BOOM goes the dynamite!
In order to import some understanding of disability, students and faculty need to learn from or about an individual with a disability(s). Many disability studies argue that the individuals have been disregarded like many other minorities in this country and the community’s radical reactions to cultural prejudice and discrimination met the social patterns established by the woman’s rights movement, civil rights movement for African Americans, and the mainstreaming of gay and lesbian issues.
Disability is often not talked about let alone in class so how can this population gain legitimate rights. I propose this final question to why has individuals with physical disabilities been demoted by most of society. It may be that the able-bodied individuals have learned these negative stereotypes towards such individuals from a young age. From this research it is hoped that individuals with physical disabilities are not scared to admit to able-bodied individuals that the physical disabled person battles every day and should not continue to go repressed.
