Eli Clare and Glee Post

This week we have discussed the main themes of disability and over coming hardships. We have discussed several examples in class that show how disabled people can over come challenges and how we has non disabled people should interact with disabled people. We definitely never mock or try to make fun of people who are disabled and less fortunate then us. This I have a personal connection to because my aunt is disabled and people look at her weird sometimes and say very mean things about her. This makes me extremely irritated and angry with people and how ignorant they can be and how they dont care. You couldnt even begin to imagine the challenges and hardships people with disability face. This relates to the Glee episode in which the club all were in wheelchairs to see how it is for Arty. I mean in a way you can see how hard it is, but you really could never fully understand how hard it is for someone who is disabled. Also you shouldnt fake injuries or a disability in order to make the person feel better or use it for your advantage. An example would be people Ive seen in Disney World who just get wheelchairs to cut the lines, but then in the parking lot just sit up and start walking normal. One of the employees has been on record saying more mircales happen in the Disney parking lot, then anywhere in the world. Moral of the story you should never fake, wish, or make someone disabled and be happy and grateful for what we have and also remember to take people less fortunate into consideration and care for them.
