Disability/Ability

We carried on our discussion on disabilities and abilities and went on to watch Peter Kays Pheonix nights to see a contradiction of the average stereotypical view of disabled people in the media.
Below is a list of assumptions as a society are made about disabled people;
-We are ashamed of them
-They are possibly ashamed of themselves due to their 'difference'
-Assumed to be less intelligent regardless of the disability.
-Stereotyped as being wheel chair bound due to the sign/icon.
-Unnattractive, not sexually active/desirable.
-Can be used for comical relief in terms of their behaviour (bossy).
-Moody, play the victim/made to look weak and someone to be pitied.
-If already disabled, we like to see them recover/get better and find love.
-Given a makeover to look 'normal'
-Used as a way to 'remove' character status if you see them disabled.
-Society can 'disable' them. Eg-Not having a ramp into a building.
-Most actors playing disabled people aren't actually disabled.
