I think that there can be a connection between the articles "Staring Back" and "The Social Construction of Disability." The Staring Back article emphasizes that disability is not something to be looked down upon, but just a different form of beauty. People may look at people with disabilities, say "what happened?," and feel bad for that person. Disabled people look different, but that doesn't make them any less of a person. This is similar to what the Social Construction article emphasizes, which is that disabled people aren't any worse on than others, they just do things differently. The world is structured on the physical abilities of man, and that is why people think disability is a problem, when really it a just a different form of living. Just like the body was a different form of art.
