How Does A Person With Disability Fit Into A Multicultural...

How does a person with a disability fit into a multicultural paradigm? Do they fit into a multicultural paradigm? What happens when a person with a disability is also a member of another marginalized group? In order to answer these questions and fully understand disabilities in multiculturalism, we will examine how a person with disability fits into a pluralist multicultural paradigm. To begin, we must first have a solid understanding of the pluralist multicultural paradigm. Dupre (2012) states the pluralist multicultural paradigm focuses on a person-in-environment approach where the experiences and behaviors associated with belonging to a particular group are highlighted. This means that the specific experiences, values, culture and beliefs of a different groups are central to creating acceptance of all cultures. This acceptance comes as persons outside the group seek to understand and learn about the experiences, culture, values, and beliefs of other groups. It is founded on the idea that increased knowledge, awareness, and exposure to different cultures will increase acceptance as well as lower prejudices towards other cultures. Kinchloe Steinberg (1997) discuss how this occurs through college curriculum where students are learning to eliminate prejudice through learning and increased awareness of culture, values, beliefs, and experiences. When we talk about the experiences, values, and beliefs which are highlighted within a pluralist multicultural paradigm, weShow MoreRelatedMy Own Beliefs And Values1808 Words   |  8 Pagesbeliefs and values through which I see the world around me, I have come to a better understanding of the theory and the theoretical paradigm that best fits my personality and views.
