Arlene Stein’s book “Sex and Sensibility” is a literary masterpiece that develops the framework of content that was essential towards explaining the rise of the lesbian movement; though solid in its message, Stein’s bias is recognized throughout the text, she was cognizant of issues and factors that affected the movement but she fails to piece together the entire spectrum. Stein captures three fundamental factors displayed throughout the text: (1). The recognition of new sexual identities and their associated orientations (2). The separation of the Feminist and Lesbianist movements, and (3). The differentiation of the “Old Gay” and “New Gay”lesbian identities.

In both “The Chocolate War” and “DNA” the bullies are presented as mischievous and threatening characters throughout. In the play “DNA” we have a psychotic gang leader called Phil who dictates to the rest of the gang members with his iron fist. However in “The Chocolate war”, we have Archie Costello who rules through manipulation and the tradition of the vigils and the box of marbles. Both “The Chocolate War” and “DNA” contain other supporting bullies and victims, for example in “DNA” we have Cathy (the later gang leader) and in “The Chocolate War” we have the Brothers. In both of the books there are the characters who are being victimised.

For people living in the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) community, hiding in a “the closet” is very common in hiding their true identities. Extreme precaution is taken to help prevent exposing themselves to friends and family until the time is right for them. Then, when someone is finally ready to reveal their true selves they must deal with the reactions of everyone they tell. This process is highlighted in the American sitcom The Golden Girls, a show highlighting the lives of four women after retirement and living in their “golden years”. The episode “Scared Straight” (1988) highlight the relationship between Blanche and her younger brother Clayton-

I have witnessed many friends who do identify as lesbian and gay, and they do not fear their life. They have never once been physically harmed due to the fact they are not heterosexual. However, they have been harmed emotionally and mentally. Lloyd does not talk much about the violence that is not physical. She discusses the violence and harm that comes from the sexing of the body.

After watching “Interview with Jane Ward, author of Not Gay: Sex Between Straight White Men” and “Bisexuality: The Myths and Medical Truths” I learned that when a person deviates from the norms of their preferred sexuality, they are met with negative out comes. In the case of female bisexuality, their imagine suffers by the way society looks at them. In “Bisexuality: The Myths and Medical Truths” bisexual women are commonly

As a result, she destroys numerous relationships,

Having a different sexuality than the one expected of you, doesn’t change who you are as a person. Yes it might change how people see, or treat you, but it should never cause you to hate you uniqueness. You are who you are and nothing should ever come between you happiness even if others can’t accept it for what it is. In “Drowning in Fire” by Craig Womack, the author talks about homosexuality with the help of his central main characters that happens to be Native American.

The woman had only recently made the decision to stay with that gender completely. As the friend shared pictures of herself with Wilchins, Wilchins noticed how keenly her friend was analyzing her reactions with each different picture. This seemed to shock Wilchins as she herself is quoted saying “Which is to say that I do not, at first blush, inspire confidence as the best possible judge of such matters. I could not care less how either of us is read by nontranssexuals” (Wilchins). I believe this to be a powerful statement as she states although she does not care about how she is read, the effects of social inspection are often great.

First of all, I had the opportunity to interview Kim Bartells who’s a Licensed Social Worker (LSW) in Michealsen Health Center and learn more about her role as a social work. Before I started interviewing Kim, I asked her if it was alright with her if I recorded the conversation and she said it was fine with it. I started the interview with asking what type of population Michealsen Health Center serves and she told me it was mostly elderly people. Kim works in a “Microlevel intervention involves working with individuals--- separately, in families, or in small groups---to facilitate change in individual behavior or in relationship” (DuBois and Miley 69). This types of individuals she is working with are elderly residents “who utilize long-term care experience a combination of physical or cognitive limitation that require some level of assistance in activities of daily living” (DuBois and Miley 314-315) and their families as well.

As I progress in my career, I feel that it is important to develop a personal style and technique that clients can relate to. I am also interested in learning more about assessments and evaluations as they drive the rehabilitation plan. While I have assessed hundreds of clients, I realize that there is more to learn. For instance, the trend over the next five years will be an increase in applicants who receive state-plan home and community based services. The Final Rule issued by The Center for Medicare and Medicaid will require that individuals receive services in the most integrated settings.
