Douglas C. Baynton argues in his article, “Disability and the Justification of Inequality in American History”, that the concept of disability is culturally constructed and has been paid little to no attention to throughout history. He also argues that the term disability plays an important role in justifying discriminations against minority groups, based on gender, race, and ethnicity. He states that “Disability has functioned historically to justify inequality for disabled people themselves, but it has also done so for women and minority groups. That is, not only has it been considered justifiable to treat disabled people unequally, but the concept of disability has been used to justify discrimination against other groups by attributing disability to them.” (Baynton 94) He used women’s suffrage, African American freedom, and immigration restriction as examples to show how disability played an essential role in illustrating how minorities who were labeled as disabled were treated with discrimination. As they were labeled with disability, discrimination against them became justifiable, which ultimately proves that discrimination against disabled was thought as justifiable and were looked over.

University Of Balamand Faculty of Health Sciences English Communication Skills (Eng203) Critical analysis of “Disability” by Nancy Mairs Priscilla Farah May 11, 2012 Author of disability Nancy Mairs who’s a feminist and a cripple, has accomplished a lot in writing and teaching. Her remarkable personality shows in many of her essays especially in Disability which was first published in 1987 in the New York Times. In this essay, Nancy Mairs shows how disabled people are constantly excluded, especially from the media. By giving out facts and including her personal experiences, Mairs aims for making some changes regarding the relationship between the media and people with disabilities. Mairs thesis is shown implicitly in the first

This is not just a disadvantage to disabled people in the United States, it is a problem world wide. In the United Kingdom, only 6 percent of young disabled people are employed (O'mahony). All this leaving the United Kingdom with just “less than one in 20 people with a mental or physical disability are in paid employment”(O’mahony). Disabled people around the world in different nations are taken away the feeling of usefulness and the feeling of accomplishment. Affecting the disabled both financially but also emotionally.

Ableism Introduction Many groups of people experience disenfranchisement. This paper will seek to review people experiencing disenfranchisement related to ableism in its various forms. The oppression of the disabled and the social injustices they bear will be considered, as well as the myths and stereotypes associated to the disabled. The author will seek to gain knowledge and understanding of this group of people and their functioning within our society.

Gallegos 2 They basically did everything together. If one went out to the backyard so did the other. If I called out, “Morgan!”, Dopey would come along as well. We’ve had Dopey the longest, and as Morgan got older so did Dopey. A year ago he had gotten sick, and he just wasn’t the same anymore. He wouldn’t eat or even move. So we decided to put him down. That year Morgan had lost her best friend; and it was tragic.

The bond that they share is the same of that that is shared by a father and his son- Jim

In contrast to this, in ‘Disabled’, Owen describes how he was trapped in a dark world after his injury, and couldn’t rise above the suffering that he faced. “Waiting for dark” portrays how physically unable Owen was. After losing his leg, it seemed as if all he did was wait for the dark to come so he could sleep. He had lost all happiness in his life, and was left in utter despair, just waiting for his life to finally relinquish. Owen shows the reader how he allowed society to depress and overthrow him, which contradicts Angelou’s view on facing hardship. Using omniscient narration in this poem enables the reader to know how Owen felt when he was struggling, and gives a deep insight into the hardships that he faced, that would be hard to discern if the poem was told in first or second perspective.

In the realm of critical disability studies (CDS), it is interesting to explore how the field of CDS explores the lived experience and collaboration of the disabled and non-disabled researchers that are creating the CDS literature itself. Tregaskis and Goodley uncovered the importance of recognizing this in their work on the collaboration of disabled and non-disabled researchers in CDS (2005). Tregaskis and Goodley highlight barriers that these relationships may present to the research, and identify the role that interdependence has among all CDS researchers. Interdependence among the disabled and non-disabled aims to create a foundation of equality and trust. By focusing on the commonalities and the unity of the two parties working to the

Owen uses a metaphor:"waiting for dark", which shows the reader that the man has nothing to do. This emphasises how the character is very lonely with nothing to do, no one to talk to and nothing to keep him from his thoughts, which shows the reader the dull, endless life that he has been forced to live. "dark" is a metaphor for death: the man feels as though his life is so pointless that he is just waiting for death, which emphasises how bland and dull his life

I chose to do this reading response on Valle’s article on rethinking disabilities. This piece begins by talking bringing up the notion that when one reveals that they are a special education teacher, instantly they are looked at and thought about differently. Next, the piece goes on to discuss

This 61- year old claimant is filing a DIB claim alleging disability due to non alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver, type II diabetes not controlled, and gall bladder attacks

Despite the response to disability varying greatly between times, places and cultures (Barnes, 2012), there is no doubt that disability has an immeasurable impact on people’s lives. Disability affects an individual’s identity and their ability to work, socialise and be involved in society. In this essay I will discuss how approaches to disability have changed over time, specifically how approaches to disability have developed in recent centuries. I will start by discussing the medical model before moving on to its direct challenge in the social model. Finally I will discuss responses to the social model, in particular the biopsychosocial model.
