Do you feel fear, dread, or a sense that it has nothing to do with you, or perhaps even a sense of relief? Do you feel sorry for someone with a disability? Do you feel like they deserve protection and consideration? For a long time, disability has been treated as a serious flaw or misfortune.\u003cbr\u003e Throughout history, disabilities have been seen as monsters, and the media has exploited them as a means of making money.\u003cbr\u003e But this is a clear misunderstanding and a wrong prejudice.\u003cbr\u003e Disability is not a special someone's story.\u003cbr\u003e More than a billion people worldwide have a disability, and anyone can experience a temporary or permanent disability.\u003cbr\u003e That is why this book is not a book for the disabled, but a book for everyone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAuthor Emily Radau, a human rights activist with a congenital disability, draws on her own life and work to create a three-dimensional and realistic account of disability.\u003cbr\u003e Why the term \"differently abled\" is problematic, why referring to a wheelchair as \"that person\" is offensive, and how the media's practice of consuming disability as a sensational story undermines the dignity of those affected—all these questions are answered with real-life examples and experiences.\u003cbr\u003e For him, disability is just one aspect of life.\u003cbr\u003e There is a great deal of diversity in the world, and because of that diversity, each person has a different identity.\u003cbr\u003e Disability is also one of those diversities.\u003cbr\u003e The author points out the prejudices and ignorance surrounding disability, one by one, and forces us to face the truth. \u003cbr\u003eThis book is a guide that will help readers examine their own perspectives on disability by raising sharp questions about the social structure centered around the non-disabled, unconscious discriminatory language, and inaccessible spaces and systems.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e You can preview some of the book's contents.\u003cbr\u003e

overcoming tragedy), an inferiority, a shameful or worthless thing. \u003cbr\u003eIt is simply 'an aspect of human existence', 'a natural part of life experience', 'a constantly evolving experience', 'a unique way of life'.\u003cbr\u003e I was quite surprised by these words, which struck me with even greater weight because they came after a lifetime of living with a disability.\u003cbr\u003e As a mother of a disabled child, with eyes and ears wide open, it was a powerful language that dispelled the internalized feelings of discouragement, fear, and helplessness that I had unknowingly developed.\u003cbr\u003e --- From the Translator's Note\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Don't assume that just because you know one person with a disability, you know all people with disabilities.\u003cbr\u003e He is just a disabled person.\u003cbr\u003e A person with a disability may be considered an expert on that disability, but their experiences with disability are unique to them.\u003cbr\u003e This book is also just one of many books about disability.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.16~17\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAnyone can experience a disability in life.\u003cbr\u003e Sometimes they experience temporary disabilities, such as fractures, and other times they experience disabilities such as hearing loss, hearing paralysis, and brain damage.\u003cbr\u003e For non-disabled people, the thought of becoming disabled is actually terrifying.\u003cbr\u003e I can understand.\u003cbr\u003e It's natural to be afraid of the unknown, but the thought that my body could change in ways beyond my control can be truly overwhelming.\u003cbr\u003e Unfortunately, these fears often turn into prejudice against people with disabilities.\u003cbr\u003e Because it's difficult to accept that someone else's reality can become your own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.56~57\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Some of the terms called '-ism' are so widely used that everyone is familiar with them as terms that indicate discrimination against a specific group.\u003cbr\u003e Words like sexism, ageism, homophobia, transphobia, and xenophobia. \u003cbr\u003eUnfortunately, we live in a world where these terms continue to be repeated.\u003cbr\u003e But what is often left out of these conversations about discrimination is discrimination against people with disabilities, ableism.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Accessibility is about ensuring that people with disabilities have the same opportunities and support as people without disabilities so that they can live well.\u003cbr\u003e It's about removing barriers to participation and understanding, enabling everyone, regardless of ability, to experience the world around them in a way that suits both body and mind.\u003cbr\u003e Accessibility does not mean special treatment or benefits.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.112\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Respecting personal space is a fundamental rule of interaction, but it seems to be too often ignored when dealing with people with disabilities. \u003cbr\u003eIn my case, strangers would come up to me and casually put their arms on my wheelchair as if it were their own armrest.\u003cbr\u003e It may seem like a small thing, but the wheelchair is an extension of my body and a means of transportation for me.\u003cbr\u003e If someone touches my wheelchair or puts weight on it, I feel trapped even though I'm not sitting in it.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We are socialized to understand 'the absence of disability' as the default human condition.\u003cbr\u003e This means that if something does not appear to be physically disabled, it is usually assumed that it is not disabled.\u003cbr\u003e I was the same way, but now I'm trying really hard to change.\u003cbr\u003e Let's throw away all stereotypes and preconceptions about disabilities.\u003cbr\u003e About both things that appear to be disabled and things that are not thought to be disabled.\u003cbr\u003e Don't guess at random.\u003cbr\u003e Instead, please include courtesy and accessibility for people with disabilities in all your interactions.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.150\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eProgram producers know very well what the majority of viewers want.\u003cbr\u003e In other words, 'the weirder, the better.'\u003cbr\u003e These types of programs are sometimes educational, but usually rely on society's morbid curiosity about \"other bodies\" and \"other minds.\"\u003cbr\u003e Unfortunately, programs like these not only reinforce prejudice, but also serve as a conduit for curiosity to quickly devolve into cruelty.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- p.186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Many schools, businesses, and organizations host disability awareness and empathy training events where non-disabled participants can experience disability.\u003cbr\u003e Ask the person to wear earplugs to understand hearing loss or a blindfold to understand vision loss, and ask them to push a wheelchair or use crutches to walk.\u003cbr\u003e People often say that people learn through experience, but I can say this clearly. \u003cbr\u003eThis approach is by no means helpful in understanding the experiences of people with disabilities.\u003cbr\u003e It is impossible to understand the experiences and identity that span a person's entire life through a simple simulated experience.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---

