My Own Privilege Analysis
I am privileged in many ways, but the one privilege I appreciate the most is my health and my ability to physically and mentally do anything I want. I choose to encounter and explore ableism in the form of healthy privilege and how I and social institutions oppress those that are chronically ill, severely obese, or otherwise limited by ill health with a restricted ability to function physically and/or mentally both as individuals and in society. The following will include how I encounter my own privilege of ableism and healthy privilege, a history of laws and movements in place to help those with special needs, encounters with the disabled, and what more we can do to change the lives of the disabled for the better.
