Le concept de handicap a été examiné sous diverses perspectives culturelles à travers le monde, y compris le Nigéria et s'est avéré être perçu différemment dans chaque culture. Dans la société nigériane, les personnes handicapées ont été mal comprises, ce qui a conduit à leur perception négative et à leur traitement. L'expérience a montré que les croyances d'un groupe d'individus sur les causes d'un handicap affectent dans une large mesure leurs attitudes envers les personnes handicapées. De même, la perception de la cause du handicap détermine le type de traitement suivi. Dans la culture igbo, par exemple, un handicap peut être attribué à la colère des dieux, auquel cas la personne est tuée ou jetée dans une forêt maléfique pour être dévorée par des animaux sauvages. L'ironie est que ce traitement est administré malgré le niveau d'intelligence que possède la personne handicapée. Cette attitude est inhumaine et, par conséquent, fait reculer le peuple Igbo au lieu d'avancer. C'est à cette fin que l'auteur s'inquiète de ce qui peut être fait pour corriger ces croyances erronées et provoquer un changement de position. Cela fera avancer la société et amener les Igbo à atteindre des sommets plus élevés.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The concept of disability has been examined from various cultural perspectives across the globe including Nigeria and found to be perceived differently in every culture. In Nigerian society, persons with disabilities have been incorrectly understood, which has led to their negative perception and treatment. Experience has shown that the beliefs a group of individuals hold about the causes of a disability, to a large extent, affect their attitudes toward persons with disability. Similarly, the perception of the cause of disability determines the kind of treatment meted. In Igbo culture, for instance, a disability may be attributed to the wrath of the gods, in which case the person is killed or thrown into an evil forest to be devoured by wild animals. The irony is that this treatment is given despite the level of intelligence the disabled person possesses. This attitude is inhuman and, therefore, sets the Igbo people backward instead of forward. It is towards this end that the author is concerned about what can be done to correct these erroneous beliefs and cause a shift in stand. This will move the society forward and cause the Igbo people to move to higher heights. 56 pp. Englisch. N° de réf. du vendeur 9783659755972
