Discussion titled, "Media & Disability: Pity-heroism Dichotomy". 

In media, persons with disabilities are usually seen as object of pity or source of inspiration and not as usual human beings. One argument suggests that the feeling of pity makes people aware about their problems and making them source of inspiration boosts their confidence. On the contrary, people also argue that persons with disabilities should be seen as usual human beings with usual human needs with their skills as their identity rather than disability. The discussion will also focus on whether they should be called persons with disabilities or differently-abled persons.
