Chosen reading "Colin Barnes and Geof Mercer ''Disability: A choice of models'' in C.Barnes and G Merceisr (2003), Disability (Cambridge:Polity Press). Chapter 1, pages 1-18. Explain the main points being made by the auther, and then use this to critically evaluate the political slogan promoted by contemporary social movements that we should ''celebrate difference'' in respect to ONE of the groups. Word Limit 2000 * only use direct quotes very sparingly - i.e. at most 100-150 words in total. In short what we want to see is you explaining in your own words how the author is arguing but with your explanation being closely referenced to his/her text so we can see the extent to which you have understood him/her. In the process, you need to extract only those points that relate most directly to the secound part of the essay title ahich involves you critically evaluating the above political slogan. Use about half of the total word count for this part of the essay. * The secound part of the assignment focusses on a theme that is explored - namely, what it means to ''celebrate difference''. This raises all kinds of contriverisl theoretical and philosophical issues concerning equality and diversity, & oppresive policy & practice. Again, we are not being prescriptive about how you should specifically tackle the secound part of the assignment, although you must discuss the group disabled people. * This involves assessing the strengths & weaknesses of the claims being made, through a thorough consideration of arguements and counter arguement. in this assignment, the claim under scrutiny is one that is made by social movements who frequently talk and ''celebrating differences'' and diversity between people & cultures. * Finally, in addition to the reading chosen, as a very rough ''rule of thumb'' use and reference 5-7 supplementary sources (chapters from books, journal articles etc.) Generally avoid website references and especially wikepedia - these sources, to put it politely are very unreliable in this subject.
