Introduction In the era when tolerance and political correctness are viewed as the pillars for the society to stand on, the issue of addressing people with a disability seems to be underrepresented. Although the problem is being dealt with at the political and economic level with the recent Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the social problems related to accommodating the disabled in the society have been overlooked and, as a result, filled with a variety of prejudices and misconceptions. While the very phenomenon of disability and what effects it has on one’s life has been worn out to death, most people face significant problems when actually communicating with the disabled people (Morris, Mueller, & LaForce 2013). The recent tendency to glorify disabled people by putting an emphasis on their ability to perform basic tasks instead of their accomplishments merely for the reasons of political correctness may trigger severe aftermath for the target audience as the images displayed and depicted in a recent article published by the International Labour Organization (Ryder 2014). People with Disabilities and the Ambiguity in Their Portrayal In a very weird way, the article that was supposed to debunk the myths about disabled people only contributed to their further development. A closer look at the pictures under analysis will reveal that they fail to subvert the traditional perception of a disabled person as an extraordinary one on all levels. One might argue that the author tries to convey the opposite by stating that contemporary media tries to portray disabled people as heroes. However, when providing the images of the specified denizens of the population in the traditional setting with the intent to draw attention to a particular person, one faces the threat of underrating their abilities. Apart from the pictures, though being rather formal and focusing on legal issues, the text of the article contains the imagery that creates a negative perception of disabled people like the ones, who do not need to make an effort to be recognized: “When they do appear, they are often stigmatized or stereotyped, and may appear as either object of pity or superheroic accomplishment and endurance” (Ryder 2014, p. 1). The passage provided above may be interpreted in several ways. On the one hand, it may be viewed as innocent and quite reasonable, seeing that there is an evident tendency to portray the specified denizens of the population in an objective light, avoiding viewing them in either sympathetic or heroic light. On the other hand, the fact that these people are lauded for doing the regular activities, which other people are not recognized for, questions the reasonability of the approach in question. Specifically, one must bear in mind that the images of people living their regular lives do not appear that often in media unless stock pictures are required. When reading about differently-abled people, however, one is more likely to see the casual images of people, whose lives are described in an article or a magazine. The above-mentioned argument begs the question whether the differently-abled should be portrayed in media as people doing regular things or whether they should only appear as the people, who challenge the social norms and the extent of their physical and mental abili
