Representation - Disability and Ability

Ability and Disability in the media is shown in extremes.
stereotypical views of disability are that we assume it is a mental problem.

Historically disabled people don't play theme selves in media performances. The media influences the way we look at others.

Us and the media show disabled people as alot of stereotypical views some of theses are:

• They are disabled and incapable
• We are ashamed of them
• Possibly ashamed of themselves due to their differences
• Assumed to be less intelligent regardless to disability
• Unattractive, not sexually attractive, not desirable
