    1. fair treatment of people

      The reason why I believe that fair treatment is such a difficult topic to be approached or discussed is that there is not a singular treatment or policy that can be done in order to establish a fair playing ground. In education there is a discussion on how to fairly accommodate children with different forms of learning styles, how some learn better through auditory or visual cues rather than readings or homework problems, different test taking approaches are discussed in order to be fair to students who may not test well. There are hundreds of different approaches to what people consider as fair, where people may believe providing the same equal opportunities to all is fair. I would argue that being fair is the recognition that to be fair it is not equal. There will always be people who will need different accommodations or resources to be able to match others. There has to be an understanding that fair treatment needs to be established differently to match people's needs rather than the other way around.

    2. He is Jamie, a particularchild.

      This reminds of something we discussed my social anthropology class. The idea of having both a disorder and an illness where a disorder is a term for the clinicians and the medical frame work the medical model if you will, and the illness in which is the personal and social meaning of that disease the experience and how they perceive, live with, and respond to the disability. Jamie is being discussed through his disorder but then explains the illness and the worries about his ability to "function" on his own as a social aspect while in the end he is just a singular person.
