I chose to look into the Paralympic Games as my example of disability culture. In the link above, a video showing Basketball highlights at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, I believe the viewer can see the passion and love that the players have for the game. I believe the games show that physically disabled people live their lives to the extreme, and are just as able to compete at high levels of sport as non disabled athletes. I believe the Games also show the progressive attitude of non-disabled people towards the disabled community, as there is a lot of support for the games.
