Detailed explanation-1: -The esteemed American figure skater Scott Hamilton once said, “The only disability in life is a bad attitude.” This statement is problematic in that it limits disability to a bad attitude, which is very damaging.
Detailed explanation-2: -In health and medicine, attitudes toward disability are defined as the cognitive and behavioral processes that involve judgment and favorable/unfavorable reactions to aspects of disability [10].
Detailed explanation-3: -The resultant attitudes include pity, fear, uneasiness, guilt, sympathy and respect. These negative perceptions of disability relegate persons with disabilities to the background, thereby making them the largest oppressed minority in society.
Detailed explanation-4: -A negative attitude is a disposition, feeling, or manner that is not constructive, cooperative, or optimistic. It can affect anyone, just about anywhere. For some of us, it’s at home. Perhaps you know of someone who has a bad attitude about doing chores.
