Title: The Regulation of Ableist Speech versus Actual Resolutions
Post by: Bearu on December 22, 2016, 01:43:11 AM

The rise of speech against the people with a disability does not remain a new concept, but how can the group assist the people with disabilities protect themselves against the natural tendencies of the other people to discriminate against the particular group?
The democrats tend to believe the elimination of the ableist speech remains the penultimate goal, but the question remains whether the people will take action to alleviate the actual problems with the system for the people with a disability. The standard question should revolve around the promotion of the concept with the promotion and funding of assistance and aid programs for the population with a disability.

Well, right now people are making money on people whom are not fully and completely, to the letter of the law, complaint with the Americans with Disabilities Act.  Not because they are wanting to help the people whom need it, but are using them to make a buck off the people whom didn't know better...

Define "ableist speech."  If a defense contractor says, "Senator, if you take away this project's funding, you'll be *crippling* our nation's missile defense capabilities," is he being ableist?

The definition of "ableist speech" from my workplace involves the profiling of a person on the alleged physical or mental characteristics of the person. The gist of the ableist language involves the assumption a person with a disability remains less physically or mentally competent based on the presence of a disability. An example appears with the false assumption a person with a medical condition in a wheelchair remains less intelligent than a person without a wheelchair before the person interacts with the person.

The concept of ableist speech includes the tendency of some people to judge and to denigrate the value of a person who possesses a disability of some type as less capable based on the presence of a disability, either physical or mental, without the evaluation of the person' skills. How, for example, can a person determine whether the person remains in a wheelchair for a broken leg or muscular dystrophy. The former may involve the wasting of the muscles in the legs much as muscular dystrophy, yet some people may present the false assumption of the person as a degenerate because the person resides in a wheelchair without the appropriate assessment. The usage of the term blind person, as another example, by a second person to describe the behavior of a person as an indicator for the absence of competence from the individual represents another false assumption from the ableist group. The term indicates the inability of the people to describe the difference in the abilities of a person without the appropriate assessment to discern the true abilities of the person, and the tendency of some people to produce a hasty generalization and false reasoning from a few signs to denounce another person as an incompetent individual because of a recognizable condition.
