Disablity

In this lesson I had to show my power point on views towards disability and physical ability, I teamed up with Jack and overall I think we made a successful development.
We were only aloud to use picture and have less than 40 words in this presentation which made the work more in depth of explaining what we are representing and harder to find resources to link to them, but also it shows our skills in looking into people with these case factors and how we relate them with society and todays life and also what they were treated like in historical contents.

Then after our presentation we went into a more in depth study by looking at a clip from one of Ricky Gervais's stand up comedy's about disabled people.

Looking at this clip we then annotated the main factors and points about he views towards a person with disability in a wheelchair, we found these:

• Soon as he enter " Who's this poor little fella" straight stereotype towards his actions.



• When he wants him to wear the he refuses to and then he grabs his shirt and acts intimidating and uses types of physical violence to get what he wants, thinks disabled people are weak because they have a major problem.



• "Leg mental not head"


• Assumes he's stupid "Would u like me to read you a story?" he replies "I'm 31 mate" then he says for insult to injury "You should be walking then." So he's mean and doesn't really care.


• Messing about on his wheelchair teasing his disability and torturing him as he's sat on the ground defenceless and annoyed.


• Treated like an object "Oo wear this hat" and "oo let me have a go in the wheelchair" he uses his dominance to intimidate his disability.


• He categorizes him straight away basically saying "Which sort are you, and how I can relate to you in your disability". E.g. "so your handicap?"


• " 3 hot potatoes in our society all in this chap" basically saying there a bad issue in today society and get in the way of us and some of our problems.


• Assumes that people in wheelchairs are miserable "bet it must be crap in them"


• Discriminates his sexual life that disabled people can really have sexual contact with females and then he mocks him by saying "so your gay?" which is another form of stereotype in a negative look upon it.

So from these bullet points and notes i taken down about this advert i now have a image and opinion on people don't really care about disabled people, not just Ricky as he's a stand up and people laugh at what he has said to this man in the wheelchair. But then it could just be for comedy but what he says to the man is powerful and harsh and just shows he has no respect for them. Or maybe he's famous and loaded so why not take the mick out of a disabled person cause at the end of the day he gets the money for doing it, its a viscous circle but will continue as it entertains and assumes people.
