Disability Environment

Individuals with a physical disability view disability culture in more personal and artistic contexts. Individuals with physical disabilities feel they construct a culture through encounters that shape individual identity and identity formation. They feel they have forged a group identity, share a common history of oppression and a common bond of resilience. Pride is a big part of their identity, and are very proud as people with disabilities. Therefore disability culture is a set of artifacts, beliefs, expressions created by disabled people themselves to describe their own life experiences. It is not primarily how they are treated, but what they have created (Darrow, 2013). They declare their membership within their social group, and recognize the objectifications they face, which oppresses them through social structures, individual attitudes and institutional practices. It should be recognized that they have a shared experience within society and the consequences of having a physical impairment result in a shared experience of oppression (Lawson, 2001).

as initiatives such as ‘Our Health Our Care Our Say’, ‘Putting People First’ and ‘Valuing People’ are changing how we look at disability and making people aware that all disabled people have the right to take a full part in society.

As the trend of recognition and celebration continues for the privileged achievers born with a silver spoon into a life with physical, emotional, financial, and/or social stability, the other common theme that the disabled community regularly witnesses is the expectation of adaptability and optimism. The society expects the disabled community to be thankful for their donations and benevolence rather than striving for an equally successful life. In this picture, the ADAPT organization is fiercely preparing the disabled citizens to not only adapt to procure success but furthermore, it is training them to resist against the patriarchy to protect the rights of their own community and of others. As the grassroots the United States disability rights organization, ADAPT expands its operations in 30 states through well-initiated system and chapters.

We encounter disability everywhere we go and we do not realize it. Prior to this assignment, I never acknowledged how frequently we encounter disability. Some of my encounters over this 24-Hour period have been positive ones, but some focused on disability in a negative way.

For this assignment, I decided to assess and identify how a place in the community can enable or hinder participation for people experiencing disability in my workplace, Sportchek east. I was curious to see how my workplace compared to the standards towards helping to enable the experience of someone experiencing a disability. Sportchek is a company that sells athletic wear and sports equipment. At the beginning of this assignment, I thought that Sportchek was, for the most part, accessible.
