We would like you to consider the ways in which the events and issues of this moment (racial unrest, political division, a climate crisis, a [recent] pandemic, etc.) might influence the scholarship produced in either the humanistic (including critical humanist) or social scientific traditions of communication studies. What do you think? What are you expecting to see?
Each of us deals with hardships each day, placing mental barriers between ourselves and our goals. We all strive to push through these thoughts, as some of the Manifest Destiny explorers/adventurers/migrants did (think of the Oregon Trail type of expeditions). Please describe your understanding of mental fortitude and its influence on our daily lives, goals, long-term accomplishments, and more. In what ways do you practice “pushing forward” with your goals? Do you ever encounter obstacles, and if so, how do you respond?

I believe we should be teaching students with the most severe disabilities and/or multiple disabilities the importance of communication and confidence. According to Anthony Fredericks, author of " The complete idiot’s guide to: success as a teacher", students with disabilities often have low self-esteem and should be given clear and concise feedback (Fredericks, 2005).
I’ve noticed that when students with disabilities are placed in classrooms with students that don’t have disabilities that they [disabled students] often compare themselves to the other students and feel as if they’re lagging behind. Because of this reason, I think it’s important for them to be taught in a different class from regular students so that their specific needs can be addressed, and they won’t feel compelled to compare themselves.
However, I also believe students without disabilities should definitely be involved in their own way and taught awareness/empathy so that they know how to interact with students with disabilities. In this situation, I believe inclusion is appropriate from a social perspective, not an educational perspective. By this, I mean that students with disabilities should be in separate classrooms, but I also believe that they should be encouraged to interact socially with students without disabilities in extracurricular activities or out-of-school events. As I mentioned previously, if students with disabilities are placed in different classrooms, they won’t feel as much of a desire to compare themselves to non- disabIed students. They can also receive one-on-one attention and guidance without the rest of the class feeling left out. In extracurricular activities and out-of-school events, socialization should be encouraged that way every student’s communication and social skills can be practiced and improved.

Consider what it means to have a biological determination of sex (X and Y chromosomes; the presence or absence of testosterone) and how that differs from gender identity.
