Question 1

In the chapter it is noted that children with disabilities usually have two options if they wish to play sports.One is to find an organized adapted program and the other is to

Accepted Answer

Children with disabilities can play informal games with peers who are willing to make adaptations, allowing them to participate in a way that accommodates their abilities. This option emphasizes inclusivity and adaptability in play settings.

Question 2

The events that occurred when the Paralympics wanted to use the five Olympic rings symbol and the Olympic flag during their event that was to follow the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles demonstrates that the

Accepted Answer

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) initially resisted the Paralympics' use of the Olympic symbols, indicating a lack of support for the Paralympic Games.

Question 3

Special education teacher and physical educator Bob Szyman has been working to establish sports for students with a disability.One of his biggest challenges is that students with a disability were

Accepted Answer

Students with disabilities are sometimes excluded from mainstream activities, and as a result, they may not have any expectation that they will be included in sports teams. This can be a significant obstacle to participation.

Question 4

Media coverage of the Paralympics has been uneven in most countries around the world.In the case of the 2012 Paralympics in London,which of the following countries provided no live coverage and little highlights coverage?

Accepted Answer

The United States provided no live coverage and little highlights coverage of the 2012 Paralympics in London, which marked a notable absence in media coverage given the country's large media market and previous success in Paralympic sports.

Question 5

When the IOC branded itself and its logo,the Paralympics were forced to

Accepted Answer

When the IOC branded itself and its logo, the Paralympics were forced to discontinue the use of the 5-teardrop flag, which was the original flag of the Paralympic Games. The Paralympic Games continued to be held, but without their original flag.

Question 6

When media coverage of the Paralympics occurs in the Empire of the Normal,we could expect to see

Accepted Answer

The Empire of the Normal would likely focus on the technological advancements in prosthetics and the athletes who use them, emphasizing the idea of overcoming disabilities to appear as "normal" as possible. This would likely be of particular interest if the prosthetics are sleek and efficient, giving the impression of superior performance even in comparison to "able-bodied" athletes.

Question 7

Research shows that when athletes with disabilities are covered in mainstream media,they are portrayed as "courageous victims" or

Accepted Answer

Athletes with disabilities are often portrayed in mainstream media as "heroic supercrips," a term that reflects an exaggerated sense of heroism and exceptionalism based on their ability to overcome disabilities, rather than focusing on their athletic achievements or treating them as multidimensional individuals. This portrayal reinforces stereotypes rather than acknowledging their skills and accomplishments in sports.

Question 8

According to the Americans with Disability Act,all youth sports open to the public must allow children with disabilities to play unless

Accepted Answer

The Americans with Disability Act allows children with disabilities to play in all youth sports open to the public unless it would threaten the safety of able-bodied participants. This means that if a child's disability puts themselves or others in harm's way, they may not be able to participate. However, if safety measures can be put in place to mitigate any risk, then the child should be allowed to play. The other options listed are not valid reasons for denying a child with a disability the opportunity to participate in youth sports.

Question 9

People who define disability by using the social model are likely to view

Accepted Answer

The social model of disability views disability as a social issue that is created by societal barriers and attitudes, rather than being an inherent characteristic of an individual. Therefore, people who define disability by using the social model are likely to see disability as a social issue in need of a social solution. They may advocate for changes in society that will remove barriers and create more opportunities for people with disabilities to fully participate in all aspects of life. The Americans with Disabilities Act is an example of such legislation that was put in place to address many of these issues. Political activism and medical treatment may also be important, but they are not necessarily the primary focus of the social model approach to disability.

Question 10

Ludwig Guttmann,the father of sports for people with disabilities,was labelled as a radical in 1948 because he

Accepted Answer

Guttmann's approach of organizing public sporting events for people with disabilities forced society to confront bodies with disabilities in public, which was considered radical at the time.

Question 11

Which of the following would be out of place in the Empire of the Normal?

Accepted Answer

In the Empire of the Normal, scenarios that segregate or exclude people with disabilities are expected, making option B, which describes inclusive sport leagues that mix ability levels, out of place. This option suggests integration and inclusivity, contrasting with the exclusionary practices implied in the other options.

