Jorden Peterson - On the Bible

So this is such an interesting clip and I have lost track of how many times I have watched it. However, I love what it is saying and it links into the shadowhunter's content I have worked on some well as it says that the stories are true but not in a way that we would expect as in finding physical evidence to suggest what happened is their however it does suggest that we need to be aware that there are cultures where truth was passed down in stories and legends.  It wasn't a truth of their past but an explanation of why things are the way they are.  As well as oral history and this is amazing as we see that when we look deeper into the stories we see that people seem to be aware that there is such a thing as objective truth and this objective is what needs to be challenged and heard as we see that many people have challenged the catholic church but what we need to remember is any organization is only as good as the people within it, and this shows in a way with the Shadow hunte

History of the instutions for the disabled in Austalia. A general overview Part one

  History of institutions for the disabled, in Australia.   A general overview. So I have done a broad outline of what is the history of institutions for the disabled in Australia we don’t have a lot of broad information about disability and how it was thought about because Australia generally does follow the trends of London up until the 1900s and we started following the USA in a lot of things. However we see that one thing that has always been the same is how we cared for our disabled people, so we see that they generally were depending on the means that people had they lived with their families.   Or if they couldn’t they were taken to children’s homes and some still exist in some form however we see family-based care is much more prevalent, now as well.   As well as what is called supported independent living. If they didn’t they lived in an institution, so in Toowoomba, we had hameworth children at home and we had Bailey Henderson insane facility. [i] [ii]   Baily Hende

I have used Shadowhunters as I see more and more parallels to disability in this world, especially among the down-worlders. But I am talking more generally about disability, so the things that people say really minimize the impact of the disability on your life and even demonize you in the process. I see this in Magnus from shadow hunters mental health, that he is thought to be a demon and that all worlders ( for those who don’t follow the blog are a creature that is half human and half mundane, an offensive   term for humans that can see the shadow world depending o

The pension and the issues to get on it,

  Jake Lawes’ Disability Support Pension application declined despite being a double amputee | 7NEWS This is a really interesting article to look at and it shows again how people with disabilities are seen by society. As the afterthought and being a double amputee. Is a massive physical disability, it is a risk to many workplaces, but this is the issue though, with the rise of work-from-home jobs and the NDIS does he have the capacity to rebuild for some level of work?  I see in the article that he doesn't really have the capacity to work, so the pension is the best option for him but I see that the fight is not fair on him as well, as I I know that I had to fight to get on the pension myself as it does have medical as well as nonmedical rules as well so the rules do change and this is where my line of thinking comes into it about can he do some part-time work.    It's a very difficult concept but it shows that we are able to move forward as a society if we do have the right su

Medical Mistakes and the cost to people with a disability.

  I was writing an article on Medical bias it will be on my website and not the blog and we see that it can be very hard to spot due to the way medicine is taught, however, we do see that there is a growing awareness of disabilities as we have seen in Australia and the developed world we see that people with disabilities are often seen as the afterthought, or even it is seen that as an adult we can be spoken to and for this also now comes into medical bias. https://www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/doctors-pants-fell-down-regularly-coworker-complained-of-being-left-shaking/news-story/96ceb43547057c37a6a2ad1b01a5fc52   But as we see in this article it does become more complex than this as there is a culture of cover-ups in hospital systems due to the lack of investment in hospitals and a lack of support staff as well. However, we do know that doctors and medical treatments have been targeted toward a very specific group. This being white males women and people with disabiliti
