Mistreatment Of The Disabled

People with disabilities may experience a higher rate of domestic violence than those without a disability. It is sometimes difficult for disabled victims to seek out help due to their disability. The level of difficulty varies depending on the type of disability the person suffers from. A disability could be mental, and not affect the person’s mobility, or it could be a complete paralysis that requires constant assistance to perform even minor tasks. Domestic violence occurs in every demographic and is usually perpetrated by an intimate partner but it can also be perpetrated by a hired caretaker when the victim is a disabled person.

The former US President Bill Clinton said, “New information and communications technologies can improve the quality of life for people with disabilities, but only if such technologies are designed from the beginning, so that everyone can use them.” Discussing disabilities in general will take longer than one day. I am going to talk about physical disabilities .As the Longman dictionary defines physical disability is a limitation of a person 's physical functioning, mobility, dexterity and stamina. The issue of disability is not just a matter that concerns disabled people. It has been the problem for ages in the American history and if it is not controlled it can cause big fight. When someone is disabled, it does not mean that he or she cannot be educated. According to the Washington Post, education is the breath of life, without it man cannot survive. Education is free in America, which means everyone can obtain an equal education. One would ask if colleges have gone too far to accommodate students with disabilities. Colleges have not gone far enough to support the disabled.

For starters, disabled people in the United States were not always treated equal, as they are today. As recent as the mid 1900’s, disabled people were stripped of their rights and experimented on. From 1950 to 1972 the Willowbrook State

The physically and mentally impaired were shunned by society. Employers didn't want to hire them because they weren't as “useful” as other workers, making it difficult for them to fins jobs. The lack of jobs meant that they couldn't usually afford decent housing or medical treatments for themselves, of any existed. Numerous building and other infrastructure were inaccessible by disabled people. This events lead disabled people into self-destructive thinking that they were inadequate and helpless

Before the twentieth century, social outlooks reflected the views of many that people with disabilities which viewed disabled people as unhealthy, flawed and abnormal. For many years, society as a whole treated disabled people as objects out of fear and pity. The predominant approach was that disabled individuals were incompetent of partaking in and contributing to society and that they must depend on welfare or charitable organizations, (Burtner, 2016). Towards the end of the 1800’s, institutions were built by the state and local organizational agencies to house people with developmental impairments. The institutions were commonly built on the borders of the city. Social attitudes adopted this segregating style of managing. Segregating from society stigmatizes people. (Burtner, 2016).

In today’s world, over a billion people – about one-fifth of the world’s population, experience disability. Every day, people with disabilities are suffered and challenged, not only because of their disabilities but because of people who discriminate against them. Throughout history, disability discrimination had long been deeply implanted in every aspect of life. As a result, disabled people frequently live on the margins of society and dispossess of numerous lives’ fundamental experiences. Obviously, the tremendous negative effects of discrimination against special needs on people as well as on wider society are shooting the wake-up call for both governments and individuals who should have a responsibility for seeking solutions to overcome these social problems.

Throughout history, the disabled community has fought for not only equal rights, but also equal opportunities and treatment. No one group has fought as hard for acceptance as those with disabilities, yet their efforts are often minimized by society. Although both Berger and Clare both aim to analyze the experiences of the disabled community through the lens of the social model, Berger takes a more scholarly approach, while Clare uses anecdotal evidence to display the unjust judgment and suffering of people with disabilities. To understand disability through a social lens is to fully grasp all aspects of disability. It is not just a physical ailment, but also a social issue of discrimination and oppression. In this paper, I will argue that

The disabled people are exactly like everyone else. About 50 million people that have a disability lead their own independent lives. They define themselves by their traits, not their disability and ever since the mid 1900s, they have been trying to get people to recognise that their disability only affects how they look at things, and is not a definition ("A Brief"). Most people look at other people with disabilities on a medical scale. The medical model attempts to normalize a person's conditions and also tends to see people as flawed and incapable (Milne). In reality, disabled people are just like the rest of society.

The medical model, the charity model, the social model, and the rights-based model have come hand in hand with some of the previous and current social policies. Individuals with disabilities have not been treated right through out the years. Many adults that have disabilities were not given the opportunity for many things, in turn they have very low income, housing, and education moreover, families that have children with disabilities are not provided with enough education and support from the government to help their children have a better life in the future.

Throughout history the treatment of people with a disability has been unfair. In the 1800’s, people with disabilities were cared for at home by loved ones. According to __http://paul-burtner.dental.ufl.edu/oral-health-care-for-persons-with-disabilities/societys-attitude-toward-people-with-disabilities/___ “Generally speaking, prior to the late 1800’s, people with mental retardation, cerebral palsy, autism, and/or epilepsy resided at home and were cared for by their families." This is not right because they treated them like they were not living people and they were going to die in a short amount of time. Beginning in the late

While disabled Americans are still considered a minority, the group has bad significant gains in becoming more accepted and welcomed into society. According to Anti-Defamation League (2005) Americans with disabilities have been treated harshly for centuries. Dating back to the 1800’s, it was not believed that those with disabilities could be an active patron of society. Instead, disabled people were used as a source of entertainment in “freak shows” and in the circus. Many were locked in asylums for their entire lives to keep them away from the rest of society. Moving on a few decades, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was able to shed some light on disabilities. Unfortunately, this did not change society as much as it should have. After both World War I and II, returning veterans began

And later in the modern era when science came. To know that the disability is actually caused by genetic disorders. Not a punishment from God I do not know what to do. So they change their perspective on the disabled. They are helped by the same humanity. They began to provide educational opportunities for the disabled. Labor training in England World War I and World War II caused more disabilities around the world. Mainly due to injuries from the war. Made from normal people become disabled. For this reason, they came out claiming the rights of the disabled. To see that they have the same rights as normal people. They need social and environmental help in areas such as employment, socialization, facilities and infrastructure that are conducive

In 2010, 19% of the U.S. population had a disability (“Nearly 1 in 5 People Have a Disability in the U.S., Census Bureau Reports”) and there is no doubt that today, in 2017, that number has increased. The first act that protected the civil rights of people with disabilities was not passed until 1973 (“What U.S. federal legislation protects the rights of students with disabilities?”). In 2015, there were 26,968 disability cases received by the EEOC (“EEOC Releases Fiscal Year 2015 Enforcement and Litigation Data”). Although there are many acts and laws in place protecting the rights of disabled people, there needs to be harsher punishments and violation fines in order

Question (A), do you consider yourself handicapped in any way? Is one of the questions that I think is questionably legal because it may be cover under reasonable accommodations where the employer has the right to determine if something is reasonable or not. As noted in our textbook, “the employer can implement to enable the qualified person to perform essential job functions without causing undue hardship to the employer” (Bell, 2012, p. 438). The application of this question in cover under the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which provision prohibits discrimination against employees with disabilities to make reasonable accommodations to allow them to work. This is how I would rewrite the question to be more acceptable and not create a conflict of discrimination: what are some of your disabilities that we may be able to accommodate in order to fulfill your duties?

The hatred towards disabled people was crucial and the German society believed they were not equal to others without disabilities. This occurs when the government is oblivious to the group of disabled Jews and do not take action. The causes of discrimination of the disabled
