Choosing your target cohort or group

In order to choose your target group or cohort content and readings from weeks 3-6 will help you. You can choose a more specific target group. For example you may want to focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples but you may want to specifically focus on young people. You may focus on CALD but more specifically refugees or newly arrived migrants. You may want to focus on sexual orientation and more specifically gay young people. You can also choose a target group that we have not covered in class for example you may want to focus on single parents. If you decide to focus on a target group that we have not covered in class check in with your facilitator.

It is important when considering your target group that you are able to create the link back to community services.

Choosing a historical structural factor/approach

We cover historical factors in weeks 3 to 6 under struggles and inequality. However use google scholar to research historical events, policies or legislation that has impacted your group. When choosing your historical factor remember that is has be to be a structural historical factor.

Remember structural oppression is when dominant groups in society gain access to institutions in society therefore have more power in making decisions that shape the society we are living in. We are therefore looking at legislation, policies and socio cultural issues. For example the White Australia policy or Assimilation policies.

If you choose Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples this resource may be useful in exploring history:Our Shared History

People with Disability
Name and Number of Student
Date of Submission 
ASSESSMENT 1: ESSAY PLAN TEMPLATE
The main government documents (may be one or two) I am using to describe the context and my target cohort are:
1) Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (This act was passed by the Australian which prohibits discrimination against people with disabilities in education, employment, provision of goods/services etc.)
2) The National Disability Strategy 2010-2020 (This is a unified national approach of government to improve the lives of people with disabilities, their families and carers).  
Journal articles or newspaper articles that I will use in addition to the required readings in weeks 1, 2, & 3 (APA format) are:
1. Shakespeare, T. (2006). Disability rights and wrongs. Routledge. (Available at: https://www.routledge.com/Disability-Rights-and-Wrongs-Revisited/Shakespeare/p/book/9780415527613)
2. Campbell, J., & Oliver, M. (1996). Disability politics: Understanding our past, changing our future. Routledge. (Available at: https://www.routledge.com/Disability-Politics-Understanding-Our-Past-Changing-Our-Future/Campbell-Oliver/p/book/9780415079990)
3. Morris, J. (1991). Pride against prejudice: Transforming attitudes to disability. Women's Press. (Available at: https://www.scirp.org/(S(351jmbntvnsjt1aadkposzje))/reference/referencespapers.aspx?referenceid=1870779)
These journal articles will be used in the sections on Historical Approaches and Contemporary Issues related to the people with disabilities. 
The definition of multiculturalism and/or diversity I am going to use in this paper is from TONER (2017) and is as follows:  “Multiculturalism recognizes that people from the diverse cultural experiences, backgrounds, families and educations bring valuable and prized knowledge and skills to society or culture. The main purpose is to promote social inclusion and equality of opportunity for all the people” (TONER, 2017, p. 12).
These concepts are important in community services. It is because such concepts reinforce and support the ideas, values and principles of social equality and justice which are significant for offering ethical and effective services to all the people or members of the community/society including those with disabilities. 
The target group/cohort I will be focusing on is PEOPLE WITH DISABILTIES and the key definition and description of this target group/cohort includes those who have long term mental, physical, intellectual or sensory injuries that has a considerable as well as long term effect on their capacity to perform day to day activities.  
The key historical structurally oppressive issue (i.e. social/cultural norm, legislation, policy) that I have chosen is THE MEDICAL MODEL OF DISABILITY the key definition and description of this issue can be described as a perspective that outlooks disability as an individual insufficiency/ pathology, rather than an outcome of societal & cultural barriers and discrimination. The intention and impact of the medical model of disability is to medicalize disability and reject individuals with disabilities from full participation in society and culture. This medical model of disability is fully based on a biomedical perception of disability. On the other hand, this model links a disability diagnosis to an individual’s physical body.     
I will agree in my essay that historical approaches, such as INSTITUTINNALIZATION and MEDICAL MODEL described by Morris 1991 and Campbell and Oliver, 1996, are still impacting inclusion in society today and have major implications for the community service sector. I will support this with research by using the following key authors from the required readings and my additional research: 
1. Toner (2017)
Toner, J. (2017). Disability studies/medical humanities: An emerging transdisciplinary field. Journal of Literary & Cultural Disability Studies, 11(3), 261-278. https://doi.org/10.3828/jlcds.2017.19
