https://padlet.com/michellemoss1/qdo2uqt5q8paezbv This week we looked at the history and the rationale behind psychological assessments. Here you can share your resources and thoughts about what we have learnt en-us 2021-07-14 02:07:30 UTC 2022-04-06 04:05:18 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/michellemoss1/qdo2uqt5q8paezbv/wish/2106320562 My thinking and learning around eugenics and the laws that followed got me thinking about the three levels of ‘white’ people that were determined as ideal for breeding and how it engendered laws such as those horrific one in Australia to breed out Aboriginal peoples. It resonated and triggered thinking in terms of disability in all its forms as being viewed as less than in society and needing breeding out. As a result the discussion around the best ways of doing this being sterilisation AND not treating the illness or disability to shorten life and drain on the public purse. For the current age this is still evident in NDIS & Myaged care; where they give a little or nothing hoping that the applicants or participants give up or die in the process - similarly with applicants for home care packages in aged care]]> 2022-03-21 23:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/michellemoss1/qdo2uqt5q8paezbv/wish/2106320562 https://padlet.com/michellemoss1/qdo2uqt5q8paezbv/wish/2109180377 It actually makes me cringe to know that this and Darwinism was a way of thinking and being for majority of society. The superior nature of people, their righteous, controlling and narcissistic ways of being, makes my blood boil....lol

I could never understand why the majority people past and present (excluding people in this course obviously) are void of empathy, humanistic values and commonsense. I have always been the point of difference in my family and social & societal circles that points the lack of these empathetic qualities out to other - being the black sheep or hippy ect, which I take as a compliment. 
For example; for generations during these periods to think that it's ok to sterilise or bred the interbreed people, just because someone thinks their opinion is the one that is right, is beyond me. Sorry this has obviously touched a nerve.
