Activity 1.4: Developing Positive Attitudes

1. Where do attitudes like the ones that Daniel refers to come from?

I believe that attitudes mentioned in the video stems from a society’s ignorance towards persons with disabilities. In my society, there are some who still believe that persons with disabilities cannot make valuable contributions. They are seen as burdens to be put away in various institutions. 

2. How can they be challenged? Can you think of any examples from your own experience where unhelpful attitudes have successfully been challenged?

While I may not have a personal experience to speak from, I believe that such attitudes can be challenged through education.

Very true I totally agree with your contribution made about ignorance. As a society individuals lack the knowledge hence the reason for ignorance towards persons with disabilities.
