Representation of disability

The stereotypes:

In his 1991 study, Paul Hunt found that there are 10 stereotypes of disabled people, used in the media:

  1. The disabled person as pitiable or pathetic
  2. An object of curiosity or violence
  3. Sinister or evil
  4. The super cripple
  5. As atmosphere
  6. Laughable
  7. His/her own worst enemy (dixon from 90210) 
8. As a burden
9. As Non-sexual 
10. Being unable to participate in daily life