because he thought his lover's life would be ruined because of him.\u003cbr\u003e I remember the sermon that said that without the noble sacrifice of teacher Sullivan, Helen Keller's 'miracle' would not have happened.\u003cbr\u003e All the thoughts I've had about disabled parking spaces, seats, and elevators came to mind.\u003cbr\u003e If I hadn't read this book, would I have been able to come up with these thoughts?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book reminds us that prejudice against disabilities is broader and deeper than we think.\u003cbr\u003e There are many books that talk about disability and people with disabilities. \u003cbr\u003eThey say that living with people with disabilities requires consideration and protection for them.\u003cbr\u003e The author also considers such thinking to be a wrong prejudice.\u003cbr\u003e Just as women's individuality has not been respected in a long-standing patriarchal, male-centered society, a society centered on non-disabled people does not treat disabled people equally.\u003cbr\u003e Living as a disabled person in a world dominated by ableism is not something that can be simply thought of as 'inconvenient'.\u003cbr\u003e As a human being, you have the right to be respected and live freely.\u003cbr\u003e Everyone has the freedom to receive the education they want and choose their career.\u003cbr\u003e Disabled people had to fight for their lives to obtain this basic right. \u003cbr\u003eVisiting restaurants and theaters, using public transportation, going to the polls on election day, and commuting to and from school were all tasks that required new laws and systems for people with disabilities.\u003cbr\u003e What the author criticizes is this reality and the perception of disability and people with disabilities.\u003cbr\u003e To those who believe that people with disabilities are somehow 'wrong' and fall short of 'normal', the author calls such thinking 'false ableism'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 1 introduces various perceptions surrounding the concept of disability.\u003cbr\u003e We are all equal human beings, living in the world in our own unique ways. Just as the various toppings on the dough create the identity of a pizza, disability is also just one of the toppings that make up human identity. \u003cbr\u003eFor a very long time, people with disabilities have not been recognized as full-fledged citizens and have been treated as an outcast.\u003cbr\u003e Disability has been treated as a flaw or a stain on life.\u003cbr\u003e There are quite a few expressions and ways of thinking that we use without thinking today that still have traces of that.\u003cbr\u003e In Chapter 2, the author explains why this is a problem and what other expressions can replace it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 3 tells the story of human rights activists who have worked to improve laws and systems to combat discrimination and wrong practices against people with disabilities.\u003cbr\u003e It will deeply move and inspire people with disabilities, and it will make people without disabilities realize how precious the freedoms and rights they now enjoy are.\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 4 talks about the ableism that surrounds us.\u003cbr\u003e Numerous examples of public facilities, transportation systems, work environments, and social services that fail to take accessibility for people with disabilities into account are introduced through the perspective of the author, who has personally experienced these situations. \u003cbr\u003eThere are countless stories floating around in the media that are designed to make fun of disabilities or to elicit sympathy.\u003cbr\u003e People accustomed to ableism fail to recognize this fact, and even disabled people are made to feel that their lives are worthless.\u003cbr\u003e By introducing and pointing out these 'subtle yet blatant' non-disabledisms one by one, the author hopes to make people clearly recognize why they are problematic.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chapter 5 deals with etiquette when dealing with people with disabilities.\u003cbr\u003e Perhaps this is the most pressing issue we face in our daily lives.\u003cbr\u003e There are many cases where people ask rude questions and give advice under the guise of consideration, and excessively invade and interfere in personal space.\u003cbr\u003e The author's argument is concise.\u003cbr\u003e Treat your non-disabled colleagues, friends, and family with the same common sense you would use to treat them.\u003cbr\u003e All I have to do is respect that person's words and thoughts as if they were my equal. \u003cbr\u003eChapter 6 is about disability as reflected in the media.\u003cbr\u003e Media is not only inseparable from human life, but also has a powerful influence.\u003cbr\u003e If you have a negative perception of disability, it is likely due to distorted images portrayed in the media.\u003cbr\u003e Many examples of how disabilities are addressed in advertisements, newspapers and magazines, television programs, and published books encourage readers to reflect on themselves.\u003cbr\u003e Another negative influence of the media is that treating people with disabilities kindly is exaggerated into a great good deed or noble act, rather than the 'normal behavior'.\u003cbr\u003e Because kindness is not an act of charity for the poor disabled, but a basic social skill for dealing with others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The world we live in is filled with people of diverse genders, races, ages, and socioeconomic statuses.\u003cbr\u003e All of them have the right to be respected as equal persons. \u003cbr\u003eThe personality and rights of minorities should not be ignored simply because people of a certain gender, race, age, or status make up the majority.\u003cbr\u003e This is the author's argument.\u003cbr\u003e It is not a request for special sympathy or consideration for the disabled.\u003cbr\u003e It's just that we need to equip ourselves with what we need to be happy in a world where we all live together, and that we need to acknowledge that people with disabilities are also human beings equal to us. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e -
