I would like to write about two aspects of Paralympics.
At first, of course, Paralympics have positive points. In spite of having disability, Paralympic player play sport as well as health people do it. So, they will give courage or hope to same disable people but also health people. In addition, they show that disable people are not kind of people who do not have choice but give up many things. What is more, Paralympics will remind us of existence of disable people near us. This event give us opportunity of thinking about normalization. This word means creating society in which all people- health and disable people-can live easier.
But, Paralympics have negative points. Firstly, some people say inspiration porn exist in this event. Inspiration porn means being impressed in seeing them playing game may represent that health people have unconscious sense of superiority to disable parson. In addition, mass-medium tend to focus on not them playing earnestly but emphasizing their problem in daily life. As a result, some people have idea- My life is much better than theirs and I want to cheer for them-. But Paralympic player want cheering from evaluating their performance, not sympathy. Lastly, Paralympic is not so as known as Olympics to many people. So, some Paralympics player do not have sponsor. This means that their cost like traveling expenses, participation cost and tools is too heavy.
