Cultural Differences Between The 1950's And Today

Differences, that’s what makes us unique. They define who we are. God made each one of us special. Then why have we been judged for our differences and have been treated different because of them? It doesn’t make sense. This is what our world has done for so many years. People with disabilities have been treated the most unfavorable of us all. This goes back almost all the way back in history. I am going to be focusing on the 1800s/ early 1900s, the 1950s to the 1960s, and what life is like them for today.
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, if you were a disabled kid, society would want you hidden. They would and not want to deal with you. Even when you were born or needed help, the nurses would not give you very good treatment and wouldn’t be to their best care because you were different. You were just an issue to them and the community in their opinion. This is why, they would send you away from your family and into an institution. Here in these institutions, you were not treated nice and you were given very little food to eat. A girl told her story about here experience there. She described it as not a loving place. She wasn’t able to have toys and they wouldn’t talk or play with them there.
We still are not the nicest to them. People around the world use them for entertainment. As people today, we do little things to belittle them that we could say is a joke, but to them it is not. We use them to get laughs or say mean things about them to make ourselves feel better. They were not given the choice to be make the way they were, but they are made perfect. It’s wrong to make fun and hurt others for things they cannot control. This is why today, we have a ton of people willing to help those who are mentally and physically disabled. This consists of houses/ places for them to life, hospitals willing to give time and effort to help, and simply just people willing to treat others the way they want to be
