Throughout history, people with disabilities have often been subjected to creel and inhuman treatment. For example, in the early twentieth century the disabled were frequently viewed as subhuman creatures who were a menace to society. As a result, many state legislatures passed compulsory sterilization (绝育) laws aimed at handicapped people. Drawing on similar prejudices against the disabled, Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime persecuted and put to death perhaps as many as one million people with disabilities. In a chilling reminder of this legacy, neo-Nazi groups in Germany launched more than 40 attacks on physically and mentally disabled people during the first two months of 1993.
Today, such hostile treatment of disabled people has generally been replaced by a medical model which focuses on the functional impairments of the person. Those with disabilities are therefore viewed as chronic patients. We can say that society assigns the disabled a "handicapped role". They are viewed as helpless, childlike people who are expected to assume a cheerful and continuing dependence on family members, friends, and health care professionals.
Increasingly, however, people concerned with the rights of the disabled have criticized this medical model. It is the unnecessary and discriminatory barriers present in the environment—both physical and attitudinal—that stand in the way of people with disabilities, more than their biological limitations do. Applying a civil rights model, activists emphasize that those with disabilities face wide-spread prejudice, discrimination, and segregation. For example, most voting places are architecturally inaccessible to wheelchair users and fail to offer ballots (选票) that can be used by people unable to read print. Many states continue to deny blind and deaf citizens the right to serve on juries. City and state government hearings, school board meetings, and other important public events are typically held in inaccessible locations and without sign language interpreters. Viewed from a conflicting perspective, such public policies reflect unequal treatment that helps to keep people with disabilities in a subservient (屈从的) position.
Labeling theorists have suggested that society attaches a disgrace to many forms of disability and this stigma leads to prejudicial treatment. Indeed, people with disabilities frequently observe that the non-disabled see them only as blind, deaf, wheelchair users, and so forth, rather than as complex human beings with individual strengths and weaknesses whose blindness or deafness is merely one aspect of their lives. In this regard, a review of studies of women with disabilities disclosed that most academic research on the disabled does not differentiate by gender—thereby perpetuating the view that when a disability is present, no other personal characteristics can matter.
