In the reading Disability by Nancy Mairs, author talks about the american society and her life struggle with multiple sclerosis. Mairs starts her essay, by describing herself as a crippled woman, and her reaction about the media and people with disability. She speaks about her conditions and states how she never noticed a cripple woman like her in the media. Not even for advertisement of products. Mair writes that “I once asked a local advertiser why he didn’t include disabled people in his spots. His response seemed direct enough: “We don’t want to give people the idea that our product is just for the handicapped.”(page #14). I believe, the author felt kind of offended, because she’s a person that see people with disabilities as normal people.
