1. When you think of disability, what comes to your mind? Write at least a few sentences.

Video 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PLk8Pm_XBJE  

Questions for during the video:
2. What is the difference between someone with synthetic limbs and a cyborg?

3. What is proprioception?

4. Why do traditional prostheses break one's proprioception of the limb?

5. What is an AMI and what does it enable?

Video 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oskLD-R0s9k 

Questions for during the video:
6. What is Angel's fun party trick?

7. What are some ways Angel customized her prosthestic to make it more her?

Video 3 https://www.ted.com/talks/stella_young_i_m_not_your_inspiration_thank_you_very_much

Questions for during the video:
8. Why did stella's parents think she shouldn't get a community achievement award?

9. What does stella say the purpose of "inspirational images of people with disabilities" really is?

10. What is the social model of disability?

11. What are the three examples of accessiblity that Stella said no amount of smiling or a positive attitude can provide?

Questions for after the videos (These should reflect a good amount of thought and explanation of your reasoning):
12. Hugh Herr has said, “Humans are not disabled. A person can never be broken. Our built environment, our technologies, are broken and disabled. We the people need not accept our limitations, but can transcend disability through technological innovation.” This is a way of describing the social model of disability. Is the social model of disability a new concept for you? What do you think about it? Why?

13. Roughly 185,000 amputations occur annually in the United States. Additionally, up to 4,500 babies have congenital limb amputations.  According to an article in the AMA Journal of Ethics linked below, "Perhaps the greatest cause of prosthesis- and rehabilitation-related disparities in outcomes for those who have had amputations is cost, and there are also, in some cases, drastic limitations on insurance coverage of the necessary prosthetic devices and services." Angel's Bebionic hand costs roughly $30,000. Should socioeconomic disparities (differences in how much money people have) determine who does and doesn't get advanced prostheses? Why or why not?

14. Recently, a lawsuit was filed against the health insurance company Cigna claiming that they used AI algorithms to wrongfully deny insurance claims for patients. According to the ProPublica article linked below, this algorithm allowed the human doctor who is supposed to review these claims individually to spend less than 10 seconds determining that 50 claims at a time were medically unnecessary. What role should society play in preventing harm to individuals from the way advances in technology are used? Why?

15. Disability justice advocate Javed Abidi said in an interview, "We need to shift our mindset, and the world needs to catch-up. The past cannot be wiped-away, but the future can be written. We have to make a pledge that no building in the world will ever be constructed without considering access. It doesn’t cost a single penny extra, it’s a design issue… The world, and our world leaders and opinion makers are yet to realise the full potential of universal design. We need to have a world with infrastructure, built environment and services that all of us whether old, young, tall, short, man, woman or otherwise can use with dignity and safety." Apply this idea to computing and the internet. What considerations should be made when designing websites or programs that involve text, audio, and video? Why?

3. In a google doc, explain what you missed and why. Write out the definition of the term you missed with an example from your turtle art code.
4. Submit that google doc here.
]]> Fri, 01 Dec 2023 08:41:10 PST //www.sphstigers.org/homeworkItem9530753 //www.sphstigers.org/apps/classes/1050379/assignments/ If you were having trouble getting started with the art, I have provided starter code for you here that has all of the shape functions completed: https://gist.github.com/gshorrSPHS/186c2abc1b87d25b5d2618d481f76c2d

Once again, just like Monday, keep working on your turtle art. There is always more detail to add, so continue to add things to it today and Wednesday. Dr. Hendricks will be checking to see who is wasting time in class and that will affect your grade on this project.
There are two acceptable uses of your time in class today:
1. Working on your own art project.
2. Helping others with their art projects (and that means actually helping, not just socializing).

Submission Instructions:Submit a google doc with TWO things in it:
1. Your full code.
2. A screenshot of your finished picture.
To take a screenshot:
Take a screenshot by pressing CMD+SHIFT+4
Use the crosshairs to click and drag to select the area you want to screenshot
The screenshot appears on the desktop with the title "Screenshot on" and then a timestamp.
Rename the file by clicking on the file, pressing return once, and then giving it a relevant name that describes your drawing with .png at the end
