Culture as Disibility

The idea that people cannot communicate with others weather that is because of a language barrier or a cultural barrier. While I take a bit of offense at how he uses learning disabilities and cultural disabilities in the same context when I believe that they are two very different problems within our societies, I do agree that how we negatively view and isolate people with these disabilities is a demonstration of an arrogance withing our society by those who are not labeled disabled. I think that his argument would have been better if he had more focused on more possible solutions to this problem. As to the argument that he brings up on how there are only two ways for a person to be in the education system is a very interesting point that needs too be better discussed with relation to the varying degrees and I believe that more research should be put into the subject.