Question 12

In the Empire if the Normal,sports for people with a disability are usually covered as special interest stories.They will not be covered as real sport stories until

Accepted Answer

People with disabilities becoming fully integrated into the larger community would indicate that their abilities and achievements are seen as valid and equal to those of able-bodied individuals. This would lead to sports for people with disabilities being covered as real sport stories, rather than just special interest stories. The other options focus on external factors such as representation or pity, rather than the actual acceptance and integration of individuals with disabilities into society.

Question 13

The history of disability is a series of stories about how people in various cultures have given meaning to physical and intellectual "difference." "Disability" comes to exist when people with certain differences are defined as

Accepted Answer

Disability as we understand it today only comes into existence when people with certain physical or intellectual differences are defined as "others" and are given over to care by experts. This has happened throughout history, with disabled individuals being confined to institutions or in some cases even being killed. Disability has often been seen as a burden to be borne by those who are able-bodied, with little recognition of the value or worth of disabled individuals.

Question 14

When using a social model of disability,dealing with disability involves

Accepted Answer

According to the social model of disability, the main focus should be on eliminating social and physical barriers that limit participation for people with disabilities. This includes efforts to make society more accessible and inclusive for everyone, rather than attempting to make individuals with disabilities conform to the norms of a non-disabled society. The other choices (A, C, and D) do not align with the principles of the social model of disability.

Question 15

At this time there are multiple barriers that inhibit regular sport participation among people with a disability.Which of the following is not one of those barriers?

Accepted Answer

While the other options mentioned are common barriers faced by people with a disability when it comes to participating in sports, an unwillingness of people with a disability to compete against each other is not a commonly reported barrier. In fact, many people with disabilities find competitive sports to be a way to showcase their abilities and challenge themselves. Therefore, option C is not a correct answer.

Question 16

Popular images ignore disability or represent (dis)abled bodies as different.This creates for people with disabilities

Accepted Answer

Popular images often portray people with disabilities as different from the norm, which can lead to the perception that they need to explain or justify their difference. This can create a sense of otherness or marginalization for people with disabilities.

Answer: D
 While popular representation can be limiting and stereotypical, it can also provide opportunities for individuals with disabilities to explore and develop their own identities based on their skills and abilities. By emphasizing their strengths rather than their differences, individuals with disabilities can organize their identities around what they can do rather than what they can't.

Question 17

In order to survive during the 21^st century,the International Paralympic Association has

Accepted Answer

Adopting a commercial approach similar to that used by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) would help the International Paralympic Association (IPA) to ensure financial sustainability and survive during the 21st century. The IOC generates a significant amount of revenue through sponsorships, broadcasting rights, and merchandise sales, which could also be employed by the IPA to support its events and operations. Allowing the IOC to manage its events (option A) or eliminating the Paralympic Games (option D) would negatively impact the IPA's autonomy and brand recognition. Asking all Paralympic athletes to work as fundraisers (option C) would not be a feasible solution as it would divert their focus from training and competing at the highest level.

Question 18

U.S.Education Secretary Arne Duncan issued a letter in 2013 informing school officials that they were expected to provide equal sport participation opportunities for students with a disability.The primary response he received was

Accepted Answer

The letter issued by Arne Duncan regarding equal sport participation opportunities for students with a disability was met with expressions of panic among school officials who anticipated problems. This response indicates that there was concern and potentially a lack of understanding or preparation for implementing the guidelines set forth in the letter.

Question 19

In their study of two Paralympic promotion campaigns,Silva and Howe found that representations of athletes in the Paralympics varied widely and often created controversy.They attributed this to the fact that

Accepted Answer

Silva and Howe found that the representations of athletes in Paralympic promotion campaigns varied widely and often created controversy due to the lack of consensus on how disability should be represented in sports events. This suggests that option C is the correct choice. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they make false assumptions about why athletes with disabilities create controversy in sports events.

Question 20

Gender ideology influences the meaning given to one's body as we age.This influence is experienced by older

Accepted Answer

Gender ideology influences the meaning given to one's body as we age, regardless of gender or involvement in sports. Therefore, both men and women in and out of sports can experience this influence. Option A and D are incorrect as they suggest that only women are affected by gender ideology, which is not true. Option B is incorrect as it suggests that only men in sports are affected, which excludes women in sports and those outside of sports.
