What is the political and social significance of the following comment: “Disability only becomes a tragedy for me when society fails to provide the things we need to lead our lives—job opportunities or barrier free buildings, for example.

What did you find most challenging? What did you learn about yourself in the process? What did you learn about disability? What surprised you?

1 A. I watched the six minute eighteen seconds short film name “Don’t Look Down on me” by Jonathan Novick and my immediate response to it was I was ashamed and disgusted the way people were behaving and treating the subject of the movie. How can we call ourselves civilized after this? We take the pride of calling ourselves a great and developed nation but seeing the way we behave I have to admit that we have a long way to go. How can people be so insensitive and why are people like this? What fun do they from this sadist attitude, I am still in a shock and disbelief after seeing this short film. 1 B. A sick, rotten and backward cultural attitude is reflected in the whole movie.
