- Here are some editorials that I found interesting:
All of these editorials are based on the writers opinion. The one that I like the most is "A Young Man Withe Down Syndrome, a Fatal Encounter and a Cry For Understanding" because, talks about a young man with Down Syndrome ( a genetic condition that causes learning difficulties) and as a teacher I could have students with that same syndrome.
This editorial is about a 26 year young man called Ethan Saylor with Down Syndrome, who one day died in the local mall when he was at the theater. All started when Ethan went to the mall to see a movie, after the movie his caregiver went to get the car. Meanwhile Ethan went back to the theater and sat down for the next showing. The employees told him to buy another ticket or leave, but he refused to leave, so the employees called the mall security. The security mall tried to drag him out of the theater but Ethan still refused to leave. The mall security din't have any choose but to handcuffed him and put him on the floor. All of the sudden he died. The medical examiner said it was an homicide by asphyxiation. This situation promoted a movement to raise people awareness and understanding of Down Syndrome.
Favorite Quotes:
- "All parents worry about their children, but those whose children have developmental disabilities have a particular burden. They worry about acceptance, about shielding their children from cruelty and ignorance."
-"People with mental disabilities see it all: dismissal, contempt, affectionate pity. People look into the rounded face and unguarded gaze of someone with extra chromosomes and see a stereotype: a child who is lovable, adorable, maybe a little stubborn. What they do not see is an individual — or an equal."
-"Thursday is World Down Syndrome Day. Its goal is “to raise people’s awareness and understanding of Down syndrome.” It is well meaning, but for some that is not enough anymore. As Down Syndrome Uprising puts it: “Done with awareness. Moving on to acceptance.”"
