Using the concept of "disability" and The concept of "Experiential Affinity"  Id like you to consider what it might be like to be physically disabled in some way. Given the examples in the slides, how do you think people might react to you when applying for a job? How have you reacted to people with a disability in the past and why did you react/respond the way you did? 

 

Using the concept of disability and the concept of experiential affinity, if I were physically disabled somehow, I would feel frustrated. This is because being physically disabled is self-pity and sometimes anger at those who are doing things that I cannot effortlessly. It would be annoying when people show me self-pity or try to help in a way that serves as a reminder that I am not perfect. When applying for a job, I think people might give me special treatment due to my disability rather than treating me like the other applicants; people might prioritize or have a discriminative response in other places.

When applying for a job, I think people might give me special treatment due to my disability rather than treating me like the other applicants; people might prioritize or have a discriminative response in other places. I have interacted with people with disabilities in the past, and there is this one time in the train there was no place to sit, and a physically challenged passenger boarded the train, and I let them sit at my chair. I responded that way is because the person was physically challenged, and I felt like it was right to offer them my sit and that way, I would be assisting and would not be offended if they refused.
