- W4289754313 abstract "It sometimes seems to get forgotten that impairment and disability are worldwide issues, even though they might be dealt with differently in different parts of the globe. To this end, the International Paralympic Committee has laid down a series of four core principles which demonstrate its values: Courage, Determination, Inspiration and Equality. As Cameron (2013) and very many others have pointed out, the whole issue of the Paralympics and their ethos and image is extremely problematic from a Disability Studies point of view. It is possible that, in terms of the Paralympics’ core principles, the focus on the athletes themselves, rather than on problems they experience from the societies in which they live, is intended in part to be unthreatening and to be applicable to as much of the world as possible – while not ‘rocking the boat’. The focus on the Paralympians as ‘inspirational individuals’ also makes it appear that they – and by extension, disabled people in general – exist outside of any kind of social context, and are effectively not part of society as a whole. An inclusive view of the life course would inevitably have to reject this line of thought and instead realise that a well-functioning society is one in which people differ, and their differences are accepted and responded to in the most appropriate way. One way in which this approach differs from current reality concerns the issue of the abortion of foetuses found to have impairments. The UK actress Sally Phillips has recently challenged the idea that eradicating Down’s syndrome constitutes progress." @default.
