One Being Cripple

Mairs basically restated most of what Dolnick said about how language is used to identify people. Although they also identify people by what they can or cannot do. Example being a crippled. People again look down on those who cannot function the same as everyone else, or what is not considered normal. It is really all about first impressions and how one is viewed. Often times we look at someone and only take them at face value and not who they really are. We don't stop to listen to them to talk to them because we automatically think that just because they are different in are un-superior to the rest of us. On Being Cripple it shows us that because we don't know the person and who they are we really don't understand them fully because we do not take the time out to get to know that person. If we really listened to the person we might understand them through their language as well as through their identity.
