Inclusion

     An article published by Cambridge University Press called "Not your "typical" research: Inclusion ethics in neurodiversity scholarship" is about including neurodiverse people into research instead of just studying them. Harsh stereotypes have labeled them as "incompetent" or "dumb" which prevents them from being included fairly. The medical ethics of researching neurodiverse individuals is challenged everyday with concerns about equality and full understanding with the research.

    The neurodivergent population has been the focus of many researchers. Neurodiverse people have been studied for years but they've never really been included in the researched that's based on them. The article states, "Including neurodivergent people in research focused on neurodiversity has many benefits. Many of these benefits are gained from centering research on a target population (i.e., research of neurodivergent people, not about neurodivergent people)" (Cambridge University Press). Including neurodivergent people provides a broader understanding about the research due to their lived experiences. Including them in research could also squash common stereotypes about the neurodivergent population, it would also solve the ethical concerns about equality and destroy any research that has been past labeled as bias.

    With all points listed, including neurodivergent people in research, researchers would be killing multiple birds with one stone. They would gain more accurate research due to the inclusion of people with lived experience, and they would be more supported due to no ethical concerns of fairness. More awareness to neurodivergent abilities would also arise with their inclusion. Working with neurodiverse researchers would solve so many problems and boost existing research. It may open new possibilities and discoveries about the human mind that we hadn't yet discovered.

Welcome to my Blog! A little about the writer. To start, my name is Emily. English is a very important part of my life. Thanks to the wonderful education system in America, I am proud to announce I can read and write. Anyways, why I think that is important is because to be able to voice your opinion is power.

Harrisons VP

  John Tyler isn't very commonly discussed but when he is he's labeled as the worst United States president. The article "The President that History Forgot" by Thomas Mann goes into detail about Tyler's upbringing and and presidency. I wouldn't say John Tyler is forgotten for a multitude of reasons, the most common being he is labeled as America's worst president, and how he came to office was very interesting. I don't think Tyler was prepared to become president at all. In the fourth paragraph of the article, it explains how Tyler wanted to be VP to Harrison but didn't intend to become president. It says, "Harrison's death soon raised a constitutional question: what would happen to Tyler?" This hints that Harrison's death was very sudden and the thought of Tyler succeeding him wasn't pondered long enough. However, the later quote in the same paragraph, "Tyler on his own initiative, claimed he was now the president."...

Art Has Become Lazy.

  The angry tone of Dana Loesch attracted me to her article "The Times Square Statue Is An Insult." The bronze lump in Times Square had to have been agreed upon by a multitude of people for it to have even been erected. Many people including I are upset that this piece is being compared to Michelangelo's David. This sculpture labeled as "art" feels lazy compared to the masterpiece David. The author highlights the detail in the statue of David. It's completely perfect anatomically. The statue conveys emotion; you can see a serious expression and a poised stance with tensed muscles. Michelangelo took a discarded piece of marble and transformed it into probably the most perfect thing on earth. He sacrificed his reputation by studying anatomy and physiology in a time when it was considered unjust, so yes when a bronze statue that conveys nothing is compared to David it's an outrage. When you compare the two statures starting from the top you can see the hair...
