Emmerdale- Disability


The way this episode represents Disability varies as in the first clip the Disabled man Jackson sticks up for himself showing he is strong and independent which represents Disability in a positive light showing they are still able and capable of looking after themselves. It also shows how harsh and cruel other members of the public can be as two men in the bar make an insulting joke and call Jackson "special".
However in the hospital Jackson is shown to have extremely low self esteem referring to himself as being "trapped in a broken body" which represents Disability in a negative light as he wants to end his life.
