"The Social Construction of Disability" addresses the physical "imperfection" in relation to disability. As mentioned in the article, some people would consider facial scarring as a disability simply because that person does not fit what society would describe as a "normal" appearance. I think that this idea in also evident in the increase of cosmetic surgeries recently. Also, there are many different types of prosthetic limbs and some of them can be covered with a foam encasing sculpted in the form of a "normal" limb. Is this cover beneficial to the person or to an outsider? Is it simply to stop some of the stares or questions? I really liked the article about Mary Duffy because she showcased her physical differences in the form of iconic female beauty, Venus.
