    Model Of Disability

    During the last decade in many countries can be witnessed an intensive change of attitudes towards disability (Kuodyte et al., 2012). In the past, the medical model of disability was generally accepted. However, it has been successfully challenged by new disability studies that explore disability in social and cultural terms as a social construct (Titchkosky, 2000). The social model emerged as public reaction and criticism of the medical model. Specifically in the UK people with disabilities felt that medical model was too much focused on functional limitations, while there was a need for new approach that took barriers in the society into account (Hughes, 2002, Gronvik, 2007). Therefore, previously prevailing medical approach to disability…

    The environment and attitudes surrounding the disabled creates a stigma that often leads to discrimination. “There are still attitudes within most societies that view symptoms of psychopathology as threatening and uncomfortable” (Ferentz). When an individual disrupts their environment with a certain behavior society immediately uses that to judge and define the individual in a negative way. “Disability is not the impairment itself, but rather attitudes and environmental barriers that result in disability”(unicef). Not only with judgment and ridicule come from this, but violence as well.…

    The media plays a very important part in our lives, and many images that the society have made of certain types of people and even stereotypes are often based on the media interpretation. Disabled people are poorly represented. As a result, society is fed certain stereotypes on those with disabilities; these stereotypes in turn have led to debate on whether it matches the reality. Chapter 13 (Representations of People with Disabilities) assessed how the representations of disabled people has changed over the years, and the reasons behind it, which could relate to the negative or positive image society has given disabled people and even how the media has portrayed them in film, Tv, news and advertisement. The media seem to distinguish people…
