Article: One way to think about stigma and social categories is through the concept, identity positions.  Essentially, this concept is used by some psychologists, linguists, and sociologists to represent our identities. These can sometimes be positioned against each other. In this way, identities are used to organize people and to structure how we think about people. According to law professor Kevin Barry, some of these identity positions are:   How capable we are: "ability vs. inability." How limited we are: "mild vs. severe." How we fit into the world: "normal vs. abnormal." How free we are: "independence vs. dependence." How healthy we are: "health vs. sickness." Some of the binaries listed here can become associated with being gay, autistic or blind, for example. In this way, people are sometimes seen as being “less than” others without these identities. Educate yourself on the way your particular identity is shaped by stigma. Learn as much as you can about the nature of your identity. Then, you'll feel less isolated.  For example, 22% of American adults suffer from some form of a mental health condition. Yet only half report it. Did you know that almost 1 in 3 (33.2%) of US children and teens are considered to be overweight or obese? Learning about what you're dealing with can help you feel less alone. Seeing that millions upon millions of other people have to deal with the same thing in some way, shape or form can help you realize just how doable this is. You'll also likely run into resources and inspirational stories along your quest for knowledge. Certain rights are afforded to people to ensure that people are treated equally and fairly. Regardless of whether you have a disability, you may be protected by certain rights.  Constitutional rights, for example, include freedom of religion, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly and so on. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed in 1990 in order to work towards affording persons with mental or physical disabilities the same working opportunities and public services expected by all Americans. These rights include both state and local government services (such as assistance programs), public accommodations, access to commercial facilities, and everyday transportation options. In 2010, a list of standards were added the ADA to address building accessibility problems in already constructed buildings and to ensure the access to buildings constructed in the future. The criteria for disability are as follows:  A physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities of such individual A record of such an impairment Being regarded as having such an impairment. If you fit this definition in any way, you may have certain legal protections against discrimination. Discrimination against stigmatized people happens all too often. The good thing is that you may have legal protections. If anyone takes advantage of you, you can fight back.  For example, all disabled people are protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). If you feel you didn't get the job, got fired, got taken advantage of or evicted by your landlord, or have otherwise faced discrimination due to the stigma, consider taking legal action. You likely have health, medical, housing, workplace, and general human rights on your side. While you may be entitled to pursue legal action if your individual rights have been violated, be sure to weigh the pros and cons of doing so. If the discrimination wasn’t consequential to your future goals, perhaps it is best ignored in order to avoid the time and hassle (and often money) often associated with a legal battle. However, it’s important to know that you always have the right to take this option if you so choose.

Problem: Article: People rarely go directly in to the poop tube. Instead, poop directly on to a paper product if you’re on the ground or a plastic bag if you’re rock climbing. To have a bowel movement on a paper product, lay it out flat on the ground and squat over it. To go into a plastic bag when you’re climbing, hold the handles of the plastic bag and spread it out underneath you.  Many people opt to use coffee filters. The advantage of coffee filters is that they have a built-in lip around the edges which makes them easy to fold up. The disadvantage is that they’re pretty thin and small when compared to other options. Some outdoor enthusiasts prefer paper towels. Paper towels are good because you can rip off as many pieces as you need. The downside is that paper towels are a little harder to carry and can blow away in the wind. If you’re using plastic bags, make sure that you inspect each bag for holes before packing them in your backpack. If you’ve pooped on a paper product, lift each corner of the paper and bring it over the center of the paper. Pinch the corners together to lift the paper up. If you’ve taken your bowl movement over a plastic bag, raise the handles out in front of you and tie the handles together in a simple knot. If you want to ensure that your hands stay clean, pack some disposable rubber gloves in your hiking or climbing gear. Put them on before you use the poop tube and throw them in with your waste when you’re done. Next, grab a large, sealable plastic bag—a heavy-duty freezer bag or food storage bag will work well. Open it and spread the opening out wide. Carefully drop your plastic bag or paper product into the bag. If you’re up in the air during a long climb, use your nondominant hand to hold the airtight bag open in your lap while you guide the dirty plastic bag into it. With your poop inside the airtight plastic bag, seal it while gently forcing air out through the top of the bag. Then, gently roll the plastic bag up and open your poop tube. Slide the bag into the poop tube on its side and close the cap tight to finish using your poop tube. Clean your poop tube thoroughly after every use. Once you’ve thrown away your used bags, clean the tube with warm water, soap, and a wash cloth. Let the tube air dry outside and wash your hands with soap and water.
Summary: Poop on a paper towel or inside of a plastic bag. Fold your paper product over or close the plastic bag. Stick the paper or plastic inside a sealable airtight bag. Seal your bag and stick it inside of your poop tube.

For much of the film, Burton’s Alice wears a blue dress that falls close to ankle-length.  In some scenes her blue dress is loosely draped and worn off the shoulder. However, in the court scene she wears a strapless red tea-length dress with white and black sheer overlay.  Adults may own a suitable red cocktail dress. The loosely draped version of the blue dress would be difficult to buy or construct, but could be appropriate as an informal toga-style costume. Vintage stores and thrift shops can be good places to find affordable longer dresses that can be modified to look like Alice's film costume. In the film, Alice does not wear the iconic white pinafore.  However, the overlay on the red dress is something like an apron worn backwards; open at the front, covering the back. You can make your own reverse pinafore by tying a length of black and white fabric across the back of a red dress, and draping part over one shoulder. In the film, Alice wears white-tinted stockings but they are sheer and not terribly distinctive.  In warm weather, going without stockings would likely be as appropriate as wearing nylons. Burton’s Alice wears white lace-up boots with a kitten heel and a black toe.  These might be quite difficult to find.  Black and white saddle shoes might provide a convincing alternative. Some websites that feature vintage imitation clothing, such as Modcloth, stock high heels in black and white that look similar. Purchasing a pair of white boots from a thrift store and painting them with black accents is an affordable alternative. Alice’s hair is blonde and parted down the center.  It falls in loose waves around her shoulders without a headband or other styling.  If your hair is naturally straight, use a curling iron or hot rollers to achieve more body. If your hair is naturally a color or texture that makes imitating the film look impossible, consider wearing a wig to achieve the full effect.
