symbolic representation of disabilities, what do you think?
since ancient times, symbols were used to portray different things. but the use of such symbols to indicate disability is a quite modern concept. today, we use whealchaires to indicate some kind of inability to walk/moov indipendendly, whitecanes to signify blindness, etc. I live in a country where organisations provide plackets to low vision people as an indication of their "status".
this lead me to think about the use/ importants/ nead of such symbols.
on one hand, they help others to know that we're disabled and thus help them to behave acordingly.
on the other, these "symbols" sometimes act as the magnets of trouble, drawing unwanted attention, and possibly bullying from the croud.
and for exactly the same reasons, there has never been an answer to the questians like "should there be a symbol to indicate disabled?" and "should it be legalised?"
so what do you guys think?
