Disability

Disability is a broad term that compares actual ability to normal functioning. It is most often used to refer to an impairment. A person may be considered disabled if he or she has a condition that affects the ability to function without assistance at a level needed to maintain well-being.

An impairment is a problem in body function or structure; an activity limitation is a difficulty encountered by an individual in executing a task or action; while a participation restriction is a problem experienced by an individual in involvement in life situations.

Notes:

Legislation

Many countries have laws concerning the rights of people with disabilities and policies which aim to support them.

Equality Act 2010, UK

The Equality Act 2010 aims to protect disabled people and prevent disability discrimination. It provides legal rights for disabled people in the areas of:

·         employment

·         education

·         access to goods, services and facilities including larger private clubs and land based transport services

·         buying and renting land or property

·         functions of public bodies, for example the issuing of licences

The Equality Act also provides rights for people not to be directly discriminated against or harassed because they have an association with a disabled person. This can apply to a carer or parent of a disabled person. In addition, people must not be directly discriminated against or harassed because they are wrongly perceived to be disabled.

Culture and Personality in Anthropology

Read the section about Culture and Personality in Anthropology. Answer these questions about that section:-

1.       Define “Anthropology” in your own words a science that study the human thoughts , emotions , values and behaviors  

2.       What do you understand by “socialization of children” Give an example

All children are born the same but when they rise in different culture they change

3.       Read this sentence again and give examples of childrearing in different societies and cultures: “socialization creates personality patterns. It helps shape people’s emotions, thoughts, behaviors, cultural values and norms to fit into and function as productive members in the surrounding human society. The study of culture and personality demonstrates that different socialization practices such as childrearing in different societies (cultures) result in different personality types.”

For example : in first world countries many people have weak physics because they ben rised to be in urban environment and culture , on the other hand there are many strong people in third world countries because they were rised to be strong  

4.       Read this sentence again and say to what extent you agree: “all humans are the same when born, but childrearing in different societies causes deviations in behavior and personalities from each other.”

I agree , because childrearing play a big role to build a culture or a socity

5.       Reflect on the reading above. Can you see a link between your culture and your personality? Think about that in relation to your own culture first, and then think about personality and culture in a different society. Reflect. Give examples.
