This will be a harem, however the harem is subject to change-----Prologue-----I know this is kind of sudden, but, please, it will only take a moment.Are people equal or not?A proper society will constantly strive for equality. There are those who clamor for men and women to always be considered equal. As a result, we raised the employment rate for women, we made specialized subway cars only for women. Sometimes, women will even argue over the order of names in a family register. The public opinion of people with disabilities has also changed. We're now told that we should not use the term "disabled people" when referring to them.Nowadays, children are taught that all people are created equal.But is that true? If men and women have different abilities, then their roles should also differ. People with disabilities are still disabled. It doesn't matter if we use a different term for it.So, my answer would be, "No". To be human is to be unequal. Equality does not exist.Long ago, in a bygone era, a great man said that heaven does not set one man above or below any other. However, he did not necessarily adhere to the idea that everyone is equal. Did you know that there is more to that famous passage? The rest goes like this: Everyone is equal when they are born, so I ask, why do we see differences in position and status? And it continues: Do you or do you not encourage learning to create a difference? So then, education creates an imbalance. The point's spelled out there, in the incredibly famous work Gakumon no Sume.In any case, we are human beings. We are living, thinking creatures.I don't think it right to simply say that we are unequal and then live our lives based on pure instinct. In other words, though "equality" is a complete lie, we cannot accept inequality, either.Hey, you there. You, the one reading this book right now. Have you ever given serious thought to the future?…

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world." - Nelson Mandela."In 2019-20, the number of students ages 3-21 who received special education services under the Individual with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) was 7.3 million, or 14 percent of all public school students." - Students With Disabilities (2021), National Center for Education Statistics.Resources for students with disabilities are widely disbursed and accessible in grade school; however, university environments pose a barrier to education that discourage students from striving for post-secondary education.

I might not change the world, but I can inform others about the struggle for a fair opportunity to succeed.…
![A Silence Full of Sound [hiatus]](https://teenfic.net/cover/a-silence-full-of-sound-hiatus-237217954.jpg)
Can a woman who cannot hear speak loud enough to be heard? Can she force people who deal in appearances to look past the surface to the real problems beneath? ----------------------------------------In the aftermath of an assassination attempt on the president, Trauma Specialist Dr. Aria "Ria" Brewer is called in to provide counseling for one of the victims of the shooting. In the process she finds herself drawn ever more into the inner workings of the White House and, in particular, to the enigmatic personality of the Chief of Staff, Leo McGarry.Struggling with feelings she never expected to come up again, especially not for such an older man, Ria must also scramble to find her footing in a world where opinions can have far reaching effects and consequences. Slowly she comes to realize that the shooting trauma runs far deeper than many are willing to admit and that too many eyes on the opposing side and in the Democratic party are watching for any hint of weakness."A Silence Full of Sound" is about the profound, unexpected love between a younger deaf woman and an older hearing man both of whom work in politics. It's a story about accessibility and seeing people as more than their age or their demons or even their disabilities.…
Discover how power works in the world, through true stories and real-world applications. In the game of power, we all play - as either conscious or unconscious players. So we can't afford not to know the rules. The ** chapters have the most outrageous content. In each chapter, I will be summarizing one of the laws and how it can be applied to current events and pop culture. Some of you have told me the stories are what you enjoy the most. They are real, raw, and anonymous so that others may learn from my mistakes. There will be cringe-worthy stories of self-sabotage, but perhaps also some unlikely triumphs. Some of the details are changed to protect the innocent, (or perhaps guilty). "The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene illustrates truths about power, through philosophy and lessons from three thousand years of history, which still hold true today. There is a lot to learn from each chapter. I encourage you to go on this journey with me by reflecting on how each law might apply to you. Together, may we learn from the past and take control of the future.…
A loving spouse. A healer. How does this person cope with evil villains willing to destroy everything? They convicted the victim... now how does the victim goes on with life as a healer?As the book opens, I was in a psychiatric hospital following a suicide attempt in December 2019. What starts as a simple conversation with another patient changed my life. Most of the rest of the book tells the reader how I got to this point. I experienced profound injustice between 2004 and 2006. By opening with a story about suicide, I want the reader to understand that the injustice was not just something that happened long ago. This book is an account of all the accomplishments and successes that I had in overcoming tremendous odds and challenges. Growing up, I was paralyzed by shyness and lacked social skills, and so the idea of becoming a psychotherapist never occurred to me when I went off to college. I learned that I could overcome those limitations. I wanted to bring that hope and healing to others. Activities like that make life meaningful and bring me joy. The reasons why I was suicidal in 2019 were set in motion in 2000 when a meteor would come crashing down upon the life that I had built leaving me powerless to do anything other than watching everything burn to ashes - the home that I had, the life I had known, the love I had, my career, everything would disappear almost as if it never existed. In that one the year 2000, I could not imagine things could get any worse. But the nightmare would continue for the next few years... culminating in a suicide attempt in 2019. Now, I am connecting with others, building relationships, and finding a reason to live again. I am writing my own story of my life. My parents Bruce Martin Whealton Sr. and Kathleen Murphy Whealton were actually guilty of assault on a minor while their son, me, Bruce Martin Whealton Jr. NEVER harmed anyone but had to suffer as I was a perpetrator when I was only ever a victim.…

A collection of essays and writings that I have done throughout my college years onwards ranging from history and research to poetry and philosophical essays on how I see the world. Throughout my school years from my first day of second grade up until my high school graduation I had been the subject of bullying and ridicule by my peers just because I am different and I see the world in a different light. Although I experienced a new environment once I entered college and I was finally accepted by my peers for the person who I truly am despite my disabilities, I still considered myself as the Black Sheep of my family and I knew once I finished school it would be difficult for me to get a normal job due to the fact that I have a high-functioning form of Autism known as Asperger's Syndrome along with dyspraxia. I hope through my writings people will begin to see that people with any type of disability or disorder are capable of doing anything that they can do. I also hope that those who read my work will begin to finally realize that Autism is not a disease and that I am not broken and that I want people to accept me for the way I am. I may be a disabled person, but that doesn't mean that I am not a human being with thoughts and feelings like everyone else.…
