Disability

The article "Social Construction of Disability" presented a viable argument that society dictates disability. I agree that social and culture are the two main factors to construct disability mentioned by Susan Wendell. In the article, there are many social factors to affect the disabled, such as the lack of resources and the pace of life. The article also mentions that public world determines their own standard to indicate a person whether is disability or not. It is senseless that determine person is disable just because they cannot reach the standard like cannot walk as fast as the standard. Culture is the second major factor to construct disability. There is an example about a woman, Francine Arsenault who has damaged leg, and indicates that culture always abbreviates and stereotype the people with disability. There is a contradictory argument that providing some welfare to the disabled. I agree that it is unfair to non-disabled have this handicap. Simultaneously, I want to ask a question that if the special treatment is considered as a stigma and stereotyping to the disabled. In fact, I totally disagree that disability is a group of hopeless people without ability. There were many examples of the successful disabled people in the history ,such as Beethoven, Recently, I found out an amazing armless piano player in China. Therefore, I believe that disabled people should not be stereotyped and ignored in our world.
