Stella Young Disability

When people think of “disabled” the words incapable, broken down, powerless come to mind, But they are not they are so unbelievably strong, because they have learned to go through life in a completely new way which is just what makes them beautiful.

All of us are quick to judge no matter if the judgement is good or bad. It was the first time we spent Christmas with our family in Dallas. All the faces around us were somewhat familiar. Like every family gathering us kids were to play outside with the other kids, but this time it was different.

Disability is a definition of a physical or mental condition which impacts on a person’s movements, activities and senses. People with disabilities were informed of bias and disadvantages compared to an ordinary person. There are many biases and prejudices contributed to the discrimination of individuals with a disability. Partly because of social connotations the disabled people are useless, cannot work. In fact, these extraordinary people always bring and do incredible things. They not only overcome their grim fate, but also bring good things to life, especially those who are perfectly considering better than an ordinary person, they are not aware of the capacity of individuals disabilities with them characteristics such as loyalty, dedication, and hard work.

Stella Young’s TedTalk “I’m not your inspiration, thank you very much” discusses the various ways in which those living with a disability are often viewed differently for doing the same mundane things those living without a disability do. In her speech, Young claims that people are lied to about disability. She tells a story about how she was teaching and a student raised his hand asking when she was going to begin her inspirational speech since the only interaction with a person with a disability prior to her class revolved around a person giving an inspirational speech. Young then goes on to state that the world is deceived by “Inspiration Porn” and which leads to the idea that those living with a disability are “objects of inspiration”. She jokes that no matter how long she sat at the bottom of the stairs having positive thoughts that would not get her to the top of the stairs. Young concludes her speech by saying she wants to live in a world where disability is considered the norm and not the exception.

Disability is a topic viewed differently by each set of eyes. To truly understand a disability, one must live through it or frequently view the lives of another, struggling with an infirmity. Living with a disability may be hard, but it does not mean it is not worth living. Nancy Mairs, author of the essay “On Being a Cripple,” has written about her views and experiences, explaining to the public the truth behind being a “cripple,” and proving that disease does not control you. Explained in the paper, able-bodied people make assumptions to how low quality life must be, living with a disease and that these individuals are constantly unhappy however

Stella Young has lived with a disability all of her life, but has never let that stand in her way. While speaking at a TED conference in 2014 Young wanted to address an issue that most individuals overlook. This issue is about people with disabilities and the struggle they face every day to feel equal and part of a social norm. Stella speaks from experience and tries to make her audience see a new perspective of how individuals look at others with disabilities. Stella makes it clear that most individuals see people with disabilities as an inspiration which is widely propagated. In order for her audience to understand this view she shows a series of images to appeal both to logos and pathos. Stella wanted to show that we view these images logically

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

Peter Singer, claims that “people with very severe disabilities are likely to live lives that are not as good” this blanket statement has raised a lot of questions, whereby, Singer defends his argument by claiming that people with disabilities do not have the same prospects as those born without disabilities. Singer’s claim is based on his assumption that disabled people are not able to achieve a decent level of wellbeing. He argues that people innately believe that disabled individuals are not capable of achieving a normal level of wellbeing due to, his idea, that mothers would not knowingly harm (disable) their children.

Have you ever experienced life in someone else's shoes? Meet Sarah. To say Sarah has a disability would be an understatement. Sitting in her house, Sarah lives with disabilities along with her parents who take care of her twenty-four hours a day.

This is a hard question for me to answer because of the nature of Darlene’s developmental and intellectual disabilities. She knows she has disabilities, that she is different than others, and that she is not living with her family, but it does not register was her like what could happen with other 6 year olds. It could be that she rationalizes her situation in ways she understands. For instance, Kristen and Jack her family because she lives with them and they take care of her, although they are not family in the biological sense. I question the ability for her to fully comprehend her situation because there were instances where would think she did something she did not such as she think she can write, when actually all it is lines and dots.

Frida Kahlo was a woman that cross boundaries perhaps her disability. I believe that self-determination was fostered for Frida, since she regains the ability to paint and walk. Of course, it took effort and determination for Frida, but she eventually toke control of their freedom.

Charles was a French Resistance member alongside his girlfriend, the now infamous, Stella Dubious. We can verify they went undercover disguised as house servants to spy on Nazi Lieutenant Klaus Müller. They had been working there for a few months when Charles said he noticed Stella acting different. He claimed to have found out later that Stella was having an affair with Lieutenant Müller and feeding him classified Resistance information and codes. Specifically, Charles said Stella had told Lieutenant Müller about the secret code broadcasted on June 1, 1944. Because of these accusations, Stella was publicly shamed for being a "Nazi Collaborator": women who slept with Nazi soldiers. Then, Stella fled to the countryside to live the red of her

We can hear through his words the remark about employers views toward disable people. “What is the problem that he can’t work for you or you can’t work with him?” Richard and Mike start working together, we can appreciate Mike’s hot head personality and the audience can start wondering about the post-trauma syndrome. The spectator can reflect how disability is a huge obstacle to get a job; just by mentioning their medical condition/label that disable people have been imposed. (Dwarf women and the stool job scene). We laugh about this scene realizing how people were so couldn’t think passing through just the physical about the skills, that disable people could bring to the companies on those

Last year, around this time I volunteered to help out at a local nursing home. The other volunteers and I were given the task of transporting patients around the building. Initially, I worked individually with the patients and faced much difficulty. Sometimes the patient's’ foot pedal would be misplaced, other times it would be difficult to find their room. After several incidents, the other students and I realized that we were all facing the same setbacks ad we decided that we could avoid these situations and work faster if we teamed up. This way, one person could maneuver the wheelchair while the other could adjust the wheelchair parts, press the elevator buttons and speak to the patient. Soon, we became familiar with the patient names and
