Conversations on DisabilityIntroductionIn this essay I would like to discuss the definition of disability with a focus on medical, economic and socio-political models, evolution and history disability care, disability rights movements, marginalization, oppression, barriers, and strategies to dismantle barriers. I will illustrate them with the clear understanding of the concepts illustrated by Simi Linton, Colin Barnes and Lennard Davis. If you look at the evolution of disability, people with disabilities have been completely excluded from their communities. they exceeded the boundaries of what was acceptable, decent and normal in their communities. Then the charities started to take care of the disabled people and later the government started to take care of the disabled people by building institutions and finally these institutions were demolished. a point where the government believed that sheltered workshops were an alternative to include people with disabilities. In 2013, the revolutionary NDIS model was introduced to the private market to provide consumer choice and control for people with disabilities. First, let's look at the history of disability. .We live in a world of standards. .Everyone tries to be normal. The emphasis is placed on the construction of disability as well as on the construction of normality. The problem is how normality is constructed to create the disabled person problem. There is an inherent desire to compare yourself to others. The norm is less a condition of human nature than it is a characteristic of a certain type of society. The social problem of disability emerged with industrialization in the 19th century. Disability was linked to nationality, race, gender, crime, sexual orientation and color. middle of paper......hold our past, change our future: London: RoutledgeDreidger D (1989) The Civil Rights Movement London: HurstBarnes C (1991) Disabled people in Britain and discrimination: London Hurst and CoTulloch.S. ed 1993 The Readers Digest Oxford Word Finder, OxfordHunt, Paul 1998.
