Disability

After the discussion in class about Disability i began to think of all the different types of disabilities a person could have. I began to think of questions like, "Who is considered to be disabled?" "How are the disabled treated and/or perceived by society?" "How disability plays a role in some musicians?"

I think that disability means that a person has a physical or mental handicap that prevents them from living a "normal" life. Meaning that they might have a disadvantage when it comes to certain things. I believe people in society who are disabled should be treated as any other human being. In my previous experiences i have seen people look at people who might be handicapped differently and in my opinion i think it's just foolish. A person does not choose to be handicap. Learning about famous musicians like Stevie Wonder, Beethoven, Ray Charles etc. It amazes me that they were able to produce and play music. Whether they were blind or deaf. It is astonishing that their are many more people who do amazing things while being disabled. If anything people with a disability should be seen as an inspiration and acknowledged for the adversity they have to overcome.
