Persons with

Disabilities(PWDS)
and Underprivileged
Sectors of the Society

1
DISABLED PERSONS

This term implies that the


personhood of the individual is
broken and problematic, when in
fact, it is only his body that has a
disability.
2
PERSONS WITH
DISABILITIES
Applied to those persons who have long-
term physical, psychological, intellectual,
or sensory impairments which in
interaction with several unreasonable
or discriminatory barriers may obstruct
their full and active participation as equal
members of the society.
3
The person-first argument
“It’s about seeing me as a person,
not seeing my disability.”
The idea behind person-first language is that it
puts the person first – it’s about seeing the
person, not the disability.

If you use disability as a descriptor, it places


emphasis on the disability.
4
The identity-first argument

“My disability is not a negative


or something to be ashamed of.”

Much like us, persons
with certain conditions
have also dreams
and ambitions in life.

The notion of poverty is not
one-dimensional; rather it is
multidimensional.

11
1. Income poverty-
the most common measure
of the underprivileged
which is defined in terms
of goods and services.

or health deprivation-
is almost a direct result
of income poverty

Rights of
Women

16
In 1712, Jean-Jacques Rousseau
said that women should be
educated to please men.

17
In Vindication on the Rights
of Women (1782),
Mary Wollstonecraft argued
that such education would produce
women who were
mere propagators of fools.

18
She believed that society should
allow women to attain equal rights
to philosophy and education given
to men.

19
Globally, women and children are
being subjected to oppression and
different forms of exploitation that
assault human dignity and violate
human rights.

20
PARALYMPICS-
international contests
for athletes with disabilities
21
The Philippine
Government
supports persons
with disabilities by
helping them find
employment.
22
Poverty may increase
the risk of disability

23
According to Emmanuel Levinas,
a French Philosopher, we must
go beyond ourselves and
concentrate more on rendering
assistance and acting with
concern toward others.
24
We should have the courage
to defend them from any form
of social deprivation
and discrimination.

25
Also, we can help the
underprivileged by sincerely and
consistently joining in campaigns
or movements that seek to
empower them.

26
It is our obligation to help the
underprivileged, since they are
considered as vulnerable to
different forms of human rights
violation and social deprivation.

27
It is also important to promote
inclusivity.
Inclusivity is the practice of
providing equal access to
opportunities and resources for
people who might be excluded or
marginalized.
28
It is our moral duty to uphold
human dignity and importance
of life.

Let
us
pray...

1. Recognize how individuals form
societies and how individuals are
transformed by societies.
2. Compare different forms of societies
and individualities.
3. Explain how human relations are
transformed by social systems.
32
What is SOCIETY?

33
It is an organized group
of people whose members
interact frequently
and have a common
territory and culture.
34
SOCIAL PHILOSOPHY-
Focuses on studying
society. How it is form
and how it influences
the human person.
35
How is
SOCIETY
formed?
36
The human person by
nature is a social being.
And society is a natural
outcome of the human
tendency to socialize.

The human person by

THE SOCIAL CONTRACT
THEORY
1. For Thomas Hobbes,
a. man in his natural state is governed
by his desires and these often lead
to conflict with his fellow men.
39
b. Society is a means by which
people seek to control their natural
tendencies and impose order.

40
2. For John Locke,
a. Persons in their natural states
are more cooperative and reasonable
and that society is formed through
the consent of the individuals
that organized it
(consent of the governed)
41
b. Locke’s social contract is a
covenant among individuals to
cooperate and share the burden
of upholding the welfare of the
society.
42
c. People have the rights to
overthrow a failed government.

43
3. For Jean-Jacques Rousseau,
a. He advocated on the concept of
“general will.”
b. General will comes from the
sovereign citizens and they
entrust their will to the
government.
44
Although there are variations
on the social contract theory,
one common feature they all have
is that different individuals enter
into a kind of agreement with
one another to form a society.
45
It is important to note
that society is founded on the
concept of the common good.
