Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
decades there has been a growing disability rights movement, which has challenged the oppression of the disabled (Gottlieb, 2000). Rather than simply accepting the biomedical model of disability, advocates argue
that disabled Americans should be viewed as simply one more group within a diverse society that can be integrated into the whole and recognized as valuable and contributing citizens (Openden,
2004). The following examination of oppression and the disabled, first of all, looks at the various ways in which this minority group continues to suffer from discrimination. But then also
looks at possible interventions that can facilitate aiding the disabled in their fight for full recognition and inclusion into the societal mainstream. Philosophical and historical background Openden (2004) makes
the point that the disabled constitute a minority that any of us may join at any time, due to accident or illness, and that most of us will join simply
by reaching old age. According to the US Census Bureau, one-fifth of all Americans are affected by a disability (Disability, 2004). This makes the disabled the largest minority in the
US, with numbers ranging from between 35 and 49 million (Openden, 2004). Disability has been historically perceived as a characteristic, that is, a physical, mental or spiritual fault, of a
specific individual. According to Joseph Shapiro (author of No Pity: People with Disabilities Forging a New Civil Rights Movement) people with disabilities make up the largest minority in the US
(Openden, 2004). Examination of the plight of the disabled reveals that this group does constitute an oppressed minority who are entitled to the same rights and privileges that are
routinely afforded to all other citizens of the US (Openden, 2004). The disabled do not seek pity, but rather they desire societys awareness and recognition of them as equal members.
