Handicap represntation

In a news article written on the Daily Mail it said. 'Disney bans disabled people from skipping lines because too many able bodied visitors are CHEATING'. This news article is representing disabled people in a negative way, this is as its making disabled visitors look like they're the reason some people are cheating the system at Disney parks. The news article is making out that disabled people need to much just to accommodated them, and that actions taken to help facilitate them are causing problems.


I identified this because I think that Daily Mail could've put a headline that is more sympathetic to the disabled visitors of Disney. The headline that they chose to use represents disabled people negatively, as they're being made to look like they're influencing people to cut lines. The article also misrepresents disabled people as its claiming that disabled people are posing as 'tour guides' so that people can skip lines with them. I think that Daily Mail should've wrote more about how able bodied people are ruining it for disabled visitors as people might think that the problem is actually disabled guests, based on the misrepresentation of them in this article.

The Daily Mail says that it has 'traditional values'. I think that by this Daily Mail is saying that their values will be based on views that may not be agreed with by modern society, as 'traditional values' may tend to come across as close minded. This is the case I think, as I found the report to be fairly close minded, Daily Mail didn't seem express any sympathy to those handicapped Disney visitors who do follow the rules.
