Uočljivost tjelesnog oštećenja osoba s invaliditetom u socijalnim interakcijama

Attitudes toward people with visible disabilities have been changed for the better during last decades. They have been changed from intensive segregation which result was that people with disabilities had spent their entire life in their homes totally socially excluded to the much better social status in the present time. Relation toward people with disabilities that results in their segregation is often based on their physical look and still exists in the society. The aim of this article is to show that this kind of relation is not the result of the impolite and rude behavior but is the result of deep-seated cultural attitudes or criteria that separate something what is beautiful from the less beautiful or even what is estimated ugly. It is social construct of our reality which is transmitted through socialization from generation to generation.
