The public will undermine the disabled society until it has educated on the need not to
The relationship between the disabled and the society has long been a strained one since time immemorial where people highly practised the discrimination of the disabled. Although discrimination of the disabled has decreased in recent years, people are still yet to fully unveil what disability is and understand its concepts to embrace the disabled in the society wholly. The disabled community also wants a place in a society where ordinary people can recognise them and their rights upheld. Achieving this in a society that hardly recognises the disable will take a lot of patience.
Different nations vary in how they treat their disabled in society (Eve, 2020) and achieving a harmonised way of handling the disabled in society may prove difficult. Before the world war II, the disabled were forced to give up their rights and were expelled from the community, termed as outcasts (Eve,2020) since they could not fend for themselves and were considered a liability to the society. After the war, when the feminists began their activations, the disabled too began fighting for their rights and freedom. They were relentless in seeing that they also had access to the rights equal of ordinary people in society. It was until 1990 that the government formed an act to protect them in America (Eve,2020)
people in the organisation should normalise disability, according to (Patrick,2016) and the deaf community which wants to consider in the society. The society, however, is rigid and does not like to recognise the disabled culture. Despite the discovery of sign language that helps the ordinary people communicate with the disabled (Kusters, Green et al. 2020), not many people have taken an interest in learning it. The society has left the learning of this language to people who want to venture into it professionally.
Research is not extensive on the disabled society since there are not enough articles, books and journals in the topic of research (Ginsburg and Rayna 2013). Means that the society does not give a lot of thoughts to the disabled, they are considered problematic to the society; therefore, not a lot of scholars invest their time and resources on this research. A problem that has solved the getting along of the two communities
A legal framework helps uphold the rights and freedoms of the disabled in the society needs to implementation since the majority of these laws are mostly written and never practised. Most of the disabled people also do not know that they have laws that protect their rights and freedoms hence do nothing when harassed by society. Both societies have to get an education on this rights and freedoms of the disabled.
The disabled society educates their children (Ohma 2013) with the aim of them being bilingual and bicultural in society. Education helps them recognise their political, cultural, and social rights, enabling them to activate either of them. The only hindrance is the people society. Education of the community at large on the importance of supporting the disabled culture would change many people’s perspectives, and they may want to embrace the disabled in society.
Instead of being rigid and continue ignoring and suppressing the disabled in the society who are also human beings as the ordinary people are, they could choose to embrace them and cultivate an act of supporting them. Either in political aspirations, social interactions, or blending in the culture of the society, normalising their rights (Patrick,2016). The government could also choose to indulge in extensive research in the disabled community by employing professionals to look at their history since a lot of work needs to be done on disability history (Linker 2013) and also the current disabilities.
The society could also choose to embrace and learn their language, and invent technologies that might help them improve or correct their disabilities. The community needs to know that despite the physical or mental challenges by this society, they are also virtual players in the economy and if treated well they can improve their output significantly, voicing the disabled (Thomson 2005).
The nature of the disabled society is vulnerable and in need of support and intensive care. Normal human beings, need to be believed and encouraged, and they too need this, and that’s why without, they may not participate in anything in the society. They are also important people in the history’s actions (Baynton 2005) therefore need to be preserved and taken care.
Being an extensive reader in the disability of study, it is vital in helping society change its way of reacting and also seeing the disabled in the community. It promotes equality even to the minority of the organisation and allows them to participate in the society, with no fear of being cast out. Political activation of this society is essential because they need people with disabilities to represent them and see to it that they too, are valued and understood.
People can also choose to be rigid about supporting the disabled society and discriminating them despite the legal framework put in place to protect them. They can choose to ignore this minority group of people and continue terming them as a liability to the society (Baynton 2005). The ordinary people in the community can continue hiding and under researching the disabilities and its history. Like in the nineteen century, people can term the disables as outcasts of society. They can continue living in the oblivion by the fact that 19.3 Americans experience permanent disability condition according to the 2000 censors report (Linker 2013).
In conclusion, according to the above article, disability study is vital and needs extensive research, and embrace in the society for the disabled to perform in political, cultural and social scenes. The community has to get an education on coexisting with the disabled society in peace. The organisation can also choose to ignore the disable society, a minority, and continue losing people to disability.
