper I may introduce a log from a parent looking to place their child in a school of their choice but is either having difficulty finding a school that is either handicap accessible or willing to adapt, or has found one that is, and the ease of mind it has caused for the child to be accepted into society.
I may also include two different perspectives to help sway from a biased agenda. I may write either a play or a poem by one individual who faces a certain amount of discrimination because of the disability and the problems it causes both physically and mentally. It will help portray the image of what it is like to live as a “rejected” individual. But in order to show the difference an accepting situation can provide, I may also write a play or poem from the perspective of an individual that has been fully accepted into a social setting and the positive impact it has on that person’s life as they are viewed just the same as anyone else.

Jan 24-- Possible Issue Developed-- Finally!
My free write from yesterday and a comment from Leo has helped me to decide on an issue.
I have attended Catholic schools from elementary through college. Out of those three schools, provisions for the handicap have been limited to none. With the implementation of the American Disability Act I'm curious to see how they skirt the regulations that should be put in place. My research questions will consist of:
How accessible are Catholic Institutes of learning? Do they accept those who are handicap or discriminate and reject their application? How often do schools receive applications from someone with special needs? What can they do to be more accessible? These lead me to the second part. What psychological impact does this have on those who wish to receive private Catholic education but are unable to receive it do to the lack of provisions for those with special needs?
Secondary resources have been hard to come by. I plan to use information from the ADA to find out what the regulations are and how schools could implement this. I may go to catholic schools at different grade levels and interview administrators from these schools or find someone at the Archdiocese of Miami. I may also try and survey those with special needs and see if they would have liked to have attended a Catholic institution. I haven't finished developing the survey portion. The observation may simply be to see what provisions, if any, have been made for special needs students.
For the multi-genre writing I may create something along the lines of a diary or drama to show the effects this may have on a person.
I haven't fully developed my idea but I wrote what I had for now so I don't forget it. :-)

Jan 23, 2009 Research Progress
Zeroing in an exact issue is being problematic. I think it's time I take the book's advice and free write to see what I come up with.
I thought my legs were better now, but a sudden relapse on Christmas proved how wrong that thought was. It's caused me to re-evaluate my life and its focus.
Two years ago when I was disabled from the waist down I think I asked the question that almost anyone who has been disabled asks, "Why me...?" I began to struggle in a world that was completely new to me. The world of looking for everything that's labeled with the universal blue symbol showing what's handicap accessible and what isn't. i began to see the challenge that so many people face. The so called "handicap friendly" business is generally a joke. In high school my whole schedule and classes had to be moved because it wasn't accessible. Now at St. Thomas I see how inaccessible the place is. Build a brand-new building with doors that weigh a ton and not put in an automatic door opener? I suppose if I had spent my whole life like this I would have better techniques for getting around.
Anyways, this isn't supposed to be a rant. I've been reminded of something that disturbed me the most. I never thought this would happen to me. I never thought I wouldn't be able to walk around school again. I've seen both sides of the spectrum and I've seen all the issues that millions of people face everyday.
But how do people really understand? Why are negative attitudes sometimes presented by individuals who are not handicap? Is it a fear that creates this, or do we appear so different and outside of society's "normal" image that they can't figure out what's happened?
Its led me to wonder whether younger kids need some sort of "program" to learn how to socialize with people that are outside of "normal". Some people are extremely helpful, others just stare. Especially little kids. I can see the gears whirling in their heads as they did in mine. "How come that person can't walk and I can?"
When past research, although a majority of the little I have found is fairly outdated, shows how people do have negative attitudes towards individuals who are handicap I begin to wonder why. if I research something like this, and I going to have a biased agenda from the beginning?
Society's idea of "normalcy" is a load of BS. Normal to millions of people is spending everyday stuck in a chair. But why does society rarely show that? Why are so many things so difficult to access for someone who is stuck in a chair? Aren't they just as deserving as those so called "normal" people? Do all of these issues make it even harder for a handicap person to have self-approval?
There is more than the physical aspect to a disability. There is a mental part that plays a great deal. In a world created for those who can just get up and walk, for those who can't, it isn't easy. It leads me to wonder how the world can better integrate the handicap and non-handicap.
This is a very broad subject, but its a topic that not too many people appear to even think about. I know I didn't at one time.

Research Progress
I found an interesting study that was done on the attitude non-handicap people have of a disabled person. It was a fairly limited study. However, it raises interesting questions. How do people view each other? How does one disabled person view another? Is there differences in the attitudes and why does this happen?
Results from studies like this can help form intervention programs that help promote the well-being of any disabled person in society.
An abstract form the summary says this, "Many researchers wish for continued study on attitudes of individuals toward persons with handicaps so that doctors can develop intervention programs to change the negative attitudes, to improve training of personnel, and to remove any barriers to services that may exist (Sable, 1995). The purpose of this study was to determine if non-disabled persons have differing attitudes toward handicapped and non-handicapped individuals and if the cause of the disability (accident vs. disease) has an effect on these attitudes."

For completing interviews and surveys I wonder if I could work in conjunction with the psychology department to find those who would be willing to participate in research such as this.

Research progress
This weekend I sat down and thought long and hard and debated about subjects that are really important to me. I'm beginning to zero in on two broad subjects: the well-being of children and the life for those who are handicap.
With the well-being of children I debate how should the government be able to intervene in a family? It seems they should be able to in some cases, right? If a child is being abused, it seems there should be someone that has the power to remove that child. But when does the government step over that delicate boundary and impose on a parent's right to raise their children as they see fit? Should the government be able to step in and tell parents what they must do and not do, and how they must raise their child? How can they decide which to intervene in and which not? Criminals are able to hide behind laws and get away with hideous acts because someone cannot intervene because of some law. Then who does the law protect, the child or the criminal?
My biggest interest however, moves to the second subject; the people in the world who live with a handicap. I have seen what's its like to live on both sides of the spectrum. I grew up as a child who could run and jump, but ended my last several teen years mostly wheelchair bound. It left me unable to participate in a great deal of activities I was interested in. If I let myself, its easy to focus on the negative side of this. I'm handicap, what am I supposed to do? Accept sympathy from people who go about saying, "oh you poor thing." I don't think so. People can keep their sympathy and give it to someone else. It leads me to a question somewhere along these lines," Is a handicap really a disability in the negative sense people think of it? Rather, is it some special gift from nature that we may be unable to comprehend fully? Perhaps it can be a gift because I live a life that is outside of the normalcy that everyone else lives. I get to be different! When I see how "normal" people live, it doesn't always seem so bad to be a bit different from them. Perhaps my gift is to teach them some of the beautiful blessings they have but don't realize.
I think in the end however, I am going to somehow focus in on child abuse. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it, but I will zero in on it somehow.

So far I am still coming up blank for an idea that I can practically research. My own personal enigma is distracting me too much...

Nelson Reaction
Often an instructor assigns a specific topic a student must research. The teacher believes a terrific paper will be submitted with a great amount of research done. Also, a great deal of time is given for the research to be done. However, in this amount of time students can lose in terest or become preoccupied with other classes. The expectations a instructor puts on a student quickly diminishes when students find research and quickly use the information they find. When old information is used, no new research is done. It becomes a rehash of old information that is once again regurgitated.
The expectations a instructor has quickly dies when a student links together quotes from some other sourse.
Research is such an important component. Research is the way many new discoveries have occured. This spewing of the same old information lends no help to the discovery of a new point of view. It only provides the same information people have already used. A higher importance level should be put on a research paper; but a real research project. A research paper should require a certain amount of new information to be found.
