Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.36,0:01:34.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,was the confrontation of

Dialogue: 0,0:02:49.57,0:02:53.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and quite often the experiences

Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.10,0:02:59.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but in fact it is.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:00.28,0:03:02.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the big difference is
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.94,0:03:06.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that were people motivated,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.79,0:03:10.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,eventually things change and adapt.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.84,0:03:12.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've noticed it most
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.92,0:03:14.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in education.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.05,0:03:17.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that I teach
Dialogue: 0,0:03:17.27,0:03:22.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,at Chapman University, since 1981,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:22.08,0:03:24.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so before the ADA.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.14,0:03:40.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I've had students
Dialogue: 0,0:03:40.83,0:03:43.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who actually grew up knowing
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.06,0:03:46.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the ADA existed
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.02,0:03:50.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they're the so-called "ADA generation"
Dialogue: 0,0:03:51.01,0:03:54.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Which makes a big difference
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.24,0:03:59.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People are claiming disability and trying
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.45,0:04:03.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to make the world a better place.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.10,0:04:07.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, in many cases, they're successful
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.48,0:04:09.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in some cases, not.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.82,0:04:12.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But there are reasons for it
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.25,0:04:15.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and I think there's a desire
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.33,0:04:19.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to understand the reasons.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.33,0:04:21.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think they want us to

Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.50,0:04:32.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where and how people live
Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.49,0:04:36.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the contrast between nursing homes
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.84,0:04:39.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and lacks of the community

Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.12,0:05:21.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think one of the
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.60,0:05:25.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,unfortunate things we are seeing
Dialogue: 0,0:05:25.34,0:05:29.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the lack of forward movement
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.42,0:05:32.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,toward nursing home reforms
Dialogue: 0,0:05:32.29,0:05:34.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or estates
