Voices of Poverty: Liberals Fail to Acknowledge Privilege
http://voicesofpoverty-poverty.blogspot.com/2011/11/liberals-fail-to-acknowledge-privilege.html
Tuesday, 29 November 2011. Liberals Fail to Acknowledge Privilege. This blog will address my thoughts on the quotation below:. Liberals accept inequality of circumstances because of their profound belief in equal opportunity, which means that we are all equal before the law.

They also have the necessary resources available ...

So for individuals who have some sort of mental illness they are looked down apart and most often ignore because they aren’t per say “normal” and capable to function properly. These individuals are not only left alone but are also stigmatized leading them to dramatically fall through the cracks and into a life of poverty. Older Adults in Poverty. Senio...

http://rainbowrights1310.blogspot.com/2011/11/going-back-in-closet.html
Sunday, November 20, 2011. Going back in the "Closet". Older people face many challenges and the biggest one is their health (Neysmith, 2003). As people age their ability to do daily activities decrease which may require a certain amount of care necessary to go about their day (Neysmith, 2003). This leads to their biggest health care problem which is long term care for when an older person can no longer take care of themselves (Neysmith, 2003). 8221; (StuMaddox, 2009). Their past experiences were harsh o...

Me, Myself, My Mind. Wednesday, October 26, 2011. Poverty and Mental Illness: A Social Democratic Stance. All in all social democratic ideologies is the perfect fit in fighting the incidence of mental illness in Canada.

Rainbow Rights: LGBTTQ* elders have sexual needs too!!
http://rainbowrights1310.blogspot.com/2011/11/lgbttq-elders-have-sexual-needs-too.html
Tuesday, November 15, 2011. LGBTTQ* elders have sexual needs too! By simply shutting their door. LGBTTQ* seniors have faced historical and current barriers in their desire to openly express their love for their significant other, while residing in long-term care organizations. As a result, many do not disclose their sexual identity because they fear they will be treated negatively or refused adequate care (Brotman et. al., 2003; Brotman, Ryan, Collins, Chamberland, Cormier, Julien. Neysmith (2003), recog...
