Laurie Block, one of the staff members of the Disability History Museum, discusses the stereotypes and constructions of stereotypes that people with disabilities have and currently face in the Company. In her essay titled “Stereotypes About Disabled People,” she mentions a particular stereotype involving dehumanization: “Disabled people are different from fully human people; they are partial or limited people, in an “other” and lesser category” (Block). A popular belief among some citizens in society is that people with disabilities are different and that no matter how disabled or disabled a person is, they are less than a person. This stereotype has caused a stigma against people with disabilities, leading some people to take advantage and abuse it. Elizabeth Barnes, author of “Valuing Disability, Causing Disability” discusses the popular views of disability rights activists and those who oppose/criticize them. She begins her article by writing about an argument from disability rights activists: “Disability rights activists often claim that being disabled is not something bad for you. Rather, disability is a natural part of human diversity, something that should be valued and celebrated, rather than pitied and ultimately “cured” (Barnes 88). As Elizabeth Barnes mentioned, disability rights activists repeatedly have to fight this idea.
