Late night comment on studies

The intensions are normally good, but often the proposed policies of integration fail. Still an medical system approach is widely effected when introducing people with disability to working life rather than putting the stuctural shortcomings of the labour market on the agenda. This forms some thoughts around an approach for my Master Project.

On disability; mark I

When reading literature on disability and definitions surrounding the state, I find many interesting positions. Clearly our Western ideology of perfection relative to a perceived normality as a human being has disabled a vast number of people. By this I do not limit the understanding to what we "normally" define as disabled. Still biologigal and physiological variances are often diagnosed as disabilities whether they represent any functional disadvantage or not.

It's late at night now, so I need to reflect more upon the various approaches to the theme. But I am certain even at this point that a social approach which enlightens the barriers produced by our social structure represents a stance for further work on my behalf. Still, I am equally certain that we as "disabled" need to address our challenges in a motivating manner to gain understanding and respect.

On language..

I wonder whether to write my blog in English or Norwegian. Many of my subjects and thoughts should have an international interest. At least that is what I aim for. On the other hand I probably still express myself better in my native tongue. thus this blog may become a mix of languages depending on the subject. Hopefully you will accept such a format.
