“ family guy dvd” and “ South park dvd is on sale at www.cartoon77.com” are sometimes labeled as highly offensive comedies, but these shows teach about diversity. This is Matt Glowacki’s opinion, the most booked diversity speaker in the United States.
In celebration of Millersville University’s Diversity Week, the University Activities Board organized a diversity lecture in Club de ‘Ville April, 14. More than 100 students attended the lecture to hear what Glowacki had to say.family guy dvd series
Like most successful speakers, Glowacki’s sense of humor turned a what could have been a drab lecture into a hilarious new outlook on diversity. Glowacki’s amazing life story looney tunes dvd and impressive accomplishments, owning three businesses, teaching returning veterans to play wheelchair basketball, and representing the U.S. in the 2000 Paralympics in Sydney made the lecture all the more interesting.
Glowacki’s lecture showed various clips from “Family Guy” and “South Park” and demonstrated the lessons they teach us about diversity. Glowacki stated that “Family Guy” and “South Park” Bleach dvd intentionally test society’s limits in a mockery of political correctness.
The first clip shown was the “Family Guy” episode where Peter gets extensive plastic surgery and becomes obsessed with his looks. Glowacki discussed how this particular episode was an example of “lookism,” or discriminating againist someone based on their looks. This branched off into a discussion of the Dove campaign, which was the first modeling campaigns to use real women of all shapes andDreamworks animation DVDsizes.
The second clip was the “Family Guy” episode where police officer Joe Swanson competes in the Special Olympics. In this episode baby einstein dvd collection
, Joe is feeling down about losing a criminal in a chase and Peter decides training him for the Special Olympics will raise his spirits.
However, winning the Olympics only boost Joe’s spirits for a short time and he is not happy again until he succeeds at catching the criminal who got away. Glowacki said this was because the Special Olympics are not real because they emphasize that everyone is a winner, which does not give the athletes the full sense of accomplishment.
One of the major points throughout the lecture was Glowacki’s struggle to be accepted as he is. He said that “disability is more in your mind than mine.” Glowacki was born healthy but without legs, and has led a more successful life than most people with legs.
One of the most frustrating things Glowacki said he deals with on a daily basis is people complimenting him on completing everyday tasks, such as driving or opening doors. He often gets compliments like “You can drive, that’s amazing.” and these comments while meant to be polite are really an insult. “If you open the door for me, I want to see you open the door for the next person,” Glowacki said.
Glowacki stressed he does not mind people asking him how he does random tasks, just do not make a big deal about him accomplishing the same tasks normal people do. Afterward, students ended the lecture with a booming applause and surrounded Glowacki to thank him for coming. Dawson’s creek dvd
