I agree with Harold Krents, people with disabilities are not given the opportunity they deserve. People assume that since he can’t see he cannot hear. People would also assume his eyes don’t work, his ears don’t either. Some people knew that he can hear, but believed that he can’t talk. Once when he was in the hospital, he was being wheeled down to the X-ray room. A person was asking him questions and the person who was wheeling him down was repeating it to him and also repeated his responses too. He was turned down by over forty law firms because of his blindness, even though he studied at Harvard College. He wants one day for people not to know who is disabled and who is normal.
People still sometimes underestimate people with a disability. And, people assume that because they have one disability they also have another. A thing people do not realize is because they have a disability there other senses are enhanced. These enhanced senses can substitute their missing senses. I remembered watching a movie called blindness. This movie is about a world in which an illness causes the world to go blind. As people went blind people were rejected and sent to an abandoned school. This movie shows how “regular” people who went blind. would suffer. But, there is one guy was born blind. There is a huge difference between him and the rest of the ill people, like there is a scene in which a girl sneaks into a room with the blind people and him, he (the born-blind guy) noticed her. This proves that people with a disability have enhanced other senses.

I agree. People with disabilities are not given the opportunities they deserve.
ReplyDeleteVery true, my brother because he has diabeteis is always underestimated when it comes to sports. He isn't given the same opportunities as the other kids. even our own family finds from time to time that we tend to "Baby" him every once in awhile.
ReplyDeleteTrue, people with disabilities are always treated wrong and not given the chance they deserve.
ReplyDeleteYes Ed, I totally agree with you on that notion my friend. People do under estimate the disabled. This is extremely sad, and so very true. I’ve never had the opportunity to have seen this movie you brought up, “Blindness.” But I will have to keep an eye out for it, and give it a look-see. It sounds like a very interesting film. An Illness which causes the world to walk around in darkness, wow a visual I’m anxious to watch. I’ve heard though that when one looses or is born with a missing sense the other are heightened. I was once asked a question. If you had to choose what sense you were going to lose, which one would it be? I replied with, I can’t answer that. It scared me terribly.
ReplyDeletesounds like a good movie, id have to rent it, but to answer the question which sence would i have to loose and that be the sense to smell
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you are saying and thats true. I wish that we wouldnt make it harder for people that already have it hard.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if the concept for that story is loosely based on what would realistically happen or if it's just a fictitious account to stimulate our need for a good story, but psychologically that would make sense. And all of that has to do with acceptance. Once people accept the situation for what it is, they can then continue to grow in many ways. maybe extra sensory sensitivity could be one of them.
ReplyDeleteI believe that everyone has some sort of handicap whether it is visible or not. We need to treat everyone with the respect that we expect to be treated with.
