EXPLORE
Film: I Am Sam
1. Sam's defining characteristics include his unwavering love for Lucy, his childlike
wonder and innocence, and his determination to be the best father he can be, even in the
face of adversity and societal prejudice. While his intellectual limitations create challenges,
they also highlight his pure heart and unconditional love, which ultimately become central to
the film's message about the true meaning of family and parenthood.
2. Sam Dawson's exceptionality in the movie "I Am Sam" is his intellectual disability. He
has a mental capacity like that of a 7-year-old child. Sam struggles with complex concepts,
abstract thinking, and problem-solving beyond a basic level. He relies on routines, repetition,
and familiar environments to navigate his daily life.
3. In the movie "I Am Sam," the main character, Sam Dawson, experiences a multitude
of problems and difficulties primarily stemming from his intellectual disability. Sam faces
prejudice and misunderstanding from people who underestimate his abilities and love for his
daughter due to his disability.
4. In the movie "I Am Sam," Sam Dawson received significant support from various
people in his environment, helping him navigate his challenges: his friends, Sam's close-knit
group of friends, who also have intellectual disabilities, provide unwavering emotional
support, companionship, and practical help with Lucy's care. His agoraphobic neighbor,
Annie, becomes a crucial caregiver for Lucy, stepping in when Sam is unable to and offering
maternal guidance.
2. As I advocate the people first language to 5 persons about how to use people first
language when referring to learners with exceptionalities, I learn that the people first
language emphasizes the individuality, equality and dignity of people with disabilities.
The human first language pays homage to the fact that people with disabilities are, first
and foremost, the very people, rather than defining people primarily by disability.
Employers should use their first language when talking about disability issues verbally
or in writing.
