Is the way we Treat Disabled People Today Right?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>Territory: Disability. Object: The treatment of disabled people. Concepts: Equality, Dependence. Change: Treatment of disabled people over time. Thinkers: Singer, MacIntyre. Questions I am going to consider: \u2022 The idea of \u2018normality\u2019, and whether a disabled person can constitute a \u2018normal person\u2019. \u2022 The idea of inclusion and whether disabled people can be considered to be included as normal members of our society. \u2022 Both of these things, normality and inclusion, relate to the concept of equality. Are disabled people equals to people without disabilities? \u2022 Is the language used in reference to disabled people appropriate or could it be improved upon? \u2022 How much does independence matter to a disabled person? Should they have greater independence despite their limitations?
